I do advertising for events and festivals. EVERYTHING has been cancelled or postponed. I’m bored out of my mind.

Updating my Xbox and downloading a few games.

I'm one of four people here.

And I'm really only here as an excuse to take a couple of empty Kentwood jugs to go camping.

Business as usual and I don't see us shutting down or going remote. All of our customers are "essential" and won't shut down, so neither will we.

Same, but you can never have too much.

We just got told to basically do the bare minimum. Get in and out of our accounts as quickly as possible.

I'm working from home. It's killing me to have guys in California on a project but at least they're in a room in a data center and have minimal contact with the outside world.

I need a loaf, my boy wanted cinnamon toast but Kroger was sold out yesterday.

Try gas stations and mom and pop stores. Bread was pretty much untouched there. As for places like Kroger try going there around 8 am. That is around the time the bread vendors will be stocking. It's still really busy so it will probably go quickly. In most places Wednesday and Sunday do not get bread delivery so avoid those days.

Work at LSU and we're consistently busy. Tons of calls from students/parents reacting to the cancellation/shift announced last week.

I've been working mostly from home for several years now, so business as usual so far.... But I did have to turn the TV on this morning for some background noise, since the sports podcasts I usually listen to are all tits up.

I usually put it on the news for good background noise but now since it’s all coronavirus coverage I’ve put it on some random diy channel or something.

Same old same old for me.

I work for a bank and do data management work. I work remotely most of the time so nothing is different other than the kids being here.

Update: It is now 2:15 and I have had 22 emails today. 11 that werent pertaining to me, 6 auto out of office from follow ups I sent, 4 spam, and 1 to update us on the virus.

This is BY FAR, the slowest day in the 3 1/2 years I have been here by 100-150 emails.
