No his kids are not your problem, but a decent human and a decent employer realizes that this pandemic is not over yet and lives are still affected. We're not back to normal.

Yesterday was having a Teams call with my colleague in IT and her kid running around in background and says bye to me at end of the call (thought it was kinda funny lol). End of the day, as long as the work gets done, who gives a real fuck if there background noise. As long as the noise isn't affecting the purpose of the call, move on with it.

Lol mines 14 and loud AF.

Whenever I had an important call I'd go in his room and warn him, Listen asshole dad has a meeting if I hear you at all I'm going to come in here and rip that playstation out of the wall and you won't see it for a week.

He understands real talk

Does anyone know how the border will monitor you to make sure that you have quarantined for 14 days (I would be coming up from the US)?

They take all your info and phone number and RCMP does checks and you get phone calls from a number that if you don't pick up they come do a check right away...

Hope you're not intending to circumvent it though, that's a dick move

Thanks, no not at all. It would just be helpful to know how they track (ie. with the app on your phone or physical checks) is all.

Trust me, we live in Seattle and we are in awe as to how stupid people here are about not social distancing. We are not about to put anyone at risk in Vancouver, particularly family.
