I take the drools as a stamp of approval. LoLTator chips cause I was to lazy to dirty up anymore pots and dishes
Good morning lurkers 
Eeeep. Too. Early.
Potato chips totally work, Joey
I wouldn’t have wanted any extra dishes either. Lol.
I’m glad you don’t have to go in and can work from home, Lori I don’t think enough people are taking this seriously. More so my co workers who are using this time to their advantage for non emergent home improvements because they are bored and need to get out. Broken families with shared custody that aren’t forcing their kids to stay put. That’s my major concern. We are fortunate enough to still be closed to the public and working with mail (a lot of mail from what we were working with last Wed) NYC has “flattened their curve” while the rest of NY who had limited testing keep increasing their numbers.
While I am starting to believe there is some shady stuff going on (not normally a tin foil hat wearer) this too shall pass....eventually 
They are sending a guy/girl out today to open the pool
I feel bad for him/her because I can’t imagine it being a one person job, but that is all they can send.
Hope you all have a good day!

At work? Not really. I ran home on lunch to use the bathroom and get something to drink because I won’t take my gloves/mask off at work. Try to stick to my workspace as much as possible. The few I’m working with won’t wear masks, chit chatting away, complaining. And it was clarified...we are there until the end of the day.Got enough room?
Hope you’re having a good day!
Good afternoon Dale, Sara and Lurkers
Not looking forward to working right now. Really wish I could stay home
Stay safe everyone

‘Well darn, that’s not good
Hi JoeyGood afternoon Dale, Sara and Lurkers

Stay safe everyone
Sorry
Wish you could too.
We are in the same boat being forced to work with other people that are not taking this virus seriously enough!!! I feel for anyone who is in this boat because we all need our job to survive. First responders, all health care workers, all grocery workers. Also the people who have lost their job because it was considered non essential!!!Hahaha spent 7 minutes going out to my truck and sanitizing. That leaves me 8 to vape and check in on you guys.
I’m sorry Joey. It sucks and I know you have it worse than me.
Sara stay safe out there!!!
Made it home. My legs hurt something fierce. I refused to sit on someone else’s chair and didn’t feel like dealing with close encounters to get mine. My workstation is sandwiched between 2 girls working the same schedule as me, so I have to move to a different space. I’m ok with it. Less people near me. I might go in a little early on Wednesday and get my belongings.
I feel like had everyone followed orders way back in the beginning we might not be where we are today.
We had blt’s for dinner. That is a surefire way to turn a frown into a smile. Cocktail doesn’t hurt either.
You stay safe also, Joey. Worry about ya!

Hope you’re relaxing with a big drinkOh and thanks for the hug Dale.
Bet you are sore!
I had a couple .Hope you’re relaxing with a big drink
Bet you are sore!
but they were white claws. Hard seltzer so guilt free and well deserved. I’m gonna hit the hay early and hope for a better nights sleep. Got a nice list started of things to get done tomorrow.
Sweet dreams Dale and lurkers
I need some big drinks myself about now!!!! Maybe 420 time also 
Good morning all.
Thanks for the well wishes for co-workers, and the well wishes in general, and I wish the same for you all as well.
These are the strangest and definitely the most trying times, no question.
I think folks have given up on the stay at home orders around here.
When I was traveling to and from work yesterday, traffic was close to normal.
I hadn't left the house, prior to yesterday, since last Wednesday, so maybe it had started earlier, but most definitely more traffic than I had been seeing.
All the usual parking lots jam packed, as were drive through lines.
I was at work about 3 hours, then worked from home the rest of the day.
It was a zoo at work.
Spring always is, and we have less people working than ever before.
Morale is low, 2/3 of those calling are very understanding of the wait time, and our limitations, 1/3 are pretty much rude and out of patience.
When I left, the phones were ringing, and the office manager was working on balancing Friday and Saturday drawers and invoices.
Sad thing is, I'm past the point of caring anymore, that's not my normal work ethic, and I feel horrible, but that's where I'm at.
I've been in her position, working alone during the spring rush, and I survived it.
I can't do that and keep up my work as well, and I'm not going to work the 50-60 hours it would take to do it all. Been there, done that.
Chicago area is still bad, I think the numbers there might be leveling off, but the numbers there are bad, in my opinion, but I guess any sort of slowing down is a good sign.
Downstate is behind everywhere else, by a few weeks, they just keep creeping up.
Downstate hospitals don't have anywhere near the patient capacity as larger cities, it won't take much to overwhelm them.
I just hate all of this, there aren't any good answers.
Open, or stay closed... guess a few states are jumping on reopening.
We'll see how it plays out for them I suppose.
My heart breaks for all the front line workers too.
God bless them for their sacrifices.
I can't even imagine what they're going through...I just can't.
I do believe we will eventually get through this, I hope there is enough American spirit left in us all to adapt and weather this massive storm.
I also pray that when we, as a nation, emerge to the other side of this that everyone has a different, better...come together attitude, but... politically, I sure don't see it happening yet, and we'll all be the ones that suffer for it.
.... anyway, sorry for the volume.
Chin up, we'll get to the other side of this...it just won't be tomorrow.

Getting to and from work is a pure joy as well. LoL.
If you zoom in, you'll see there is barely a lane to get to the road.
You have to drive around "road closed" barricades to get to where I work.
Down the street, to the right of this picture, huge road construction equipment, concrete trucks and all the worker bees, moving forward with the village's beautification project... seems this money might have been reserved for something more pressing in the days ahead, but they didn't ask me.
Customers coming for curbside only transactions have to deal with this as well.
The other entrance has all the big equipment, this is the GOOD entrance.
... and yes, coming in or out, you have to get out and swing open the gate.
I got lucky and didn't have to move, or wait for a rush of customers.
When some have opened the gate to go in or out, customers just drive on in. LoL
Some, when they call in, say...do y'all know your gates are locked?
