So who's still going to work?

[BIGSHCLUNK]

And pretty much strokin' the dog? Being an essential biz is fine. Dont mind coming to my shop at all BUT it sure is boring most of the day. How else could I post this at this time of the day. Carlots not selling cars, majority of the service garages slow, and out side of dealer work the majority of body shops are empty... having fun yet?? How much youtube can I watch? The only excitement I know of is they tell me they are raising the super structure for the new bill board tomorrow.

Print Shops are essential, so yes, I'm still working. Got caught up on orders that were already in process, but now it has all come to a halt and so have the checks.
Our son & his wife are having a baby next week and if I want to be able to visit after they are home, I need to self isolate for 14 days.
I'm just going to remained closed. I can still keep in touch with my commercial accounts if they need anything, just can't have anyone coming to the shop.

I guess it's Spring cleaning next.....

My Sister has a new Grand Daughter that is 5 weeks old...They've seen her on video chat, but haven't been able to visit or hold the new baby...The world certainly sucks right now.

Congratulations on your upcoming little one Judy....I hope everything is well with you and your family
Cheers...Alan

I work at a wastewater treatment plant so I am still going to work. That stuff keeps coming no matter what's going on .

I'm "essential" as I work for a Government contractor. I have a letter from my employer to prove it if I get pulled over.

This is a really weird time. Not much traffic on the roads now is the only positive.

I am working over 40hrs a week. One of the products we produce is the raw material for making toilet paper.....So we're working overtime..lol

Though I'm still confused how North Americans are poopin' more just cuz lots of people are at home?

Mike , I know what you mean. I'm leaving the house 15 mins later and still get here in plenty of time

Judy, congrats on the new baby !

My company is considered essential also we make cans for baby formula, cans for military applications and 10# and 50# welding rod cans for the big 3 for infrastructure construction among other things.

It's simple.  Instead of pooping at work, you're pooping at home.  That means you go through more toilet paper.  Then there's the fact that by stocking up, the need to go out into the petri dish is minimized.

Still working here.  Our governor refuses to issue a lock-down.  Still lots of non essential people going to work here.  The wife works in a nursing home.  She is still going in but her hours have been cut significantly.(physical therapy) Not that much has changed in my household.  We never went anywhere when everything was open.  The only difference is that we are getting groceries by curbside pickup instead of going into the store.  My daughter does miss her grandparents a lot though.  Haven't seen them in over a month.

My business is considered essential, Body shop and towing & recovery. But with no traffic there is nothing to tow or repair!

As old retired people we don't get out of ANYTHING.

I am working at the hospital every day as a nurse.  Our Operating Room is shut down to emergent, urgent, and medically necessary cases only.  So we are at about a quarter capacity to preserve PPE, ventilators, and employees. I spend my time studying to do other nursing jobs in the hospital so if/when the crisis hits, we all can cover for our workers who become ill. That will be stressful if I have to turn into an ICU nurse overnight. 
   So far, we are not being crushed by Covid.  Yes, we do have patients, but our area has been excellent in decreasing the spread of the virus related to our diligence of social distancing and quite frankly, not being stupid about it.  I wish I could say that for a lot of areas. 
   Today I was informed that I will now be working weekends as necessary to help with decreasing the workload that we have put on hold.  I will find out on Thursdays if I will be working the weekends.  That sorta sucks. Motorcycle racing starts in two weeks. It will be hard to earn points if I can't make the race.
   We were just informed that when we do go back to normal, we will have to make up over 6000 surgeries between all of our facilities as we do our normal amount of workload.  We will be running a new schedule that will have us doing surgeries all day and all night long.  It looks like the rest of the year is going to suck at work.

I'm still working, some of my customers have Generac generators that power medical equipment if the power goes out. As well as lawn equipment and snowblowers. Everyone has to stay in the house while I do my thing. At first this might seem like a good thing but I really enjoy talking to my customers. I feel rude asking them to distance and stay inside but they understand. So far getting parts /supplies has not been an issue but I can see it possibly being an issue in the future.
I'm glad I have the Javelin to work on otherwise it would get quite boring really quick. Never did spend much time on the TV .

My office is now my bedroom so I get up, go to the kitchen and get breakfast, then shower, then go to work, back in the bedroom where I got out of bed 45 minutes earlier.
My side work, flight instructing, is down for who knows how long, and my "day job" just announced Monday they are cutting our pay 15%, my taxes just got done and I owe the IRS and state a couple grand, and I didn't qualify for the stimulus check. So I'm not a happy camper.
I'm actually buried in work and falling behind.
Could be worse, I'm glad I still have the day job, even at only 85% pay.

Our business is essential and I'm one of the essential employees with the letter.  Most other office people are non-essential and working from home.  It is nice as it is like being in on a Saturday.  But way too many Skype calls since people are at home.
