My office has insisted for years that work from home is impossible. Now they're saying it may be possible but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Same here. Now though I think this might give people a glimpse into how life might look if more people worked remotely. Not sure how that would affect people in your neck of the woods but if I didn't have to sit in 2 1/2 hours of traffic every day might life would improve considerably.

My commute is about 15-20 minutes and I have a three monitor setup at work that will not be cheap to replicate at home, so it probably isn't in my interest to telecommute under normal circumstances. That said, being able to watch Netflix while working is enticing.

If we do decide working from home is the way to be, you'll see a commercial real estate apocalypse that will sink countless companies and REITs.

Psssh, we hipsters only support indie coffee places in Silver Lake. We're so not into corporations despite trying to sell our screenplays to corporations. Get it right, bro.

The fans are all aware and we are dragging him for it.
Unacceptable.

Deexan, do you ever come here NOT drunk anymore? Don't be ridiculous. That's what Sober Tuesdays are for.

I know I'm not the only one, but I'm so stressed out right now.

Time could be spent doing video essays I did write a new script and recorded it in my building before it locked down. Haven't done much gaming at all, but that will change Friday.

I've been replaying Red Dead. But I'm getting to the desert island slave chapter and...fuck that. So I'm probably going to put that down soon.

Yeah, TSN (the Canadian equivalent) was playing an Oilers-Pengiuns game from the 80s the other night.

I'm afraid my wife is going to get us sick. She can't stand to be stuck at home, and really has a hard time dealing with our daughter by herself (though we're both here). She normally subs for a school district, but can't do that at the moment (it was Spring Break last week, anyway), but she works a second job at fast food. She picked up some extra hours today to supplement her pay, but she also flat out told me she needed to escape.

I'm tired of feeling this anxious everyday. They want me to come back to work on April 1st (unless there are more extensive lockdowns, I suppose,) but I'm nervous about going back. I work for the public library system, so we have a lot of people coming in and out everyday, and I'm pretty sure that there has been no deep cleaning done since I've been gone. Hell, some of my co-workers, including one of my supervisors explicitly said that this is no big deal, and that its just "another flu," so I'm afraid they're not taking it seriously. We're not opening back up to the public anytime soon, so I'm not sure exactly why I need to be there. But, being the new guy, I'm afraid to say anything, because normally, its a good job, with good pay, and I don't want to sound like I'm trying to get out of work.
