Beginning this thread!
Fighting a boss.
Planning how I am going to teach nothing but online courses the rest of the year!
Earache with bad vertigo.
I just finished watching a three and a half hour documentary on the making of Hellraiser 1 & 2. I think that might be a longer runtime that both movies.
still laughing!

Ugh, I had that before. No fun.
Right now I'm eating a bowl of cereal.
Wondering how much of a financial crunch I'll be in before I can go back to work. :bluesad:
Happily conversing with my best friend via Email.

Bob, I hope this is all over ASAP and that everyone can get back to their regular lives. Is anything been done over there to help people in your position?
Grinning at selfies an ex-colleague keeps posting on Facebook. Not the brightest person. He took selfies at work on the toilet throughout the day (and uploaded them on Instagram). He was eventually fired for constantly being on sick leave even though everybody knew he wasn't really sick, just lazy.
Listening to the radio, drinking my morning tea, and smoking a cigarette.

Yes, both movies run for a total of three hours, six minutes. :smile:
Just heard that another of my projects has been cancelled because of this $#@%^ virus.

People can apply for unemployment, but it's going to put a real strain on the system. The Federal government is also sending out some emergency checks, but those won't last people for very long.

From my experience, it can take up to 3 weeks to get your first check.
With this sh!t, I can only imagine.
Listening to my son's favorite super weird Halloween YouTube kids show. There are some WEIRD programs for kids on YouTube - there's a song and video about a Scary Smelly Fart that a ghost made and it's chasing you around to get little kids to meet their doom.. or was that the Scary Flying Shark? It's the same tune, just different lyrics. There's also a couple about a haunted fridge and haunted air conditioner.. all threatening to kill little children. The haunted fridge watches tv in the living room and presses pause to use the bathroom and when he's back he presses resume - not kidding these are the lyrics. He also tries to get in bed with you. There's another series with anthropomorphic cars that I don't think would ever fly on real television.

The school district I work in said that they'll be paying people for their scheduled hours during the school shut down.
However, as a substitute teacher I only had four days scheduled of working during the scheduled shut down. I almost always find an opening the night before or a day or two the substitute job is available. That's just the way it is.
I also have some money coming for the pay period I worked before the schools were something.
Before everything shut down I was unable to work most of last month and the start of March after getting a sinus infection and a brutal sore throat because some irresponsible parents sent their children to a classroom where I was subbing for 2 weeks when they were sick.
Binge-watching the old Robin of Sherwood TV show from the 80's.
I thought about getting everyone together and watching something Star Wars-y today but no one wanted to so the idea fizzled and I have mostly been dividing my time between coming in here and goofing around, and checking my emails, where I am getting repeatedly p**sed on by my cousin in Florida, who somehow blames me for everything from the Challenger explosion to the existence of gout. Whatevs, Slovo, whatevs...
I'm also disturbed that my waxer's office is closed for the foreseeable future. What am I supposed to do, figure out which end of a razor to use after all these years? Gott in Himmel, I married a former meterosexual, you think he'll lay a finger on me if I'm sprouting hair everywhere? Oh, this is a crisis. I need to take a deep breath and center myself. Center! I can find a way through this. And I will.
I will.
watching tv news bloopers on youtube.
It's almost 11:00 pm here and I'm not feeling tired yet. I'm still on vacation so it doesn't really matter when I'll hit the sack. I'm just done watching the first episode of The Stand (1994) on blu-ray. Can't believe it is a first time viewing for me.
It's near the end of day one of SA's lockdown: I'm sitting here hoping all my special peeps are good and well.
Painting US army jungle fighters and having a beer.
gleefully planning the things my husband WILL learn to do during his month( at least) off. like learning how to pay bills on line. and how the dusters/defuzzers actually work. :teddyr: :cheers: :bouncegiggle: :hot:
Drinking coffee. It's 5:16 a.m. here.
Trying to figure out the different names of those kinds of bullets that have those cupped shaped things on the bottom of the slugs like you typically find on .22 rimfires, & the straight bottomed kind you tend to find on larger caliber centerfire bullets......
Reason I'm curious, is because I read somewhere they had to use the former type on the early S&W .44 Schofields, but I can't find the article......

Someone eventually told me they were called "heeled" bullets.

Near the end of day 3 of lockdown: I even started washung underpants. :thumbup:
