it's round, like always

I'm going to put all my friends and family on the payroll book so when they come round to my house it's actually an important work meeting.

And then we'll all die shortly afterwards

First thing in the morning if you can go then is good for that (after any allotted time for NHS/care workers or vulnerable people obviously) since it's pretty quiet at my local supermarket and the shelves have been good. Only problem is that the booze aisle isn't open at that time.

working from home seems like a pretty cushy gig? sit in your PJs with a laptop next to you and occasionally waggle the mouse so they see you're sitting at your computer the whole time

Bringing work home does suck though, it invades what should be a place you chill at. I've found myself checking email at gone 9pm because I've heard my phone ping.

This is absolutely a suggestion that gets spaffed onto corporate "wellbeing" and "work/life balance" guidance but also I found it legit helpful since I really struggle with the same. I saw advice suggesting to try to have a "fake" commute if you can, to give yourself that separation. So if you'd normally walk to/from work then just go out the house for a short walk if you can before/after work (from wednesday obviously so you're not some kind of double exercise criminal before that...) If there is a book you'd read on a bus, or a game you'd play on your phone, or music you'd listen to in the car- then do that for a bit before/after work as a deliberate separating activity.

Went outside to drop the garbage bag to the bin, lots of people casually walking/running outside and there was a guy assaulting and yelling at the bus driver while punching the bus windows and police car pulled over so I guess we're back to normal, godbless.

Went into the city centre to get some essentials and the place is pretty chocca. Social distancing seems to have left the building. Also seems like m&s just isn't stocking much in the way of food at the moment. Pretty much half their fridges closed. Which sucks because I love going in there and getting all the reduced meat.

i might give this a pop but in addition to the absence of walk, the merging of GOOD SCREEN and BAD SCREEN into one MEDIOCRE SCREEN is messing with me a bit. i believe this is unavoidable

I selflessly rescued an abandoned cat during the COVID-19 Pandemic :3:

I'm supposed to be shielding but because I live all of 100ft from two food shops and a Boots, I pick and choose my timing to run out for essentials like milk and fresh vegetables. The number of times I've given other people a wide berth on that 100ft walk and they just ignore that I'm trying to avoid them is..too many to count. I had one guy near crash in to me as he marched across the car park, not caring or noticing that I was trying to avoid people. Haven't said anything but I've given a few good scowls from over the top of my mask.

I think from now on I should take this shielding thing a lot more seriously. gently caress.

I wouldn't have thought it possible months ago, but somehow this period of self isolation has actually managed to make me hate other people more.

Are we planning on calling it a 2nd wave when it hits as technically the 1st was never bothered to be dealt with.

The other day my wife ordered me to get her some beef hula hoops from the shop.

Got home, lobbed them at her while yelling ‘GET BEEFY BITCH’ and then noticed the headset.. she was on conference call with her whole department.

Apparently they were surprised that we were ‘friends as well as partners’. Isn’t that like, normal?
