spacetoaster posted:Hey brother, can you give us all a heads up when the logistic stuff actually starts failing? I can only speak for my company and volume, but I am in a state where it's essential stuff open only. My company has a lot of problems that have been festering for many years. I mean, most people will end up getting better but there are definitely going to be bumps where there is rolling supply chain disruptions if the middlemen who operate the warehouses where all the food is actually stored before it gets shipped out to the stores get hit hard. I have no faith in my company to look after it's employees aside from nominal safety precautions, some of dubious effectiveness. I'll definitely post if and when our shipping really starts grinding down in capacity. All we can really hope for is we don't lose many people from this at once. We have numerous guys that are definitely in at-risk for serious issues from this as well.

Sitting on my rear end, mostly. Been trying to cook with whatever we have, but the kitchen is tiny and it's a pain to get anything done, and I end up doing all of the cleaning too. Today I gave up and had Kraft mac n cheese for lunch with some cheap red wine. Dinner was some assorted cheese and salami, eaten directly from the package with some more cheap red. Tomorrow will probably be more of the same.

going for a ten mile run outside today, wide berth to anyone else on the trail/road but it's a route thats not normally too crowded after that, one final all-hands meeting at work to discuss the future (hospitality so mostly "how much money do we get while we're sat at home with our thumbs up our arses" I imagine, UK gvt is at least doing SOMETHING on this front) Fatkraken fucked around with this message at 09:16 on Mar 23, 2020 |

You can cook wonders in a tiny non-ideal space, just shift things around and figure it out, it'll be awesome. I The second the beer distribution falls apart is the breaking point around here

flesh dance posted:You can cook wonders in a tiny non-ideal space, just shift things around and figure it out, it'll be awesome. I Yeah, I know, it's just.. exhausting. Planning and prep take twice as long as they should because I have to rearrange things, then I have to move them again so I can clean up. I think I'm a pretty drat good cook, but it gets really tiring really fast, you know? Especially when the only built-in appliances I have are the fridge and the microwave. Sure, I have other appliances, but bringing them out means I lose most of my prep space. Maybe once this thing calms down I'll venture out and find one of those kitchen sink covers that are designed to give you more counter space, or something.  I guess if I get really desperate, the Chipotle down the street is still open.

Already pretty much a shut in so very little is different. Healthcare worker, so still working through this except trying to navigate a messy, heavy job while using parts of my body I forgot existed to nudge and hold things I don't want to touch with clean/dirty hands. Goro from MK would have been loving great at this stuff. I'm going to turn into Howard Hughes by the end of it, except broke because this job pays poo poo. Hobby wise, before we all collectively realized that poo poo just got real, I had just purchased a year subscription to steezy.co, an online dance website. So when I'm not working, drinking or sleeping, I'm napoleon dynamiting it up. I'll moonwalk my way out of this loving quarantine if it kills me.

Just got word that our plant is am essential business since we produce parts that go into medical equipment such as AEDs and Ventilators and MRI machines so we are going to be continuing working the rest of this week's shift during Dallas's shelter in place order. My roommates parents gifted us a bag of beans a while back, I might try to Crock-Pot them on Wednesday for fun if I run out of things to work on.

My other new hobby other than returning to restoring my Jeep is reading the news and watching the dems pull out progressively larger firearms and shooting themselves in what's left of their feet over this stimulus check ordeal. Great job loving idiots.

AOCs Pink Pearl posted:Working from home and raising a 4 year old solo God bless you. I teach a lot of pre-k for a public school system. If you haven't already, this is a wonderful opportunity to get the tyke ready for kindergarten next year. Things like knowing the primary colors, the ABC's/numbers (and being able to write them), along with being able to write their name will put them well ahead of their peers. If you're a real overachiever, basic addition/subtraction (2-1=1, 2+2=4) and recognizing/writing simple words (cat, dog, etc) will be good too.

I load airplanes full of cargo and am considered essential. Right now I'm getting at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours of overtime a day. I'm basically doing the same thing I always do except going out on the weekends or eating out.

I just got word that everyone in the restaurant where I work is on a 3 month furlough (like, a pause in our contract with the right to start up again when we reopen), with 80% pay for that period from the government. UK is at least doing right by hospitality workers BoJo can still get hosed tho.

Wisconsin is shutting down tomorrow. I don't do anything ever and stay in my house all day every day besides getting food or cigarettes. So this won't be a big change. However, now that I have to stay in place I now have the urge to get out. I'm going to make tuna salad tonight so I can use up my bread before it goes bad. I always want to get half loaves of bread but they cost just as much as a full loaf so I end up wasting it. I never buy celery so my friend is going to leave one stalk on his porch for me.
