Rep Retirement Lodge: Choose A Number

[MavHockey14]

I fear I'm going to run out of pony gifs at this rate. Though if that's my only fear for the foreseeable future it's not bad.

Went to dinner at my parents, my mom is of course baffled at how ridiculous it is that schools are closed while my dad is worried he won't be able to work with travel possibly being shut down (he does video engineering for research vessels).

I’ve had to get pretty firm with my parents at how serious this is, and try using stories from Italians who are currently living it — “the this was us 10 days ago” stuff going around is great as to why it should feel okay we feel we are overreacting right now.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: Choose A Number

I sent out an email to my folks and inlaws with multiple links to information, resources and recommendations. with some bullet points (some of my fam are a little engineer-y. It works for them and slows the calls. Then there is the FIL who is frustrating, brags how he does things that put him at risk because we all die someday. (usually doing stuff that might exacerbate his medical conditions) You never know if he is serious or not. I sent it to his Sig O I am an evil person

Are we allowed to gather in the CC? No more than 10 at a gathering and stay 6-10 feet away. We will have to have a huger virtual lounge. Brent do you still have TP?

Good Afternoon Lodge!

I always have TP, usually a month's supply. And hospital/industrial grade cleaners, too. In fact, just today, I had help out at the main building at the end of day, and there was an "expired" case of germicidal cleaner that was still usable, we just couldn't sell it (think: selling a gallon of milk a day after the exp date). Specifically made for hotels/hospitals/etc. Employees each got a can of it.

We had two boxes of hand sanitizer that were overgoods (stuff with no address, no invoice or anything) from a couple of months ago, those have turned out very helpful.

Yes, indeed. And those things don't mess around. You're sh* is CLEAN.

Life as usual on the floating hotel. Essentially a self-quarantine, only 6 of us on here, all seemingly in good health. Minimal contact with the outside world.

Time will tell where things are at when I'm due to go home Apr 9. Stay safe and healthy, folks!

Good morning Lodgers.

Catching up on this thread, happy to think my team's hockey season ended on a win over little brother. I guess that's a different way to look at sports being over. More teams got to end their seasons with a win. I do recall wanting to chant "season's over" when we beat Sparty just over a week ago (was it really that recent?), I didn't know that everyone's season would be over.


I work for a manufacturing plant, in a support role. While I can do much of my work remotely, I can't do all of it. Production can't work from home. Some of our design engineers are working from home now, so the office is a few less people, but still potential for disease spread. We are trying to keep our distance and disinfect surfaces, but that only lowers the risk, it doesn't eliminate it.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: Choose A Number

This has been the most stressful week of my life... Guilt, anxiety, joy, anticipation, fear...
I am going to need a stiff drink Saturday night. The emotions are just going to get the best of me I think.

I can't imagine what you are going through (though the photos that have emerged on FB look great).

Things here are ... tense. I had a previously scheduled vacation this week, so I've been out of the hospital. I am also starting a new job (in education) starting on 3/30, so I'm starting to get looped in on changes in the education parts in addition to still working my regular shifts. I've been off since last Friday and don't go back onto the floor until this coming Friday. I've basically been holed up in my house since ... which is making me a little stir crazy.
Planning on asking my elderly neighbors if they need anything from the grocery store on Thursday when we go back to the store.

Good Morning Lodge!

Holed up here at home getting messaged by various family members who are either dealing with people who do not want to be responsible or are freaking out.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: Choose A Number

I suspect that by the end of the week, we're going to shut down, for God knows how long. Upper management had a 4 1/2 hour meeting today, and I know that was the bulk of the meeting. Now I've got to seriously sit down and look at the checkbook to figure out just how far back I need to cut if/when it comes to that.

Lots of people seem to be having that meeting

Evening, Lodge. Well, our paper supplies are now on "restriction" and some special team somewhere decides what orders get filled. That's how low we are.

And now that MN has the "shutdown," orders for all plastic silverware/dinnerware (for takeout from restaurants) is spiking hardcore. We'll probably be mostly depleted by the end of the week, if not sooner.

On one hand, thank you job security. On the other? Thank God I have a couple days off next week.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: Choose A Number

Well, we had the meeting today. We're NOT shutting down. We're splitting our staff. Half the staff is home one week, the other half is home the next week, etc. The people who have responsibilities deemed "critical" will be getting laptops and are expected to work from home on the weeks where they're not in the office. We're all getting paid for the entire time, salaried and hourly, until 5/1, and things will be re-evaluated at that point.

I'll take it in a heartbeat. I get my laptop tomorrow.

Phew! That is great to hear!

Good evening CC Lodge dwellers!

I was trying to do less screen time today so am just catching up. I feel so much more sane not keeping up.
