maybe it’s because i’m so used to working from home that this hadn’t sunk in for me yet. i just realized my options on the weekends are going to rapidly become more limited while the weather is simultaneously getting better and it’s going to make me go crazy

just got off the phone with my dad. his quote, 'the history books will look back at this in the same light as h. g. wells 'war of the worlds'. biggest unnecessary panic ever' fortunately they're out in the middle of nowhere and hate crowds anyways. he told me that if everyone would just listen to the cdc and who then we'd all be fine. i was going to point out that both entities are telling people to shelter in place but gently caress it

triple post: it'll be real tempting to do this but do not do this. yeah gently caress work i don't care about that- you'll feel like poo poo. get out of bed at the same time, take a shower, get dressed, use your lack of commute to cook yourself a nice breakfast. it makes a huge difference in your mental well being

Jonny 290 posted:wfh without a strong social support network is absolute death from madness. Don't be too excited about it unless you are planning to take specific steps to see other humans on a regular basis. yup. i lived this life when i was in dc with almost no friends and i regularly idealized suicide. moving back to pittsburgh where i actually have a social life again was the best move i ever made. i remember what it was like being cooped up for weeks at a time and i am not looking forward to it. at all.

Anything coop interests me because it's the easiest way for my social circle to get together in any capacity considering everyone's schedules these days. Deep Rock Galactic is currently the choice. we've been playing a shitload of prominence poker, especially during the day. it's real easy to sit around a poker table bullshitting with friends while still getting your work done
