How are you handling isolation?

[two wheel tramp]

Being in essential services, I'm still going to work every day.

Yup.

I am annoyed, but mainly I am worried about my bars.

I miss mine, too.

I miss going to my yoga studio a lot. I am practicing at home on my own and joining in a class on Zoom once per week.

How am I holding up with SIP?

It might be time to move out to the garage. . . I opened my eyes at 03:00 and my wife was sitting in the bedroom chair staring at me in the dark.

:laughing

This will be ending soon and I know that every NFL, NBA, MLB game will be sold out, every concert will be full and every restaurant will have a 2 hour wait. Every kid will be happy to be back in school and parents will be even happier with a better appreciation of teachers. Everyone will love their job, the stock market will skyrocket and houses will be TP'd with the excess. We will all hug and shake hands and celebrate! That is going to be an awesome day. Hang in there.

Enjoy this time of isolation with your families. We even manage to do our weekly game night with the kids using Jackbox.tv and 3 way calling. We played for hours! it was so much fun. Get creative, use Zoom and play cups with your friends. Being in isolation doesn't mean we have to be out of contact especially with our tech now.

Soon eh! Okay lay off the booze lady.



Anyhow I am enjoying my 10-20 minute afternoon siestas.

They are working on cures and vaccines, it will be sooner than you think I want a nap too! :laughing

There's something to be said for being happy with who you're stuck with. I'm lucky to have good apocalypse buddies right now.

Getting bored just sitting around the house?

See if you can finish this puzzle by the time SiP is lifted.

Here's a time lapse video of a guy putting it together...

I don't mind being cooped up, it's not knowing when it will end that is bothering me.

 

[HappyHighwayman]

My friends who are decidedly not introverts like doing daily zoom calls. Already annoyed with those

 

[Cycle61]

Wife and oldest daughter are here. I'm WFH full time so the dog is giving me weird looks by about 10am. Meetings, engineering stuff, and conference calls all day so that's not really any different except I'm ten feet from the kitchen. Running 3-4 days a week and finding heavy things to lift in an attempt to counteract said kitchen.

I'm used to working from home, I can do this all year </captainamericavoice>

It's nice to have my partner home, too. We know how to give eachother space to we can appreciate the extra time together. They're really worried about the future of their education. If remote classes continue into the fall semester, they're going to have to seriously reconsider the value of it.

Well over half my friends work in nightlife, entertainment, arts or handwork. They're seriously worried about the future, and I'm worried for them. For me, if I can play my cards right, the situation can benefit my business. People stuck at home REALLY drives up the demand and the value for video work, especially live video.

I've been eating ice cream twice a day. One bowl before noon and another around 6pm. I'm like a goddamn addict I can't stop.

You're better than those who resort to alcohol

I’m still working but only 8 hours per day. I’m a little bummed because I had some things planned. My wife on the other hand likes to go go go. Now she’s stuck at home with our 5 year old. It’s had a mental impact on her. She needs that time while our daughter is in school to hit the gym, and do whatever she wants. It’s not tragic but it’s getting really tiresome for her. :nchantr

 

[900ss]

I'm still going to work 5 days per week as usual. i have mixed feelings; blessed and grateful that I am still earning a paycheck, nervous about my coworkers who do not take the situation seriously, and being exposed to the general population.

I used yellow tape at work to delineate my 6' exclusion zone; a few people still would saunter in, stand at my shoulder and discuss work issues.

Being polite (English), and dropping hints, proved to be an absolute failure, so I now have a yellow plastic chain across my cubicle entrance. One worker asked if the yellow tape was crime scene tape; I invited him to come in and find out. :teeth

Perhaps an M1 Garand with a fixed bayonet, which is close enough to 6 feet needs to be parked by my desk as a hint. :deadhorse

I hate alcohol, I've drank it but never craved it.
I suppose eating too much ice cream pales in comparison to what many are having to deal with. Will be super lucky if thats as bad as it gets.

My son just bought me a bayonet for my Lee Enfield. :love

 

[900ss]

:thumbup

I had a 1954 unissued Fazakerly that I sold to a good friend of mine in Montana. I didn't like the way it thumped my shoulder. It was all matching numbers, including the bayonet and scabbard.

My M1s and 8mm Mausers don't recoil the same and I still have them. If you haven't shot either of them and would like to after this pandemic is done let me know. Ammo and rifles will be my treat. (Wait, will that be legal?) :wtf

 

[tuxumino]

pissed my boss off tuesday so now I'm work from home until the 15th. I'm not tripping, I'm eligible for retirement tomorrow.

bayonet for an Enfield, what is the spirit of the bayonet, to kill. what are the two kinds of bayonet fighters, the quick and the dead.
