that's actually kind of the real annoying part of htis, it's been almost 2-months and i've barely gotten drunk/stoned, like maybce twice? i had kind of hoped it'd be a good time just to get daydrunk stoned/high and catchup on a backlog of games and ~prestige~ tv poo poo, but no i haven't really felt like it and work has been mixing up with relaxation time big time and i keep dropping the balll with work poo poo which stresses me out further. also been sleeping and waking up like poo poo.

hell i'm still doing work right now trying to get a technical memo outo

I don’t call it “dropping the ball at work” I call it “engaging in a subversive work slowdown in solidarity with labor”.

I mean, it’s almost like existing with constant pandemic trauma and being unable to reasonably plan for the future is creating a lot of situational depression which is somehow bad for productivity.

“We are facing an unemployment insurance system that is riddled with red-tape,” Suggs said.

He shares the story of one man crying to him on a call.

“A gentleman who tearfully described how he and his wife no longer have money to buy food for their four children. He shared this with me as I explained to him that after filing for six weeks and he finally got someone on the phone that he is ineligible for unemployment based on a technicality,” Suggs said. “By the end of the call, I was in tears as well.”

We can get some government paper
You know food stamps can we really do that
Hell yea, right there for the taking
gently caress welfare we say reparations
And, uh, you know the grind
Get up early get in the line and just wait
Everybody on break that's part of the game
And when they call your name
Ms. Case Worker let my state my claim
I'm homeless, jobless, times is hard, I'm 'bout hopeless
But I gotta eat regardless
No family to run to I'm 22
Now tell me what the gently caress am I supposed to do
My sad story made her feel close to me
I made her feel like it was an emergency
When I came to the crib niggaz couldn't believe
I came back with a big bag of groceries (hell yeah)

what happens at the unemployment appointment? like I assume it's over the phone, so what, am I talking with an unemployment person and my boss or something???

I'm not in Maryland but when I got assigned a UI "interview" it wasn't until well after my online application for UI was approved and I had already been paid once or twice. Eventually I got a letter stating I had an "in person appointment" (this was back in February). They picked the appointment time for me, I had no input and they didn't provide a working way of rescheduling. In a hail mary move I just showed up to the office early and the nice people let me do it right then. They took one look at my status on the site and handed me some pamplets and sent me on my way. That's because I had already correctly filled out work search history for a couple weeks, and correctly uploaded a resume to their difficult to navigate jobs program website.

Working from home is legit hard and a way different skill than working at work. Not a criticism or anything, just something that a lot of people don't really seem to get until they have to do it.

I've been going loving insane since both of my big clients sent all of their employees home. I used to have fairly minimal interaction with people and actually get poo poo done, now I spend all morning in totally pointless Zoom meanings for some goddamn reason and have to deal with people submitting work at weird hours all day long.

edit- if anyone's job is making you do more than one teleconferencing meeting per day and you aren't doing, like, actual collaborative work during that meeting then loving yell at them because they're probably responsible for utterly destroying whatever semblance of work/life balance you have

The only reason you should be having more than one Zoom meeting with work a day is if you’re trying to get the choreography down for an uplifting viral video.

My girlfriend's school has her in like 3-4 meetings per day, sometimes literally extending beyond her normal working hours. And then she's expected to do actual work on top of that. It's infuriating.

Yes, take your hand, the most likely vector to get you sick, and stick it directly under your mask so you can hotbox COVID.

This is exactly why most people wearing N95s are just as much at risk as people wearing bandanas.

Thank you to all 212 people that guessed. I will put everything up tomorrow with an analysis that will make Schnorkles proud.

Someone guessed 100 million but I didn't put their name down for some reason so a mystery person will probably win. Data entry is hard.
