We sat on our patio for the first time ever tonight. Made me feel very #adult. Not a big yard, but it’s pretty good for Metro Vancouver!

New job’s going well. I mentioned before I was supposed to fly all over Western Canada promoting my new department. While that didn’t happen, I have already had a couple denials reversed .

DISCUSSION (26)

Kinda depressed actually. But I like your trees.

Going pretty well.

I’ve worked about 30 hours since Saturday because I’m engrossed by the project I’m tackling and want to make sure it gets to the point where my co-workers will consider it worth continuing; too often I’ll get a project started, it’ll look promising, but ultimately it’s too far from completion and judged not worth the effort.

So this time I’m just working round the clock before anyone notices I’m doing it.

I did get to enjoy a nice walk today, almost 70° for the first time in a while. Usually this time of year I’d be anxiously waiting for the day I can finally take the Jeep’s top off indefinitely. Not a usual year, obviously.

Not bad, all things considered. I went in to the office today to check the mail and drop off a laptop that I configured for someone. Of course I was the only one there so distancing was maintained. She’ll come in sometime this week and pick it up. Some parents are asking to go in so they can get some work done in peace but only one at a time is allowed.

At work. Snowstorm is over, but all the snow is blowing around. It's a paperwork kind of night.

I am in Datsun deficit at the moment due to recent snow but maybe take the car out tomorrow for some necessary things...

Also helping my dad pick out some new wheels and tires for his 1971 Datsun 240Z. Looking at: these wheels and these tires.

Kinja'd!!!

I’m already about as drunk as I’ve been in a month, so good!

No job, but working on some things.

Glad to hear you're working on things. It took me 11 weeks, hopefully you find something soon

It’s strange. My wife and kids are on stay-at-home orders and I’m still out doing “essential” construction work. I feel like I’m cheating the system and possibly more exposure for myself and then family. I am sort of glad I’m still working... but if someone in our company gets covid, I’m sure it’ll spread pretty quick.

I'm actually still going to my office. I'm an essential insurance man apparently

Trying to stay sane. Work is busy but hampered by working from home. Slow networks and lack of communication with staff. Mrs. SB is on the front line of trying to get the economy restored so she’s stressed. At least the weather was nice today. Good to get outside and take a breather

Personally ok. Work is way behind scheduale and I’ m on 1/4 speed working from home.

Trying to decide if I want to do one last costco run. I have 3 weeks of groceries, but do I want to run those down, but I’m out of milk and eggs. I did not plan those well.

Glad the job is going well. I r eally hope everyone here makes it through these tough times without any major issues.

I c an’t complain, I’m in a fairly good place to weather any economic turmoil. Have been feeling sick lately, definitely fighting off some kind of infection : /

Living room is approaching peak levels of man cave. Just need some posters...

I’m essentially going to get sick. Probably not very sick, but it is inevitable .

Going to bet the farm on black and see what it gets me in the mean time!

I switched jobs just as Corona entered Holland. I'm having my introfuction through Teams and my colleagues are trying to get me up to speed through online meetings and stuff. We're considered an essential workforce, so it's normal working hours for me.

Still working. Released early from psych due to being an essential employee. Distressed mos of the time. Not allowed certain things. My gender transition is moving forward, again, albeit slowly. And wife and I are discussing moving overseas (New Zealand, France, Germany, Portugal) or north to Canada. Once the MIL passes, she wants to move out of the U. S.

Things have been not great lately. Hoping they turn around soon.

We can figure out how to run an entire school remotely, but insurance agents have to be in an office building to use a computer? That makes sense.

I absolutely can work remotely, but for claims you do need to have field presence.

That makes sense. Be very careful. One person traveling around to different people is a recipe for disaster right now.

I am, luckily it’s mostly outdoors. My wife as a victim Service worker is only meeting people outdoors too.

Luckily it's pretty temperate up here.
