michsnowfreak Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 2 hours ago, Jackstraw said: I was a field service engineer for 10 years before my current job and was NEVER home, sometimes gone 2 or 3 weeks at a time. I got to travel all over the US and Canada which was great but I got so sick of living out of hotels and eating at restaurants besides being away from my wife and family for such long periods. Took my current job because it allowed me to be home and now the wife hates me lol. I work 90% from my home office, occasionally getting to go in for corporate crap or a rare customer onsite. My friends who go to a workplace say I have it made but it really is hard. When I said its not what it's cracked up to be is because working from home almost all the time requires a lot more discipline than most people realize. It's really easy to get distracted and complacent. Didn't take me long to figure that out. I built a shed away from the house that's my home office so I have some kind of "feel" like I'm going to work . I will admit, the 50 foot commute is pretty sweet lol. Oh yes, anytime I work from home I hear that from my friends and family who do not, that I have it made lol. I do understand the distracted and complacent part. As it is when I know my work from home week is coming up I plan my schedule a little lighter lol. Obviously to do it full time it would require a bit more discipline, but it's a discipline that I am ready for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's the first event where all sports are canceled until further notice in our lifetimes I believe (September 11th was similar, but just short term).

I think it is easy to think what's the big deal when we don't have hundreds or thousands of Americans dying daily from this right now. But the whole point of all these measures is to try to reduce the likelihood of that. Could argue that we should be doing even more since restrictions are not consistent across the 50 states. You see what happens overseas when some places are too slow to react... it's not some theoretical thing, there is documented data on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Walmart, Target, etc are fully out of toilet paper, paper towels, tissue, sanitizers, cleaning supplies, cleaners, water and other stuff. There has been a big run on food and medicine as well. Cold/flu medicine, eggs, butter, juices, milk, Gatorade, bread, canned food, noodles, rice, potatoes, meats, frozen foods...all have very low quantities or are out. http://i.picasion.com/pic89/c9d1dcf2d20331a73c73ead0a0f1c52d.gif . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Court systems around the state are going to a “bare bones” mode for the next 30+ days. No jury trials, minimal motions to be heard, etc. The kids are absolutely not going to be back in school until mid April at the earliest. Absolute insanity.

Winter Man Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 We are a nation, even a world, at war. But the enemy is not in a far away land, it's all around us: In our workplaces, our shops, even our homes. The only way we can win this war and avoid global catastrophe is through the way any war is won. We must do our civic duty and stay as isolated as possible. The worst days are ahead of us, as the graphic shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
