Mainly tired and discouraged, because as a result of the infusion treatment yesterday I had indigestion that kept me awake till after the first bird sang in the morning. And ended up with maybe 5 hours of sleep before I became fully awake. But I'm doing better. Just tired.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I'm one of the people who is a region admin in Second Life (it's not that much of a distinction when there are 28,000 regions...) but where I am is a newbie center, and we try to keep it friendly, non-political, non-religious, non-controversial. I have a staff of tutors to help newcomers -- and I had to tell some of the oldest of them in strong (yet still polite) language that discussing COVID publicly was not allowed. Talk about it in instant messages, but not in public nearby chat. I got flak from two of the oldest, who have been in SL far longer than I have, but today they agreed I had been right.

And then there was the guy who came in with the username COVID, whom I had to ban and report, because a pandemic is not a cute PG -level name to have in a virtual world.

So I feel like whoever it was that was trying to sweep the ocean out of the house with a broom. The waves keep coming. (and now I'm going to try to get some sleep.)

Whoa! Managing a virtual reality...virtually. Fun times!

I guess it was bound to happen that the situation also spills over into virtual spaces. Thanks for looking out for your part of it.

How anyone can think it's cute to name oneself after a pandemic is beyond me.
