Here it is everyone!
The new and improved General Discussion thread!
Same rules apply here: use this thread to discuss anything and everything out of character and umm....yeah, that's it.
As Brennan once put it, "Now back to your regularly scheduled curmudgeoness."

This coronavirus sucks. At first, my job wasn't affected (thank goodness) and Thursday I got told I still get paid and have to do some weird computer work at home 3 days out of the week and come to work 2 days out of the week. I was so excited. I got paid that day and I was at home because they didn't have the computer work printed out yet. I went home, clocked in on my phone, played with my little brother on the trampoline... Then I got ambitious. Now I have a broken leg. Which means plenty of hospital stays for me, considering surgery will be next week. Fun. Fun. Fun.

Yeah, the corona thing sucks. We're out of school until at least April 20th with talk of shutting it down for the year. So my bosses and the board office are opting to do distance learning in the form of packets while everyone is watching to see how bad it gets. The good news is that I'm still getting my salary.
I guess there is one good thing about being back, and that's revamping my profile. Hey @ballparkb0b, is there any way we can move my old one from the archives and I can revamp as needed?

I believe your old profile is in the Alumi thread. You could copy and paste it from there, post it and revamp it. I can do that for you if you'd like.

My guess is that your professors aren't assigning anything per say because they should've already given you a tentative schedule on their syllabus, including a reading list (that's provided they actually do their jobs properly, but that's another rant for another time). You may want to check if there's any supplemental reading you need to do so you can stay ahead.

Regarding COVID-19, I was sent home to work remote. I've never experienced something where cities and businesses were all shut down and closed. It's definitely a weird time we're in right now.
I'm fortunate to still have a job and the capacity to work from home (even though I hate it)

It's a shame Joe Bishop doesn't do social media, I think he'd have had a lot of fun with 'The gold standard of pro wrestling'.

I'm off work, paid (80% at least) for an indeterminate amount of time. I get to stay home, play video games, work out, listen to records, read, hopefully do some writing, cook, drink beer. I realise I'm very much in the minority though. Not going to let it spoil my fun however.

In October I told Mesh to tell me to f*** off if I try to do another comeback any time soon and I stand by it. I'd do a one off match with the right build, but whenever I've tried anything intended to be long term in the last few years I've never been able to prioritize it and just ended up letting people down. I'm finding Coronavirus lockdown f***ing depressing, but then I still have to work from home.

I dig the rebrand a lot, everything looks great.
The virus has not been fun. I never expected I’d be classified as an essential worker who must come in, but now I am—mostly because my employer never set up the capability to work from home and was unprepared. It’s recently changed where only have of our staff works at a time, to prevent the stupidity of having a hundred people in a room. So at least I don’t need to go in every day now.

Talked to my department chair yesterday, just called to check in on him and his family and he said he thinks we're boned till the end of the year. That said, if you're taking anything history, political, civil, or governmental course wise, I'd be honored to help.

Nope. You will always be welcome here, whether it be with Bishop or a new character

I'm working from home, which I was super into for two days until I realized every seating arrangement I have here in the long term f*cks my sciatica seven ways to Sunday. Then my kid's daycare shut down, so I have to somehow work around him with no assistance from my essential-services employed wife for three days a week.
Tomorrow I'm supposed to have my first online PT appointment which is going to suck sh*t through a straw.
Today we drove to Target to replenish our stock of food (one goes in, the other stays with the kid, because we're not assh*Les), and the guy who parked next to me came out ten minutes later with nothing but a 65" TV
F*ck that guy and anybody like him.

Yeah, someone was spending their tax money. I guess they figured they won't be going out much. But 65" is a bit overkill.

Pretty sure that guy is of the same ilk as my cousin, who has gone out quite literally every day since this thing really got started. She claims to not be "hoarding", but rather, "stocking up" so that if anyone needs anything, they can just come to her. To date, she's helped exactly nobody, but that hasn't stopped her from bragging about her 88 rolls of toilet paper. Yesterday, she just "had" to go out because her monster of a daughter was just begging for cake pops.
I'm not saying this pandemic is deserved, but I'm hard pressed to stop short of saying that it isn't warranted. The human race is a cold and monstrous thing.

When this whole thing starts clearing up, however long that will be, the absurd amounts of toilet paper people bought will be the punchline for so many jokes. Hell, most people are already starting to make them I'm sure.
