Mar. 16th, 2020 11:29 amliveblogging the apocalypse indeed.
Oh CW: Corona.
I find myself posting more as more and more keeps happening! As expected, this weekend I didn't do much. Saturday was devoted to deep cleaning projects I have wanted to do but just hadn't. I cleaned the nightstands and cleaned the shelves in the kitchen. Stuff gets dusty but I'm barely 5"2' so its hard for me to see/care. But i got out the ole step stool and hot damn. Also I cleaned the microwave and wow the whole thing is hella rusty. I'll need to find another free/cheap one after the apocalypse. My tea kettle is rusting too. This house is just mold and moisture. Love it here but damn.
Sunday Z asked me to come and drop off the hand sanitizer. Z got a huge ole bottle like 7 years ago and I used to make fun of him for it. But at the brewery we were heralded as kings. I stayed and had a glass. But once people started coming in I felt nervous, paranoid, and desperate to leave.
The brewery decided to close early on Sunday and not reopen to the public. They thought maybe folks would keep it low volume but it had been packed. So, the hard choice was made.
I mean, stay open and your employees, or the general population could get sick. Close, and folks dont get paid. At least the owners are still paying all the employees until they cant. But no tips means a lot less money. And not everyone has a Cool Landlord (tm) like mine.
God a week ago Mike was in a panic, and now I am, again, so grateful he told me to not ever ever worry about money. Like, land ownership is bunk, but i got really lucky. spare this one when the revolution comes.
So, the brewery closed early. Z and I are mostly staying in, although we hope to go hiking this weekend since, yanno, that is an ok thing to do when 'social distancing'.
Uh lets see, so Z works in the back. We well, obviously have less money, but with him still brewing, and they should able to continue to brew for months barring something really cataclysmic we should be poised to be okay here.
unless of course global supply chains fail.
Shane flew home last night. He had a layover in atlanta, which is real hot rn. not pumped but I love him of course and I'm happy to see him. He stayed the night but left early this morning at 5 am. what can I do? I can't really /do/ anything but re-start my quarantine meter.
Speaking of, okay a pal works at a Very Popular Tech Company here and someone in the tech company tested positive. And Z hung out with this pal on fucking Friday. So, 2 weeks re-starts from there. But then we saw shane Sunday. so, two weeks fucking again. I mean, its fine. this is necessary. and we were going to distance/isolate anyway. I think I'mma get a pull up bar for the house for grip and training? but im not doing any of my other fucking exercises. i should make a point to exercise! I've been DDRing again at least!
Anyway, uh, lets see.
Oh, i've been, like, turning off facebook and the news after work. Its been making me way too anxious. I am, obviously, still very anxious, but i'm not refreshing things constantly waiting for the next sad piece of news.
speaking of, wrestlemania is going on, but without an audience. Like, Wow. I'm glad I still remain and have wrestling, and im glad the wrestlers will be safe. but also wow. just what a weird, surreal time line we are in.
Tomorrow i get my online grocery order. Oh we ordered it like saturday nigtht and HEB was like "we can do this but not till Tuesday" which, whatever, fine by me. I just hope we get most of it successfully. HEB has been better than the fucking government, btw. Like, shit, pay those workers just a lot but they know how to run a well oiled machine and generally keep food and supplies as stocked as they can.
still, shit is spooky. and terrifying. and i STILL absolutely have to go to the vet wednesday. But i will keep safe distances, wash incessantly, not touch anyone, etc.
Oh and fucking work. The entire world is crumbling but I still am working and people are still(!!!) contacting support. and each case I get I just want to reply "The world is in chaos and youre contacting tech support over this asinine issue?" Customers are sensitive and touchy. And its just strange. But every issue the customers have been facing lately is considered "URGENT" to them which is so so weird. nothing is urgent rn except our health and keeping ourselves housed, watered, and fed.
Oh also watching stock people cry over the failing economy is kind of entertaining? yes, i know, its my retirement crashing too, but watching people who basically are rich because of bizarro monopoly money and now theyre losing it and you know. maybe its karma? remember occupy wallstreet? well, occupy from home now i guess? lol
but yeah.
what a weird, terrible, strange, world it is right now. ill be happier when things are normal again. Will things ever be normal again?
