What are you doing today?

Good Lord you lead an interesting life man. Always love seeing your work/adventures.

I myself will be learning the Mindbend Suicide recently posted in the 0a thread, then taking a nice bike ride with my wife and son. Also making carnitas tacos, Mexican rice, and refried beans all from scratch.

Oh and working a full shift from my couch. Exciting.

Received a call this morning. My pay will cease on April 7…so welcome to the world of furlough and unemployment…

I know I shouldn’t have but did a “non essential” run this morning after finding a Target gift card and picked up Animal Crossing, will be my first AC experience and seems to be a very fitting game for times like this.

I’m furloughed too. No idea when I will be called back. A lot of people where I work were laid off. All the days melt into each other and it does not seem to matter what day it is except for Sundays when I watch The Walking Dead. So my weeks have two days: a Sunday and then a really long other day that I have not come up with a name for yet. I’m keeping busy but also feel I have accomplished nothing and it doesn’t even seem to matter anyway!

guys, i am really sorry to hear about your layoffs/furloughs. lousy times to be sure. are you guys going to be able to get the unemployment benefits +? the govt is upping the amount you can collect by like $600, so that’s something i suppose.

i sincerely hope you will be back to work before it becomes a big issue. there’s a lot of chatter about improved treatments and whatnot. in my non-medical opinion, i think that’s the key. being able to treat it. if we have options to lessen the severity and duration, then it’s not as big an issue and we can get the economy rolling again. so, when we catch it, we can go to the doc, get diagnosed and do a course of whatever the medicine is. be over it in a week with no lasting issues or fear of horrible death. then back to work.

anyway. really sorry to hear about the jobs boys.

Yea I don’t even know the days anymore. There’s a weird paradox though. The days themselves go by fast, the weeks however drag.

Right now I would have been counting down my 2 week til my Disney trip that’s now on hold. My friends and I pushed it to October assuming this is far enough ahead to let this pandemic die.

After running a few errands this afternoon, I noticed a new/stricter policy essential stores are now doing: they are closely monitoring amount of customers coming in via taking head count and had set up stanchions out in front of the store as people wait in line to enter. They’d pulse so many people in at a time.

In the store, it’s mixed on who’s minding their distance. A chunk of people are acting like it’s nothing and will walk right up next to you to look at an item instead of waiting…many times I stopped dead in my tracks of what I was doing so I could get out of “their way”… Seriously, people here just don’t know how to wait a few seconds and let one finish what they were doing.

Leaving the store, the lines were actually well managed with the 6 feet apart, and they’d call the next person up to the counter as between customers, they’d wipe everything down. In the end, the lines will move slower but they’re taking the extra precautions wiping down counters, keypads, and bagging areas.

Man… I went to the grocery store yesterday and was struck by many of the same things. Some people still getting all up in your personal space. Not cool.

Next time I go out (which will be a few weeks), I should just start shooting the moon down the aisles…that’ll keep people away :smiley:

At my Walmart they had stanchions with ropes and a woman herded us through the one open entrance of the store telling us to stay six feet apart. No big deal.

Messing with the design feature in Animal Crossing some I wait for my new home upgrade. Some very familiar artwork here :slight_smile:

No stores today and I’m kind of glad I’m set for a while now. Was reading this morning how stores are tightening up that belt and only letting 1 person in as 1 person exits, up to 5 people per 1000 sq/ft. Aisles will be routed for 1-way traffic flow and some places are going as far as blocking off non essential items such as toys and sporting goods. After yesterday’s frustrating run, I can see why this is now in place.

lol that photo is so win :rofl:

Also…I love AC! I want to play New Horizons so bad!

i know this is a bit dated of a response, but this video reminded me of it. my wife turned 40 on feb 14 (valentines day)… that’s another story in itself.

when we woke up, i turned over and said, “today is the day i get to trade you in for two 20-year olds”. she quickly responded, “bs, you couldn’t handle two 20-year olds.”
