According to the news media the stay at home order for where my office is has been extended by 1 month. They will visit this again closer to mid-May and that is when the next update is expected. Meanwhile the office does remain closed for the foreseeable due to a possible positive COVID case. The stay at home order for where I live is set to expire at the end of the month and I expect an extension on that but figure that they won’t announce anything until next week.
While I still hear a shocking number of deaths and new cases, the word is that things are starting to slow down and we are flattening the curve. Rather than flatten it, I would rather we squash it. This is a very interesting time to be alive and I am sure that we will all learn new information in the days ahead just as we have in days past.
Many bank websites crashed yesterday because everyone was checking on their stimulus money. My bank was affected but the site wasn’t totally down but it wasn’t until the end of the day that things were back to a normal functioning state. I also heard horror stories of people that were deceased have also received money. That kind of made me shutter, I checked the bank account that I still have with my late spouse’s name on it and nope he got nothing. I am very glad. People are asking now if they have to give the money back and the IRS is not prepared to answer those questions. A letter is supposed to accompany all payments regardless if they were direct deposit or not. In the letter it will give instructions for what to do if you have questions. The appalling part is that I heard the presses had to stop for people that are getting physical checks because the jack ass that is running our country wants his name on the check. You have to be kidding me. Never in the history of the country did a president’s name appear on a treasury check. Leave it to this joker to fuck things up and delay money that most Americans desperately need because he has an ego. Just another shining example of why he needs to be voted out of office and I do hope that happens regardless of where we are in dealing with this pandemic. Although I am sure some how he will manage to fuck with the election as well. Things that I never thought were possible have happened and I revert back to my reaction when I found out he won the election. My response was “Were fucked” and yep that has held true.
In other news my pen that was supposed to be delivered on Tuesday is now set for delivery on Saturday thanks to the USPS. I am watching the tracking and when I find out it’s been delivered; I will be making a mad dash to the post office. I am more excited and eager to get the keyboard but that right now is slated for delivery on Tuesday.
I was able to get my hands on a copy of a porn film that was recently released and has some of my favorite guys in it. I began watching it and of course that is when all hell breaks loose at work. Then things calm down and I get back into it and damn if something else didn’t go sideways and then my boss called. Thank God I have a large dedicated mute button on my Bose speakers. I just tap it and viola; all computer sound is muted. Then I was able to answer the phone and stop the movie. I guess that’s what I get for trying to have some fun.
Not much else is going on here, it’s business as usual. I am hoping for a quiet afternoon so that I can break away early and get in some extra time with the cats. A nap actually sounds really good but I don’t know that I will get the luxury of indulging in that. Got a Burrito from the grocery store to have for supper and I will probably have some ice cream afterwards as the hours tick by until it’s time for bed.
Last night my face was bothering me so I went into trim things up and wound up shaving it all off but what stubble the trimmer couldn’t get. I then took it a step further and trimmed the back of my head. Yeah that is never a good idea but I did it anyway. I do look funny but I am only out on the weekends and hey it’s all going to grow back. In fact, I think when thing whole thing is over with, I will need a haircut. I know hairdressers will be super busy and I can imagine there will be a long waiting line. Sort of like trying to get paper products now. I looked at Amazon and Sam’s no one has any decent paper towels and I am getting low. I’ll grab something from the grocery store to tide me over.
Well off to see what the rest of the afternoon brings. I hope that all is well in your neck of the woods. Thanks for your visit today. Talk with you all again soon.
