Adaptation to COVID world

As I mentioned, I’m an employment lawyer. Based upon the million questions that I’ve been fielding, it is going to get really ugly out there in terms of layoffs. State governments are pushing through assistance programs for people laid off and the new law from Congress does provide both paid emergency sick leave and paid FMLA, including child care if your kid is out of school.

 

WeWork - I think trying to be "revolutionary" was what killed it. Having an a-hole running it as well. Suprised it even got into the VC for a pitch meeting.

 

Same here, man. (Minus the phone interviews)

 

Guess that makes his daughter Kernel Sanders.

 

My brother is convinced Mike Huckabee is a performance actor designed by liberals to make southern conservatives look like trash.

 

My wife works a graveyard shift (starting at midnight or 3 a.m.) at her store. I asked her if there is any extra cleaning going on. "No,'' she said. Maybe they're doing it from 9 p.m.-midnight, when nobody is there.

The good news: 90 percent of her shift is before customers arrive.
The bad news: She stays and works off the clock with customers there.

 

Tonight my son is proposing to his girlfriend. They've lived together for over a year, and have begun wedding planning, so an acceptance is expected. He was going to have a surprise party of their friends after he proposed at some romantic spot, which are plentiful in New York City, to celebrate the occasion but of course both of those are out now. So he'll propose in their Brooklyn apartment. He was bummed about the party but then came up with the idea of having the guests (and his parents!) video congratulatory toasts on their phones and email them to him to create a virtual party for her.

 

I can't even imagine how tough it is for families who suffer the loss of a loved one during this - COVID related or not. One of the things that really helps the bereavment process is being able to focus on pulling together services, gives you something to do, mourning with friends and family at services, some you haven't seen for a while really does provide a bright spot in a sad time. With most services postponed due to the ban on gatherings and older folks especially warned off them - I can't even imagine.

 

Stay safe, Mrs. BTE

Slainte to Gee fils! Enjoy the gathering even if it is virtual due to the plague.

 

It’ll change everything for a long time. First, the sheer sorrow from all the people we lose, and there will be many. Next, the economic fallout. Worst, the fear and uncertainty of this new age. All the negative energy that has been generated our culture and our social media for years and years and years...will now have a kind of justification. It’s going to leave many of us hollowed out and hopeless. I pray my church and any church - or whatever people turn to - is strong.
