Tortuga posted:I'm never going in a Spoons again unless I'm too drunk to stop myself. Never been in a Sports Direct before but the same rule applies. I go in Spoons to use their bogs because it's nicer than the public bog down the road. I can't recall ever spending any dosh in a Spoons since 2004 which was next to my uni, and was a post-viva drink. I did a playlist of Siege and Barricade songs on FB but my friends tend to ignore my musical offerings - I can't think why. Anyway, here's a nice tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qk39CcM7Qw e: Page snipe 199. Hansard vol 199 col 199 Coal Trade Dispute - Baldwin was PM, Churchill was Chancellor. Col or para 199 (haven't quite figured it out!) Lloyd George speaking: quote:Let us see what the position is now. The struggle has already exceeded the limit of all previous struggles. We have had a struggle of 11 weeks and a struggle of 13 weeks, but this struggle has lasted more than four months. You are now in the fifth month, and although I know there are hopes of an immediate collapse I fear that that is not going to be the end of this struggle. The miners are good fighters. No one knows that better than those who had something to do with the conduct of the War. They fought well for their country, and they will fight for their class. They are not men who can be terrorised or who can be driven back, even by the threat of starvation, until there is a feeling that a real effort is being made to understand their grievances and to do the best within the power of the Government to meet them. I do not mean to say to concede all their 199 Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Mar 24, 2020 |

I'm suddenly swamped by weariness. At least tomorrow's shift is entirely earmarked for assembling blister packs. I can sit upstairs with a mask on and listen to podcasts all day and not have to see patients. Perfect. Part of me kind of enjoys being free to be bossy and tell people what to do but it's wearing me down pretty bad.

I'm a little sad I won't get to have post-viva celebrations with my partner and friends, we'd planned to have a nice little holiday back to Glasgow for a week around that time to catch up with people and relax, but well lol. Guess a bottle of wine in quarantine will have to do, but assuming I make it through this I'm definitely setting aside a day to have a delayed blowout.

Presumably "emergency work" is repairs/replacement glasses? Breaking my glasses right now would be that Twilight Zone episode (well not really, I've got a spare set but they're a prescription old and give me eyestrain, or a pair of sunglasses). But like the amount of putting stuff on your face while someone leans in really close involved in testing, let alone the walls of display model frames that only exist to be put on as may different faces as possible, its madness they didn't close down weeks ago. Apparently they were using ppe and masks for testing, i didn't ask if they were sterilising the equipment tho. The one I used to work at was run by psycho accountants that decided things like adequate ventillation and grinding wheels that could actually cut lenses were things we could do without so lol I doubt it.

It looks like you can basically blag it by saying whatever you're doing is important and then the cops can in turn blag you by I hope that the mere fact they're finally saying "No this is actually a legal thing not just airy advice" will by itself suffice to keep a chunk of people home but  whomst tf can say.

Dog Pipes posted:Call centre staff for motor and home insurers also. I work for a big insurer, investing fraud. I'm isolating until the 31st anyway but if by that point we're recording deaths in the hundreds every day, I'll hand in my cards before going back to an air conditioned office with 200 people per floor. I can get another job but not another set of lungs. I find it very eery that someone with such a similar user name and avatar does a job that is connected to my own.

Tortuga posted:Wow, actually hadn't seen this (shows how much I give a poo poo about my job). We handle PPI complaints - which is obviously something completely non imperative at the moment but I suppose could fall under any number of those descriptions. I do PPI complaints at a bank too, so far we've just been told we still have to come in, but we've moved where you sit a bit further apart. Whilst the majority of other workers in our building can work from home. Absolutely ridiculous.

I think they're also going click & collect, so you can go into their shops but literally just to pick up an order, which seems... better? Where I work couldn't feasibly do that I don't think, I'm hoping they'll realise they'd be losing money if they reopen. Obviously my concern is more, like, my own safety, plus the safety of construction sites remaining open, but they're only gonna think in terms of cash

https://assets.publishing.service.g...e_-_finalVF.pdf Here's the official list of businesses allowed to remain open. It seems rather open-ended. In particular, I'm struggling to name a retail shop that couldn't creatively interpret the guidance to try staying open.

I get they're an F1 engineering firm and would probably come up with some great respirators, but no way could they produce them in the quantities that are needed or make any real difference.

Weasling Weasel posted:Good news my friend. Can I ask what all your symptoms were and how severe. I still feel snotty and a little achy, but it could as well of been a mean cold that Ive had this last week. It’s not like anything you will ever have experienced, everyone is different but for me things came on in waves and it was a new and exiting experience daily. Hindsight started with dry eyes and a high temperature, then being dizzy (which came and went for 11 days), lost my ability to taste sweet things and was absolutely knackered all the time. Occasionally my muscles aches through my bones. Couple of times it felt like I’d had a caffeine OD (I don’t drink anything with caffeine in it) as well.

CancerCakes posted:Plenty of idiots will say that he did well under the circumstances, how could he have known how bad things would get, ignoring the fact that Spain and Italy exist Things people will say when this is all over: "Oh but Boris only did a lockdown because the PUBLIC couldn't follow the guidance" (ignoring that the guidance was ridiculously vague, had no penalty, people have been telling them that unless you're an old you're not at risk) (and then the lockdown itself is full of loopholes and can be get around by anyone who's not a moron, and there's nowhere near enough police to enforce it, and there's nowhere near enough army to support them). He's doing just enough to keep the public on his side. Tories will come out of this with a much bigger support (particularly when things like UBI and nationalisation are proven to work well). On the plus side, my former workplace (insurance company) has FINALLY told people not to come in. My brother is the IT Risk Manager there, can do all of his work from home, and was expressly told he had to be in every day. They've been rolling out laptops but nowhere near quick enough. Hopefully that'll protect him and my friends.
