JeremoudCorbynejad posted:I cannot wait for my office to close so i can piss about at home for weeks on end I've just had two weeks off work, and I'll be off in three weeks after surgery. If they close our Manchester office I could be looking at the better part of two months away from the office.

There's an old WW1 fort built into the hillside down in Portsmouth, called Fort Widley. It gets rented out for larp events and such, and it is so goddamn cool; it's full of dark, cold tunnels and while it has a relatively level rear access, the main way in is a terrifyingly steep spiral staircase deep into the earth. That's my fort story.

Next Friday is my hernia operation, and I am praying that the virus hold its loving horses until then. It could be a more serious condition to have, but I'd at least like to not have to deal with it while suffering from coronavirus as well.

Oh come the gently caress on, they HAVE to do something soon, if the entire loving cabinet is likely to be infected. This is beyond incompetence. This is a total inability to act in their own self interest in even the most basic and primal sense. It's an animal watching in interest as a predator starts tearing off its leg because maybe things will work out of it doesn't do anything.

Lol, I'm never going to be back in the office at this rate. I've been off with a mild chest infection this week (gone now, doesn't seem to be coronavirus, I got off REAL loving light if it was) and I have at least a week or two out of the office next Friday for surgery on my hernia (assuming I can still have it by then).

Thanks to a steady diet of BBC, my housemate is firmly of the belief that delaying any useful measures must be the right decision and had no idea of, for example, Vietnam quarantining whole neighbourhoods, so if you were wondering how the government was going to spin mass chaos and death, the answer is that it will unfortunately just be inevitable and there was really nothing we could have done to stop it. Please don't quote that first part out of context, thank you.

Brioche is amazing for things that are complemented by a bit of sweetness like pulled pork or cheese, but it explicitly is no good for fully savoury things like beef burgers, and people are bad and wrong for trying to make them work together.

Slightly torn here, I've got minor surgery on Friday and my parents were going to drive me back to theirs to recover, but I'm wondering if we should call it off. It's only a day procedure so I won't be in need of much assistance, but I had a bit of a temperature and a bad chest this week, which probably wasn't coronavirus (and if it was I got off lightly, I'm 33), but even then, I'd be extremely bummed if I gave it to them just in time for the NHS to fall over.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:It's annoying that it's impossible to tell whether I've had it or not without a test. If I found out I've already had it and am now immune, I could go out and help people with their shopping and poo poo. This is it. The absolute most infuriating thing for me. At some point everyone who had mild or no symptoms is just going to have to work on the basis that it's either hit them or that they can probably take the hit, because either way there's only so long that self isolation can go on before people need to go places and interact and attempt to return to normality.

Can the government not just promise to write off the costs to the insurance industry in the event of mass cancellations? It's a lovely capitalist solution to a lovely capitalist problem, but in the interest of public safety it seems better than doing literally nothing.

We're currently drawing up plans so I can work from home most of the time, then work on laptops from a local office when needed, which only has a few people in it, has a separate room I can work from and I can get to without being stuck on a bus, so that's better than nothing I guess. We'll see how long it lasts when poo poo really hits the fan though.

No home working for me yet, they're desperately trying to outfit everyone with crappy old laptops first, which I have to set up. In good news, elective surgeries are apparently still going ahead for now, so that'll be one problem sorted by the end of the week for me.

My team can't do absolutely everything from home, but as of Monday we're working from home with Slack set up so we can chat, with one designated day for us to go into the office if anything needs it (there's only a few of us, so it's better than nothing). Of course that will probably change once things really kick off.

In some personal good news, I just got my hernia surgery before everything inevitably gets cancelled, so that's one problem out of the way. Stings like a bitch, unsurprisingly, but I get two weeks of playing videogames before working from home anyway, so I couldn't have timed it much better.

I'm not going to say that people are wrong for voting Biden over Trump, it's more that, if he gets the nomination then you might as well do whatever because the election is once again irrevocably lost to corporate evil, and personally I'd go for a spoilt ballot, assuming they even count those in America.

I'm sure the info will be out there in a few days, but I'm currently with my parents recuperating from surgery, and they'll be driving me back home in time for the 2nd April to get my surgical clips removed. I'm going to assume that counts as necessary for medical reasons, but I'll probably want the various letters and surgical notes as evidence in case we get pulled over by the fuzz.
