Covid Lockdown Activities

My throat is a little scratchy like almost a cough coming on! I have about 20 rolls of TP up for grabs when I go or should I get them cremated with me?

Quest is also doing testing, but testing is still through a doctor’s request of course and their discretion, and there is a greater delay. We are seeing three days at the fastest and a week at the longest. CDC is faster, but more restricted. The point: unlike what some people of authority have claimed, anyone and everyone can not get tested; we lack the ability to test everyone and need to ration testing.

Slam your door ASAP and steam clean yourself!

Why does this comment from you remind me of that story you’ve told about opening your hotel room door and getting sprayed in the face with insecticide or whatever it was?

There were a couple eye rollers in the chat but otherwise a remarkably professional exchange.

Maybe because the screen door was there to keep out the mosquitoes that could carry malaria. The blast of DDT knocked down the mosquitoes.

Or maybe because after I was disinfected, I had to take a long, hot, steamy shower. At least the DDT got rid of any crabs that I might have picked up.

Oh, please do. Nobody wants any virus infected TP. For cryen out loud, we are not even supposed to touch our own face, let alone wipe our asses with infected TP! -

I play music. It's better than silence.

While on lock down today, I made a casserole for our supper and took a large one down for our daughters family. It was potatoes, cubed and oven baked then added cubed chicken breast and cooked some more, then added shredded cheese, chopped onions, chopped up bacon pieces and topped off with ranch dressing.

I traded her that supper for a dozen eggs (they raise chickens) and a 6 mega roll package of TP.

I had the tv on low in the background today.

I mean I'm doing my part here and haven't wiped for a week now to not spread the virus! It comes from Chinese people's butts, right? Haven't had any butt to butt contact and I still get a cough.

I could never do it. I can't go more than 5 minutes of absolute silence. My internal monologue turns into a screaming jerry springer show of issues i can debate with myself, and the i randomly lash out at the most mundane things.

Last time i had a desk job that i could do from home, i ended up doing 4 hours for work and 12 hours a day on car projects...

The good/sad part was in those 4 hours, i accomplished more than my 3 predecessors ever did all day.

I never could either, but for other reasons. Home is where I relax, eat, sleep, and other things. Not work.

Hey, I didn't fall off the pumpkin wagon here in Puyallup -

I always end up involved anyway. I am pushing to get rid of 2 of our warehouse employees. If laying them off ment I had to work 10 extra hours a week I would take that without second thought.

One dead weight drags down way more than just what he/she fucks up.
