I almost always like Far Side, but rarely do I laugh out loud. Good choice.

FRIDAY! Since I’m working from home now, I don’t have to worry about travel this week. Instead, the challenge is not going stir crazy from being parked in my dining room all the time. We’re trying to get the office cleaned out so I can actually use it as an office and do a better job of separating home from work. How are things out there?

I could not *believe* last week when I saw this one, that I had somehow not seen (or at least not registered) it before. I also laughed out loud.

That is a good one for sure, if it can make nearly everyone laugh out loud

I was waffling between a reference to my son and a reference to Maximum Overdrive.

I’m in a weird place in that I’m in a manufacturing company that supplies equipment to (among others) the pharma industry, so I’m airquotes-essential. This past week and more (I rent at my parents’) has been absolutely nuts: I’ve been wildly too busy *out* at work, have a brother working from home during things, another brother home from college and doing his nut trying to pass his final semester classes, a sister working nights as a nurse, and two 67-year-old at-risk parents, one of whom just had to have dental surgery and is on chemo for cancer.

“A staycation in which things slow down, and you can catch up around the house”? Loik fook.

I’ve been likening the specter of plague in the media (IT’S COMING YOU’RE ALL GOING TO DIE) and the slow march of day to day to the classic novel On The Beach , but Maximum Overdrive is a way funnier idea.
I own it on DVD, naturally.

Is the sister staying in the same house? I certainly hope not.

My wife started a crusade here in Louisiana. In her network are a couple of LA   senators and a state rep. She got the idea that hotels should be offering health care workers free or discounted rooms. It took two days of calls and one hotel chain started offering exactly that.

There’s also that facebook group connecting RV owners with health care workers.

I’d actually consider buying a trailer to park beside the house so I could use it as an office...

It’s a classic. I need to show it to the kids.

Staying in the same house, but it’s a big house, and she’s in basically a separated apartment. We also own an RV she’d be able to make use of... but so far in western NC there isn’t a manic level of need for care - the working nights is more due to issues finding other reliable night staff than needing all hands on deck going great guns at all times.

I don’t have great circumstances for trying to work from home with no home office and my CAD machine not being fully ready to go yet, and my office machine is kind of a potato that I don’t want to try remoting in to anyway . And I have to browse parts lists to find things I need. And I have to be on hand to support two installations we’re doing. So...
