Amen...same situation except with three daughters instead of one...lol! Thank goodness for Gigabit internet and Netflix, but they still get restless. Nothing like being on a business call with a child yelling "That's my crayon!" in the background. And thanks to the grocery stores, PB&J with chips for lunch is getting old fast. But one of my twins found a cure, so, we are good...lol!Working from home is pretty normal for me. I usually only do 3 or 4 days in the office, and 1 or 2 remote.
Now, trying to work from home with my wife also trying to work from home, and our 5 year old daughter home all day since schools and daycares are closed down... That's a whole other story. It's enough to make me want to rip my hair out.
Does that mean you can ship us all wine?Oregon res here.
Not on a mandatory work at home yet but will be by Monday I am sure. I work with wine so no shortage of booze here.
I do love how my friends all laughed when I came back from East Asia a over a year ago and immediately bought a Bidet... who's laughing now B!
I scored a killer deal on a used/broken fully-loaded Herman Miller Aeron task chair fixed it very cheaply. I ended up with a $1,000 chair for about $120 all-in, and it's miles better than what I've got at work. But they won't let me bring it in!! They're weird about things like this.But the "desk" it's all on is pathetic and my chair is not great. I don't want to spend any more on that stuff. So, it's poor lumbar support for me.
My company went to half-staff. The other tech is full time and I'm part time, so he is working the majority. I'm working next Friday only at this point.
Sucks for me, but my wife is in healthcare and she's SUPER busy. Downside is every time she feels an ache or scratchy throat she thinks it's CORONA. So she's keeping her distance, no Christmas baby for us LOL.
Kids are home, the school handed out packets to get through the next couple weeks. They have about 5 pages a day each. Only until April 6 but teachers think they won't be coming back, we'll see.
I'm lucky I got the car fixed before the apocalypse. I'd like to tear into the Jeep and do a few projects I've been piling parts for. But the kids are keeping me busy...
Update: So I just found out I know somebody who has it. It's my brothers, friends, older brother... He lives in Seattle I believe. He made a huge post on facebook about it. First of all, stating to please do not call or text him until you read the post. He said the amount of calls and texts he had been getting was worse than the actual illness. He's in his 40's, said that he thought he was just sick until he started noticing shortness of breath. After discussing everything with his doctor, and since he had been traveling he got tested. He wasn't experiencing a high fever either. He said he's all good and just doing everything he can to be healthy. Said that they advised him not to go to the ER unless the shortness of breath had started to make him blue in the face/got a lot worse.
