got insanely stoned and got the last of our quarantine supplies (like two months worth of cat food and liter, some toilet paper, etc). planning on spending tomorrow reading akira, tekkoninkreet, getting high, playing dreamcast and spending time with my kittens.

Just hanging out I guess. Cleaning, working out, spending time with my son. I have to go back to work on the 23rd but there are no students so I'm not sure what they want us to do. I want to buy a crossbow but the wife won't let me.

It happens to be my last week at my job. They are letting us work remotely and I don't have a lot of responsibility right now. Meanwhile, my wife is working 12+hour days as a result of the virus. So I'm going to smoke weed and play so many fuckin video games.

I'm a high school teacher and all the schools in my country (Norway) have been closed at least until Easter. We are trying to keep up education via digital platforms, but since the server capacity of those platforms was in no way intended to handled as much traffic as we're seeing now things are a bit precarious on whether or not students are actually able to reliably access the courses digitally during school hours (which is what we're hoping to maintain). It also doesn't help that I'm teaching in one of the more economically challenged areas in the country, especially when it comes to child poverty, and many students may not have reliable internet access at home (though they are all issued with computers by the school).

Kuato posted:I'm playing a lot of Star Wars Battlefront 2 and drinking a lot of alcohol. Lot of newbs on, who are likely casual gamers trying to kill time, so it's pretty sweet. Getting top 5 almost every round. And each round is like 3 hours long. "For the Republic!" I too, am a veteran pro at Star Wars Battlefront 2.

Yeah I can't help getting a little conserned when I'm out in public and somebody is noticably coughing. I never cough though so this could be the virus.

Well, classes are all going online after today, but they haven't actually closed the school. I'm not sure if it's going to be dead at work tomorrow or packed with students (and adjuncts) who don't have adequate computer access/ability to work from home.

Most colleges and universities already have an online LMS set up for various things. It should be fairly simple to shift online. All my classes are online now and things are smooth. Deadlines are extremely loose rn though.

And of course, the campus is not actually closed, so I have to go deal with this largely older subset of nontraditional students. How fun.

How fun. everyone i see who's never done an online class is pumped for this because they think theyll have less work to do. my experience is you have to put in a lot more effort because unless there's a proper lesson set up in video form, which is rare at my school, you have to do a lot more work since novody is there to tell you what's important

precision posted:Real post: Everything will be fine. I imagine a lot of people will NOT be coming into your restaurant, so less chance of catching the virus. And if business isn't busy, you can't be faulted for going to minimal staff (letting folks go take care of their personal stuff). Also, keep grandma hydrated and on vitamins (and on a healthy sleep schedule). It might not be much, but having the healthiest immune system you can is good.

A lot of our regular class work is done online, and all of our homework is, so it's not terrible. We're also keeping the lunch rooms open for kids that want to come by for meals.

I got a latte from the corner coffee shop. Takeout only. Dang good. Gonna poach a few eggs now BITCH. I have some Excel spreadsheets to tinker with but the financial markets are all hosed up so I'm kinda in a wait-and-see mode right now. Other than that my plans are as follows: - Go on a ~10 mile bike ride - Play some video games - Play with my weener.

I had a phone meeting today first thing. Then I vacuum sealed some chicken breasts while dancing to some Stevie Wonder (songs in the key of life) and Blackalicious (Blazing Arrow). Then I made a quesadilla with some leftover pork. now i'm smoking weed, have made a Quarantini, and am going to play witcher 3. might jerk off first I guess. the end.

I’m unemployed and nervously trying to keep up with hobbies. I’m going to work on learning some music software and I’ve sewn some patches on things. Luckily my supplies are ok, I know a guy who had to wipe his rear end with his hand for three days.

Resident Evil 4 holds up remarkably well and I've been having a ton of fun suplexing dudes so their heads explode. TP situation is holding up fine, I think the wife and I can survive several weeks if need be. I've got lots of trees in the backyard for leaves if needed.

Zippy the Bummer posted:If i lose access to booze i will probably die soon. might should stock up, which would be challenging since i only drink beer I just started selling online so while my jobs aren't suspended (for the moment), I'm spending my non-work time mostly at home measuring, writing descriptions, and taking photos. I've bought a lot of stuff to sell and the amount of money I've spent in the past few months is rather horrifying so I want to get that stuff up there and sold to make my money back. As a result my room (I share an apartment with two other people) is getting cleaner and more organized generally. I am also going to start (and finish, with any luck) some sewing projects I've been wanting to do. The fabric I've been eyeing for a 1930s feedsack dress was on sale for $2 a yard the other day so I bought some. Also have a lot of unfinished projects to work through. Thanks for asking!

Hanging out on goontu.be and applying for jobs with government orgs and universities who almost definitely are in the midst of a hiring freeze. Cooking lots and supporting my partner who works as court support for domestic violence victims. Shes seeing quite an uptick in cases due to all of this. All the shifts for my part time bartending gig got cut, but the theatre manager ordered tons of TP and is distributing to all of his poopy butt having employees.

Not a lot of work has been done at home. I went grocery shopping today, feeling bold since I am a healthy individual and not an old and my parents are a state away. No flour or vegetable oil to be had. Not surprising. Store was also cleaned out of chicken thighs but had plenty of chicken breasts. I am shocked and annoyed since I live in a predominantly affluent area and know for a fact that white people love their white meat.
