i am largely purposely avoiding this thread because it's not something i can joke about. my sister in law and her kids all have it, and i'm worried a lot about them. i'm worried my mom is going to get it and she is in chemo for cancer. i'm worried i'm going to get it and i'm immunocompromised and somehow "essential" when my job is printing things and staring into space and thinking about soap flavors vs soap scents. it's ridiculous. i'm living in a hellscape.

Robot Made of Meat posted:Most mortgage companies know that foreclosing on a million homes is not in their best interest. (interest! It's funny!) There will be programs in place to delay payments, and assistance to help with them. I know this isn't perfect, but it's not as bad as it could be. The only bright spot is that my cough is likely from anxiety and asthma complications right now (my nebulizer died and I have to wait until the 2ns for the new one to get here). |

My job could be entirely done from home. Entirely. That's the part that pisses me off so much. They're making me risk not just my life but other people's lives so I can email people about soap. |

This isn't to say that I think people shouldn't seek help but for real I'm not sure what they could possibly advise me on that I'm not already doing! call the ding dang number you nub

Manifisto posted:thanks for mentioning this. I did hear about this a while back and thought it sounded potentially very promising but what with new stuff cropping up on a daily basis it was driven right out of my mind. great to hear an update on it. South Korea has one running as well! I'm heartened by this. |

kuskus posted:Chicago's mayor was riding around in a squad car in my neighborhood yelling at people who were out running to "go home." I think it's a PR stunt because we are allowed to be outside for exercise while social distancing... but I absolutely understand the sentiment and how critical it is that we all do our part. A fellow beekeeper! HP and I both keep bees; I'm doing it for honey and wax for candle and balm making. What are you going to do with your wax, candles? |

kuskus posted:I've gotten pretty good at sculpting in VR, 3d printing that, turning that into candles or chocolate with vacuum forming or pourable silicone, so I can make some functional pieces w/ beezwax. I suppose candles but I can also make busts of local heroes or individuals upon requests. That said I am still rearing brood so I don't want to put my corncob-shaped facial accessories before the horse!! Before I self-isolated, knowing the bees would be installed without me, I made my mom 8 gallons of syrup, some medicated, got top feeders sorted, made 50 protein patties and grease patties, gave them beetle traps, etc. So they are pretty well set w/o me but I DO want to be there and live for every photo sent to me. We have A LOT of clover, violets, catmint, goldenrod and all manner of vegetable flora in my little acreage. There's a lot of fruit trees too--really looking forward to the peach blossom honey from the orchard this year. |

I'm real close to losing my poo poo at work because both bosses are "working from home" meaning micromanaging my email, I'm here with two twenty year old kids and I've got an entire series of fuckups from one of our manufacturing partners that is making it hard to do business. Oh and customers screaming at me because of those fuckups because the vendor isn't going to be the one to call the customer. I wanna go home. |
