I am so hosed. First off I am happy we are going into lockdown. It should have happened a month ago. I get the keys to my new place Wednesday. I planned on picking up all new furniture and white good Thursday night. I gave away all my old stuff to friends who really could use it back home. Now I start my first day at my new job tomorrow (It's considered essential). I either have to ask my boss on day 1 to have the day off or I end up living in a house without furniture. I only got my contract on Thursday so no one can blame me for not being ready. Just makes me feel bad to ask for something like this on my first day McSpergin posted:Where in Sydney? Toongabbie. I guess it's considered Western Sydney?

Isaac posted:What does non-essential services mean. Is westfield going to be closed or what Supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies, petrol stations, and the like will stay open. The vast majority of retailers in shopping malls will be regarded as non-essential and they'll have to close along with pubs, restaurants and cinemas. I don't know they'll do about mixed business. My local newsagent is also my local post office. You can make an argument that a post office is essential, but not a newsagent. A whole lot of smokers are going to be pissed off if tobacconists are forced to close and they have to buy their smokes from supermarkets and servos. A whole lot of alcoholics are going to be pissed off if bottle shops are forced to close.

The suuuuper fun thing is they haven't announced how long the shut down is going to be for, which is doing ~wonders~ for my anxiety.

Making your staff use that crap for 8 hours a day should be classified as cruel and unusual punishment.

I sure wish there was some way to get tested. My wife's had a severe flu with every single symptom on that list since Thursday, and there have been confirmed cases at my work, but that's still not good enough for a test. I wonder how much higher the real numbers are.

There's a bunch of idiots on Facebook celebrating the idea that a singular council has decided to block 5G from becoming a thing and are pushing for the same in the Mountains. I hope they realise that most modems these days have a 5G function and we really have better poo poo to worry about at this point in time. They're probably the same idiots who don't believe in vaccines and will be taken swiftly by the impending situation.

Tbh I'm quite concerned about income with shutdowns. I burnt through the vast majority of what savings I did have moving and furnishing an apartment of my own, and currently can't really work from home I'm sure the government isn't gonna cover my $420/week rent for an unforeseeable amount of time and I've only got the basic 15 days' general leave built up

I mean I'm 3 weeks ahead on rent so realistically I could pay another week up and have enough to early exit the lease but I'm not really sure that's a financially sound idea either tbh

Yeah the lack of info about what's going on in QLD is frustrating. The ex wife works/worked in a food shop so she's not sure if her work is still open or if she still has a job at this stage as all the businesses nearby are shuttering so customers are drying up. No idea if our schools are done as of Tuesday too or there's still two weeks to go. Without any concrete details it's hard to work out what to do tomorrow.

check out my new grindcore album, Tetanus Herd Immunity. if you can't find it, look for the album art, it's a bunch of naked people hurling themselves against a rusty barbed wire fence. it's really cool, i paid a tattoo artist twelve dollars to draw it and he mixed the album while he was at it. bargain!
