Nope, you have herpes :awe:I didn't get Coronavirus. So another victorious day for me.![]()
Being bad-tempered and pessimistic helps you to earn more, live longer and enjoy a healthier marriage. It’s almost enough to put a smile on the dourest of faces.
And still driving 10 under...My car is still in the shop so I traded in the rental car for a different one as a different rental company had lower prices this week. I got bumped to a Challenger. Vrooom, vrooom.
Pretty much. It's the base model with the 3.6l engine and no turbo. It looks cool but my wagon has more pick up.And still driving 10 under...
Didn't read the article, but it's true. George Costanza proved it; act pissed off all the time and everyone will think you're constantly busy at work and important.Shit's going my way for a change...

Not to be dismissive of the severity of the impact of the coronavirus, but as an introvert, life hasn't really changed for me with all the lockdowns lol. Note that being an introvert doesn't mean being anti-social, just that I have a social battery, and when it runs out, I'd rather be at home, on my couch, under my weighted blanket, chilling with some food & TV shows...so I'm pretty much still doing what I do anyway, haha!Dropped off my taxes to get done, which involved going outside.
Marked safe from coronavirus.
Once upon a time, a co-worker walked past me at around 8:00am in the morning with a big slice of birthday cake that someone had brought in. I called him out on it, because who eats cake first thing in the morning? He looked at me, looked at my donut, then back at me, and said "You're eating deep-fried cake and I'm just eating regular cake, so mine is healthier".I just realized that muffins are cupcakes without icing.![]()
On a tangent, I recently discovered the joy of grilled muffins. You basically slice them in half vertically & then fry them up in some butter, sort of like grilled cheese, so that it gets a bit of a crispy side. Off. The. HOOK!I just realized that muffins are cupcakes without icing.![]()

Also on the plus side with the lockdowns, many of my customers are no longer accepting on-site workers (and some are actually temperature-testing you before allowing you to enter the building), so instead of my usual ~70 hours a week driving all over the place, I actually have some time to work on projects at home! Silver lining among a grim situation, I guess.
It's just the news websites going overboard - note that I absolutely think we should take it extremely seriously, but sites like CNN keep pushing the "YOU NEED TO PANIC!!!" button. Yeah, we need to hunker down for a few weeks or a few months possibly, but not so much to stop the spread, because most of us are going to get it, as much as to minimize impact on the healthcare systems & to limit the exposure to people with weak immune systems, because we don't want a repeat of Italy. They had over 350 die from it just in one day, just awful:Funny I keep hearing about how much Americans lives are about to change but I'm either at work or at home like 95% of the time anyway?
That's totally how I feel too. Pretty much nothing has really affected me with this whole thing and as bad as it sounds I actually find it oddly interesting to see unfold, just never seen anything like this before where so much stuff gets cancelled etc. It almost feels like a movie. I normally don't go to any large social gatherings anyway and been trying to avoid going out as much as I can and being more diligent when I do. Oddly enough I have gone to the groceries more than I normally do lately even though I was actually trying to avoid going out more. But it's mostly because I figure I would keep myself stocked while I still can. But now I'm really good for a while so don't need to go anymore.Not to be dismissive of the severity of the impact of the coronavirus, but as an introvert, life hasn't really changed for me with all the lockdowns lol.

Ain't that a damned fact.With tree pollen being sky-high in the south now,
Yeah the work from home is the only thing that's changed for me. Although I think my gym will close anytime so that'll be a change too.

Unless your coworkers ....you know.I'm at work and I have to poop now. That means I don't need to use up home toilet paper!
My friend is a nurse & said they've had massive theft of everything...hand sanitizer, liquid soap, paper towels, etc.Unless your coworkers ....you know.
