stupid but can we stop with the anxiety over everything. Kids can come to school anymore because they have anxiety. Can't take a test, Anxiety. Can't show up for work, anxiety. How could I possibly be expected to show up for work 5 days a week? That's crazy...
Wait...
I have anxiety over peoples anxiety maybe I should stay home and collect unemployment or sue HROT/CNN/Fox.
