It sucks not to have a washer/dryer at home right now.
Hah, thatâs so awesome @anomalily ! Itâs the weirdest combination of infuriating and validating at the same time. I mean Iâve only been begging for accommodations since I was 12âŚbut nowâs good.
Also, I donât think anyone will take this away from this situation other than other people with chronic illness or disability. The second this is over itâll go back to being business as usual, complete with âI canât believe someone said that!â reactions and âhave you tried yoga?â suggestions. LOL.
I mean⌠not sure why youâre wearing clothes, youâre retired!
Bahhahahahaha, I didnât see the comment you were replying to and I was like well THATâS a saucy non-sequitur!
also⌠âhave you tried tumeric?â, âhave you tried acupuncture?â
My WILDLY OPTIMISTIC hope is suddenly weâll realize we need to make these reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities and chronic illnesses, AND in the US WEâLL realize that paid sick time is requirement, AND we will realize our health care system is a shambles.
But thatâs only when Iâm feeling optimistic.
Yuppppppp. Psychology of comfort zone
This made my day
⌠Although I do think my ratio of celebrating no pants versus other topics is pretty high
I used my new work-from-home-all-the-time mode to justify the purchase of some very comfortable âworkâ leggings (i.e. not sweaty work out leggings) I have had my eye on this morning from poshmark.
SSO is still thinking about working all weekend with his dad who is >60 (and generally doesnât think heâs at risk) on manual labor. How do I talk them both out of it?
Well I suppose thatâs one option to avoid generating laundry
Seriously where do I sign up for this country that cares about their workers? Je parle un peu le FrançaisâŚ
I am glad Iâm not at my local grocery store this evening
My university is shut down for at least the next two weeks.
oh god do i need i need to go to the grocery store crap I live 2 blocks from 3 stores.
You need to get delivery do you donât have to expose yourself. You need those lungs for double axels.
Iâll make SSO be my delivery person, I think.
Boyfriendâs IT department is overwhelmed by the amount of work it apparently is to get the entire company set up for WFH when itâs generally not allowed. So, they donât have a laptop ready for him yet. So his ass is still expected at work Or Else. SIGH. He works in downtown Chicago where there has been at least 1 confirmed case. His bosses are fucking dumb.
I start permanent (for the foreseeable future) WFH tomorrow.
Holy fuck thatâs a long line! Although people seem to have a reasonable amount of âstuffâ since the carts are small, and everyone seems calm and orderly. Thank goodness for smart phones, I guess. (Also see: stereotypical Canadian politeness. )
Oregon has 21 confirmed cases, but probably more realistically 250. if we keep expanding at current rate, weâre at a predicted 77,000 cases by late April. We banned public gatherings over 250 yesterday but didnât ~~ close schools ~~ even though thatâs a key fucking element.
Our governor today banned gatherings over 100 people.
