lmao what functioning adult doesn't have coffee-crafting equipment in their home
if you don't want to make your own coffee while in isolation for pandemic reasons, you could always have a coronavirus coffee delivered to you by a coronavirus!
gig economy has all the answers

Was supposed to spend this evening doing an after-hours upgrade of some stuff in a production environment, but it was just postponed indefinitely because the customer's entire staff just got the WFH order and it's chaos

do those 5 cent masks really do anything? i've heard it may help if you are contaminated by preventing the spread tiny particles of water from your mouth into the air, but it doesn't work the other way around. also i've heard the holes in those masks that allow you to breath are much too large to keep out any viruses floating around airborne.

well poo poo

only one option left then

for unrelated reasons I started playing Rust right around the time this crap got started


gotta say, the extreme isolation, constant starving, and instant unbridled hostility towards every other human being you see is very on-message for the pandemic

the police have closed the beach near us, it was entirely empty all day long, maybe 10 people walking on a 2kmx100m stretch. Seems pretty nuts to me but maybe it was a big transmission vector? idk how sustainable the lockdown is going to be if safe activities aren't allowed to continue

possibly that was in response to the video going around yesterday showing thousands of people idiots mingling on a florida beach like nothing was happening

I'm sure a lone person walking their dog through an abandoned beach is not going to garner any attention

my workload is higher right now than it was before this catastrophe and I'm kind of annoyed about it

then again there are a lot of people still stuck going in to work for no good reason so I guess I should be grateful

i got put on the spot by my boss today about how this thing works in my project that hasn't been touched in 3 months because of blockers that just now got sorted out. I didn't remember the exact answer off hand nor could I find an immediate explanation in my notes.

i feel stupid

Just say "I haven't looked at this in 3 months, I need to go refresh my memory"

don't let your idiot boss make you feel stupid
