do you get mosquito repellant?

I wouldn't go outside in any environment like this without it. Last thing I need is to get sick with something else in the middle of a pandemic.

The basic idea behind a properly functioning swamp is that the place is crawling with life, and you can take that very literally.

You smell like a good meal to mosquitoes, better get yourself some repellant.

Take away the coffee and the whole process grinds to a halt. Machines, however, do not even need coffee in order to keep quantifying data.

I don't know what was going through her mind. Like, we're outdoors for a solid 12 - 15 hours every day for a week and you don't think there are going to be bugs?

An ex once asked me what the sound was outside and I replied "Some kid with firecrackers or some kid with an uzi". Then turned up the volume on the telly.

Best to ignore it, I find.

Though that's a habit I need to kick, the habit of ignoring most problems and hoping they go away

I work in government. A problem doesn't exist as far as your concerned until a group of voters yell at the elected officials who will then yell at the Governor, who yells at the Cabinet, who yells at the department heads, who yells at us.

Also if your wondering why nothing ever seems to make any sense.

I haven't used Excel in so long I can't say if Libre Office is the same, or as good. It's good enough for me and is free.

I've used Libre & OnlyOffice; both of them were not only crap & slow, but also ate up a lot of space.

I'm currently using the 2007 version (picked up from school).

You just described a pecking order, which unfortunately makes perfect sense.
