To be honest the only thing that has changed is us not going out to to eat our normal once a week and visiting with friends/family. Besides that with little kids in the house we haven't ventured out too far these last few months anyways. I'm still working as usual. I'm grateful that I haven't been affected much by this.

Made me realize most of this country are pussies who can be bought off for $1,200 bucks.

I’m going to have to find out if I get drafted by the NFL at my house instead of Vegas.

Are you in the travel industry or something like that? Seems odd to close another 6 weeks in advance without any other information.

Yes, Fallguy, I work in a hotel that is a Conference and Meeting Center.
The news today was that nobody has booked for May after the harsh cancellations that we experienced. Not worth opening.
The phobia over hotels and flight will take a while, imo.

Wake up over an hour later. Walk downstairs to my office. Take conference call after conference call. Eat lunch while being filled in on how big of an a-hole my 5 year old has been while my wife works/watches him (she's a saint). Sometimes get to rub one out at lunch. walk around in Bluetooth, noise cancelling headphones constantly. Play drums while listening to mindless call in meeting/updates.

I'm not going to lie, it's been kind of nice. I got to work from home 40% of the time anyway. This just proves. O can kick that up to 80%. I haven't worn anything but slippers in over a week. If it werent for a kid pushing buttons (love him, but no kid is meant to be in this situation), itd be near heaven.

Definitely. I filled up my car for the first time in more than a month. Spending a little more at the grocery store and we still try to support local restaurants one or two times a week. But spending less in many other areas.

I am about to order some outdoor furniture though .. if I stuck at home I just as complete the outdoor area.

How did it affect me, well I own a small business, I lost All my clients, other businesses that I'm sure we're bailed out. Then my other job was made to where I didn't get laid off but my income won't cover my deductions for healthcare etc. So I applied for an emergency loan and heard nothing and unemployment numbers don't connect. Oh stimulus check was held up because...No Answer ! I'm not sick my family is well so I am thankful for that. Just broker than ever. One day at a time and roll with the punches I'm 62 and will work until Something kills me. But, "Geaux Tigers" right, so glad we got our National Championship before this crap.
