Did mine. Found that I owe a bit. Not much but it’s a drain none the less. Sigh.
You forgot one. Trump gets governors to own restarting the economy after threatening to take total control.
I’ve very hopeful right now. Reopen is actively being discussed. Today Trump mentioned possibly before the end of the month, likely in certain areas of the country.
I’m supposedly temporarily furloughed but I’m in the travel industry, specifically airlines (I do the software). That industry will likely be the last to recover. In the meantime I have three recruiters working to find me a new job.

Before the end of the month I am positive some towns will reopen across the states. People will flock to those towns to celebrate the reopening. Which might not be great. Or it might be. So in any rate good luck.

I think places that reopen will still practice the recommendations as far as distancing, gloves and masks. No matter how this happened and who it hits this virus is very contagious. After all, it was meant to be.

“I’m supposedly temporarily furloughed” ha. I am in some kinda crona limbo twilight xzone with my job. Gsido
I’m confident it’s temporary. They specifically mentioned that they would leave the company laptop with me. It’s a HP Z Book 17. About $2-3,000 new.

but I really don’t know how to decipher what I am looking at.

I have that problem too.
Cool. I get a txt from my boss every few days, we closed now. For a while. She getting pretty religious lately. The limbo stick gets lower ever new song. But I keep dancing and going lower.
Btw do you think they care about the laptop?
> Btw do you think they care about the laptop?
Oh yeah! It’s basically a server in laptop form. Crazy powerful and expensive. Plus they specifically mentioned it when they said it was temporary. It’s a good small company and they’ve never had a layoff before this. I actually report directly to the director of operations even though I’m not a manager. I’m like Rambo. :D
I’m using this time to get my lawn in order, my firewood restocked, my raised veggie beds and containers done and once that’s done to reconfigure my chicken paddocks. If I’m bored after that I’m going to redo the stockade fence in my front yard.
I have so much to do it’s ridiculous and it’ll all be done way ahead of where I’d be if I was working. I find alcohol helps too.

hey...thanx...i bin lookin 4 that
“I find alcohol helps too”
I do too. Can’t believe all the crap I wanted to get done I have. More stuff to do.
The first computer I bought in ‘89 cost about that. I financed it. Nice pc.
Think Antifa, not Blazing Saddles.
You know. The imagery was there especially with the bats and the Chinese and the railroad. Cowboys for sure.
What is an antifa?
I’m curious how much RAM that laptop has???
For an Xeon server-grade high end notebook with a 4K display you’d think they’d give you something better than a cheap chicklet keyboard.
> I’m curious how much RAM that laptop has???
24GB.

Yeah. I never use it. Here or at work it plugs into a keyboard, mouse and two 30+” monitors. I’m spoiled. Plus here at home the keyboard and mouse are on a switch shared with my digital studio computer.
