No offense, but I hope whomever volunteers also gets paid and paid well.
It's the sixth version of The Swamp. What could possibly go wrong?

Which means that all the "doctors will have to choose who lives and who dies" predictions were bang on. I don't know how you actually implement the process, but if there's an 85 year old on a ventilator and a 35 year old parent who needs to be on one, you have to make that switch.
Excellent points. In addition to unemployment, you may qualify for Emergency Paid Sick Leave, though it's unclear if shelter at home work closure employees will qualify. The SBA loan Steve mentioned is the best option. Basically free money for employers to pay furloughed employees. New York and New Jersey have shut down the eviction process, find out if Texas has done something similar. I know banks are required to postpone mortgage payments for home owners out of work, not sure if some states have similar laws for renters out of work.Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Fri Apr 03, 2020 4:54 pmThat sucks, TT. What kind of employer were you working for? If it's a small business, they can take out a SBA loan and if they use that money to pay employees, that part of the loan will be forgiven. Are you in a position to advise them of this, so they can help you folks out?TT2.0 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 03, 2020 4:10 pm Unemployment claim submitted yesterday.

Also, if don't have enough money to pay your rent, don't pay your rent. Though it'd be good to keep your landlord apprised of your situation (especially the fact that you got your unemployment application in). There's no way you are the only one in this situation, and the landlord has nothing to gain by going to court to try to evict you.

Been up today since 5:30, taking the dog out soon.
But on the bright side, quarantine Saturdays were just made for napping.
From what I’ve heard it’s a pretty unique dry cough. If it’s not hurting a little to cough you’re probably OK.tennbengal wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2020 5:12 pm But out of general curiosity - has anyone on the internets who has the cough and diagnosis but not had to be hospitalized taken the time to upload what the cough sounds like ?
I’ve heard that too - but that’s why I was wondering why there wasn’t a simple easily findable audio file of it uploaded somewhere.brian wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2020 5:26 pmFrom what I’ve heard it’s a pretty unique dry cough.

If that's the worst shit you have to bug your IT team with, it wouldn't even rate on them tooling on you behind your back.rass wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 6:45 am I've been WFH since 3/12, and thanks to remote desktop saving my credentials haven't typed in my work/domain password since probably that morning. MS Teams decided not to log me in automatically this morning and... I can't fucking remember what my current password is. I could work off the Teams app on my phone, but that's annoying and I'll eventually need the password to reset/renew anyway, so I had to debase myself by admitting this to internal IT.

im just going to cut and paste the post from a pretty well known comic in houston and leave his name out to give you an idea of the kind of feelings about donations, and keep in mind that this guy is the booker for THREE rooms, so if he hates you you aren't working there...and he is by no means the only booker that feels this way.
Y’all should be ashamed of yourself for asking people for money to donate to you and most of these people on the same boat as yo ass... if you choose to do a LIVE Facebook show that’s your choice you doing that at your own risk but to charge people is fucking ridiculous... That’s my opinion and I said what I said 🤷🏾♂️
yeah, of course it is (disingenuous), as that had been established up thread. I was just pointing out that's not a very well thought out bit of bullshit.
