What Are You Doing Right Now?----The Spinoff

[RCMerchant]

Wondering how much of a financial crunch I'll be in before I can go back to work. 

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?

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.

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.

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.
