I work in the entertainment industry and the corona epidemic has begun to cause some of my work to be canceled. It's a pity, but I'll be okay.
----------------------------------------Only now I have a little more free time than expected so it made me want to play games. At the same time, I should not spend more when buying new parts because I still have the mods that I'm trying to finish. -------------- Edited to remove website link.

I am retired (but not from teaching), but do substitute teach and volunteer in middle school grades 6-8, mostly math classes. I am not sure about just how the school year will happen this year. There has been a shortage of substitute teachers in the past and it remains to be seen this year just how substitute teachers will be utilized. I am lucky in that I do not need the money from this endeavor, but do it because I feel the students need a competent person there when their regular teacher is unavailable. I have the confidence of the regular teachers that the lesson to be presented when they are not there will be presented competently so there is no loss of continuity of the pupils studies.
----------------------------------------I am in an enhanced risk group due to age, but would still feel confident with in person classes provided safety protocols are in place and enforced by the school. There will be school board meeting this week which I will attend to see what they have in mind. It should be interesting. Cheers

I live in a building that rents very small one room apartments in a major city. So small that most of them do not have kitchens and the bathrooms all have small showers and no tubs. Most of the people in my building that were not self employed are either doing things like Door Dash and other "gig economy" jobs or they are not working at all. The few that still have their same jobs, most of them do it from home. One of my neighbors worked as a door man in a big condo building. After two residents their tested positive he took early retirement instead of unemployment. Four other residents have had family members contact COVID.
----------------------------------------I do not know anybody that hasn't been affected by it. Even my family in the rural areas of the US are impacted. If you made it to the end of July without feeling the economic crunch you were lucky. [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Aug 4, 2020 5:52:34 PM] |

I do not know anybody that hasn't been affected by it. Even my family in the rural areas of the US are impacted. If you made it to the end of July without feeling the economic crunch you were lucky. Every day I think of the people who are impacted. For some reason I worry more about the cooks and waitresses in restaurants, since they may not have much of an economic cushion, and don't know if their jobs will come back or not. I am conveniently very retired, and spend my time as I usually do, upgrading my PCs. I just can't travel now beyond day trips. I am very lucky. Good luck to all. |
