Sorry to hear you were so sick, mock. I've had food poisoning a couple of times and it is horrible! Glad to hear you are better.

I'm doing okay too, just some bruising. I was sore yesterday most of the day;woke up today feeling good! :banana:
I don't know how Canada works but here it would have to be pretty negligent to get anywhere with the courts. But, you could get a bundle if they were found, or likely, guilty...
You'd have to have witnesses that claimed negligence though too....
I don't think the driver was negligent. The only thing that might be considered negligent was driving before I was seated but I don't think the drivers can do that for every single passenger unless they're elderly or disabled. So, since I'm feeling fine, I'm not going to hire a lawyer.

My mom asked me to go shopping today....
Holy fuck...people are already losing it...fights in the parking lots people screaming at each other everywhere...and this is just the tip of the iceberg...


Also super annoyed by everyone young on the internet not getting why people are buying tp in bulk....every comment is "why buy TP when the virus doesn't cause the runs?"
Why does nobody under 30 get this shit is gonna house lock everyone?

Because the philosophy is if you don't need everything at once don't hoard it so other people can't get the necessities too. I mean unless we're talking about Chechnya in the 90's

I went out today to Amoeba Records in Hollywood, probably not a great idea not because of the Zombie Apocalypse but wtf, I can't rely on Amazon for all my entertainment needs. Because most of the drive from Huntington Beach was in a surprise localized downpour, that made freeway driving a bit dicey.

Amoeba which can often be pretty crazy packed on weekends was thankfully mostly light and mellow although far from "empty." A lot of people inappropriately dressed for virus protection, like wearing cotton white gloves and home made face masks that look like they were cut from old t-shirts. One couple had all this shit (plus a bottle of Purrell sticking out of mom's purse) on while pushing their baby in a stroller who had no gloves, no face mask and no jacket or blanket despite the cold, wet weather outside - go figure.

I had a bit of a chuckle when I noticed these two college aged guys in full 2020ZA regalia wanting to look at some of the same record bins I was rifling through but keeping a distance until I'd move on to the next isle. Cueing in on this, I'd come back around and weasel close to them and they'd immediately move away like I was a radioactive mutant. I'd throw in a couple coughs for added amusement. I get my entertainment where I can find it these days. The fact that I bought over $100 worth of records and cds was almost secondary to the worthiness of the trip.

Meanwhile, my wife had to go to Target this morning to get a new jug of laundry detergent and a couple other minor things. She figured Costco was the Forbidden Zone and thought Target wouldn't be as nutty. Wrong-o, mommy-o. She got to see a couple of bimbos argue over some remaining gallons of milk and some other woman loudly berate some poor store drone over a lack of - that's right, you guessed it... toilet paper.

I really need to keep a note pad with me - there's a great comedy film script to be dragged outta all these incredible life experiences.

Hilarious. Things have been pretty tame here, the shelves are a little less stacked than usual (mostly eggs and beans seem to be running low) but then two days later it's totally re-stocked. What did you pick up at anyway? Just curious

I like that thing Amoeba does What's In My Bag?

I'm in a weird position this Sunday afternoon waiting to hear back from my boss on whether I'm expected to come into the office tomorrow or not. First it was all employees working from home. Then it turned out I was among the skeleton crew who still had to go in (even though, while not something that could be done remote, my job is dumb and could easily be suspended for a time). I made a renewed case for me staying put at home, but haven't heard back yet.

How many of you guys are still going into work Monday?

I have a job where I have to go to work as it would cause a health and safety issue if people stayed home.

There are 7 of us so not too many people so I guess we could go with two people a day working and the rest are on call if needed.

If one of us gets it and it spreads that is where things would become interesting. :noclue:

At the football club I work at, they told me all activities were suspended for 2 weeks.

However, I still have to go on Wednesday for a meeting (which I’m sure wouldn’t take longer than a phone call.)

AND, I still haven’t signed my contract. So they could well not pay me for those 2 weeks, and/or maybe get eid of me altogether. I’m the newer guy in and why would they bankroll me for at least two weeks (and possibly more) whilst I work on translations at home.

My 80 year old lady hands from so much handwashing and cleaning. I'm going through lotion like it's water.

Got a notice that I will be audited for my CEU (Continuing Education Credits) for my architect's license.....
A big kick in the pants with half of professionals out of work or at risk...........

boooooo. :neutral:

I request a certificate for each continuing education "class" that I attend at the lunch presentations vendors put on....but of course they never send them out, and I am not going to be spending my time tracking some some dumb piece of paper each time.
:dunce:

Well, the professional organization that my old job was paying a bundle each year is supposed to be keeping my records for credits, but they throw them in the trash once they stop getting their extortion money.................

Today, on Facebook meesenger, I was written too by a guy I was at school with (who's now unfriended me boo hoo) who took particular offence to me putting a "laughing face" by one of his posts. This was the post
Moses was sent to awaken Pharaoh's heart
Pharaoh refused to accept any power beyond himself
For many years he had suppressed the Israelites
So God sent him a series of signs and plagues
He continued to show disobedience
God drowned him and his chariots in the end
The Israelites were now free from his despotism
Today we live in a Pharaonic system
It truly has most of mankind in its death grip
It appeals to our lowest traits
It has veiled us from the idea of a Creator
Now our world has altered due to something from the ghayib
He has given us time from our lives to truly reflect on whats important
We were too busy chasing Duniya
It is not in the Sunnah of God to just eradicate a people
He will out of his mercy sent subtle signs
It truly is time to wake up now
We now have a chance to be among the Believers
OK, maybe I was just pissed off with the amount of religious bull shit that comes on to my time line. I don't set out to be a cunt, but for some reason I reacted to this. And today he wrote to me asking

what I offered to the world

What morals I had

How did the Egyptians build pyramids (???)

Yes, we appeared out of nothing

The universe and solar systems and laws of physics just came about by a mere accident

etc...

You get the drift

I find this hilarious even though I'm fucking fuming.
