OT 18: Anti-Social Distancing

[MexicanYarisTK]

The weekend is looking

80F Saturday? I should go out for a long ride. Nice.

Speaking of bikes, I have my old bike as a kid at a storage in my grandparents house. I just need to pump/get new tires, perhaps get my chain oiled. 21 speed, hard suspension and forks, and v brakes since it's a 90's bike, but rides good last time I rode, in 2005?. Found a shop not far from me by walking distance, asked a few q's and their prices are quite a steal

Of course I didn't, which I said. reads about as good as he spells.

And she is licensed.

She gets it renewed on the reg.

It's actually our second positive and we have 3 more suspected positives that we're still waiting to hear on. We also had 2 or 3 other suspected positives a few weeks ago that came back negative.

out of 2 major city offices I dont think we have any sickness in our company.

Chalupabatman (GM ) had an employee pull the "im not safe here" and took 2/3rds pay to not come to work (generous offering imo) and ended up fucking around and catching the virus being a while not attending work for safety.

people gonna people.

We have people all over the world, mostly in Charlotte and outside of Salt Lake City. Zero cases at a 1k employee company.

We’ve had three cases in our site alone. : thisisfine:

Almost 6k people, no cases from office based spread.

I read a really interesting article about spread, probably nothing new for most who have read a lot more about it, but clearly, being in an office where you're in one space with many for many hours at a time, is very high risk.

this is why I feel like work at home should be mandated, or at the very minimum, minimize capacity of the office for those that are actually required to work in the office.

So here's what happened today. Malls are finally open solely for retail for short hours, picked up my friend and drove around the city, and Jesus the traffic is basically back to normal, almost seems like corona doesn't exist. It took me about 40 minutes just to drive for 15 miles. Kids are finally allowed to leave home and what do you know, I saw endless parents with kids, endless. I never bothered to go to the mall because I passed by a couple and holy lines! I saw atleast 50 people on the line, wearing masks and some not social distancing, so I on shopping today. It's a good thing I didn't went ahead and parked in the parking garage. Tomorrow going to stop by my grandparents and go to a mall nearby where it is rarely crowded since it's kind of outside of the city. Then going for a 2.5 drive to my aunts parents summer place to celebrate my cousins birthday whose turning 2 tomorrow. Booked my barber appointment next week, so I'm gonna settle for public transportation for it since I won't be having a car by then and I know finding a place to park in that area is gonna be hell.

Yesterday was like 80's and now dropped to 58 and windy with overcast, so my kind of weather.

we have 11k globally, so I cant speak for outside my region. I figured its a stretch to say no one out of 11k people has it.

yeah, now he banned from work meanwhile, no one at the dillershit has it and they have epic cleaning standards.

Gave my kid a haircut today, it turned out 5/7

First attempt? "Good enough for the girls we run with"
My hair is getting to be as long as I can stand it in the summer. If i gotta wait another month i might just let her buzz it.

Big hair sucks. I let my woman hack it the first time a month ago thinking if it was just enormously terrible I'd just go full Marine. She did a great job and now I'm getting my hair cut more than I did before this stuff!

I suspect we read the same one.

we have signs all over that only GM approved essentials are allowed in office. Weve had 6-10 people in a 2 floor office for 200 people. I feel pretty damn safe in an empty office.

I wish my wife would do this. I asked her and she made me do it myself. I stopped half way in.

Classic. Scared to go to work. Not scared to fuck off with your posse.

Our malls and stuff opened as well, I'm staying away but I hear they are rather busy.

Yeah that's a pretty good setup assuming you were industry standard for sq/ft beforehand.

We have folks access cards disabled if they don't have approval.

The article Griff is referring to would be defined as "fully occupied" space.

I am basically on the "least essential" list as far as needing to be in the office. It sounds like they will likely bring in more essential people first and spread them out over the entire space. We have three floors here in CLT, each with two separated, sides, normally accommodating 300+.

Interesting fact. Our state governor decided to go for phase 1 reopening on the 29th for northern VA in particular while the rest of the state will open in 2 days. https://dcist.com/story/20/05/12/northe ... orial-day/

Northern Virginia also makes up the lion’s share of COVID-19 cases in the commonwealth. Virginia has reported 1,199 new cases over the past 24 hours, and more than 700 of those are from Northern Virginia while about 270 are from the rest of Virginia, according to the governor’s statement. “On any given day, 70 percent of the Commonwealth’s positive cases are attributable to the Northern Virginia Region,” reads Northam’s statement.

Last month, Arlington County alone has tons of cases for its population, but very minimal deaths because

DC will have stay at home orders till June 8th and since I work in DC, I can't legally go back till then.

I don't like long hair. I'm not a girl or something.

Been worried about my mom since our chat on mother's day. She sounded really down/lonely from her cousin passing.

We were up in her area buying trees from our wholesale dude, and he had these little ornamental gingko biloba trees that I thought she'd like. Picked one up and dropped it off at her house with a note. She was bummed she couldn't see me (take the virus seriously especially now), but the tree helped.

What a weird time this is.

The lady I had cutting my hair for the last few years had enough with Michigan and abruptly moved to Alabama last December. My wife "always wanted to try cutting hair" so I let her do my annual cut in January. It took her a LONG time (hour or so), but it was the best damned haircut I've ever had.

She knows she has to look at it every day, so she took great care

I've noticed this about many things though. Experience is certainly valuable, but so much can be DIYed as well or better than a professional if you really care (like plumbing, auto repair, etc.).

Caring results in greater attention to detail, which can have results, for sure. It's part of why I DIY so much shit.

SOMETIMES. I just paid $4800 to paint the exterior of my house and I can assure you that I could have taken three weeks to do it and not even come close to what this dude did in 5 days. The equipment and masking skills of a professional painter (and PATIENCE, the prep work sucks balls) were worth every nickel. No drips, no runs, no errors.

It's case by case.

I touched up some areas on the C5 during my project with this 3 stage touch up spray paint. I sanded, all of it. It looks shitty. Fortunately, it's all out of site, but that is definitely an area where the experience is key.
