Friday April 10th (aka Good Good Friday Friday!)

[Pagan]

Yeah, lots of things are not working the way they should be lately. We had two brief power drops today, which is really rare. Then I checked with our postal service as I have a letter overdue from the states and found out there is virtually no service right now between Finland and anything outside of Europe or China, and it has been this way since they closed the borders. I knew they were doing a lot less, but I did not realize everything has been on hold for a month now. Geeze.

Then there is the bozo now-former agency head who decided to buy PPEs from 2 Estonian fly-by-nights to the tune of 5 million euros each. He did pay for both shipments. The bank froze the funds on one so nothing got delivered. On the 2nd order, the masks were received, but were not up to standards. The bozo did no checking whatsover on who he was dealing with or specify what quality he needed. He (and the taxpayers) got raped. He also had to resign today over it. The first vendor (a woman who has a plastic surgery clinic and looks the part of the botched patient) claims the 2nd guy stole all the money. He claims she sent the Hells Angels after him to collect. Now that the stockpile agency has stated there are 2 separate orders, she seems to have dummied up. Oh, and the certificate of quality is also in doubt. What a mess, and it appears they bought *another* shipment from her. Sigh...
