How has the Coronavirus impacted you directly, to this point?

This shit has cause my workload to increase and is killing me. I own my own cleaning business( I have 5 accounts), and I work "part time" as a merchandiser/vendor for Nabisco. Yeah I said part time but these muthafuckas trying to take advantage now and I'm getting over 40 hours. I work M-F for Nabisco and do all my weekly cleaning Sat and Sun so I never get a day off for shit. I have an employee b/c one of my accounts is a 3 times a week cleaning, too far for me to do right now got my best friend that lives there handling it for me.

I know I'm gonna catch this shit from my cleaning on weekends and merchandising at all the stores I go to. The shit stay packed with people. One good thing is I'm always at some store when their truck of toilet paper comes in so I know I can get my hands on some when I run out. These stores are making a killing right now

You should be happy, most people are losing money and your gaining it seems like
 
PART 1

So...

Yesterday a decent looking young Black lady was checking out in front of me at Walmart. Cashier told her you can't buy wine on Sunday until noon (Georgia law). It was 11:53.

Bitch decided she was gonna make the whole line wait rather than get the shit another day or get back in line....

12 noon hit and the cashier was informed the moratorium ends at 12:30 not 12. Bitch walked out with no wine and no apology to us for time wasted.

PART 2

I diffused the tension with the cashier and folk in line behind me. Elderly Black lady asked if the fried chicken I got was still on sale. I said yes but she didn't want to get back in line. I gave her my lemon pepper chicken and she was so appreciative. I had more than enough groceries anyway.

Our character is being tested in these times. Try to leave people just a little better than you met them.

That's crazy...

1) Why not let others go ahead until then?

2) That Sunday liquor laws still exist. (This is probably mostly in states voting Biden in the primaries.)
 
Here are some more survey, focus groups and tasks sites that I check everyday several times a day. I'm rejected a lot more than I'm accepted but when I get in, they pay well. The majority of them are remote and only require a webcam/mic where a surveyor asks you direct questions, using a program like Zoom, or you participate in an online focus group with about four other people. A minority of them are UX/UI tests where you navigate a web page and point out things you like and don't like while speaking during the recorded session. Most of them pay via PayPal (most within 7 days), but some will send you a paper check.

Finally, my mom just received the dreaded email that I told her that was coming that mystery shopping would be cancelled due to Covid-19. She averaged about $500-$800/month doing that for about 8-10 hours of her time. Dad? He doesn't care as long as Sam and little Sam sends his retirement/disability checks.

:cool:

My younger brother has been living in Madrid/Spain the last 4+ years and he said this is (and the fact that they have different hygiene habits) is the reason Coronavirus has spread so rapidly in Europe.

Culturally, they have group gatherings and dont wash as much as we do in the states. Also, damn near everyone smokes, so their lungs are already shitty.

My brother has quarantined himself trying to stay away from everyone. Smh he's in the wrong place to be as OCD as he is already.

This is known behavior amongst Europeans but you don't really hear the media talking about this.

OH so YOU uptown....

cool
 
Im in Mexico now. I got a text from my supervisor saying that when I get back I will be in a 14 day quarantine. I have no problem with that but they haven't specific if I have to burn my own pto for the time.

Friday before I left work there was a meeting and they said no restrictions to where I was traveling. I get an email today from HR at 430 saying that Mexico and Canada are now in the list for the job. I can see a fight on my hands coming up about the time because that memo was mot sent out until after I traveled.

yea they tryin to get this bill through, where if you have to be isolated and not be able to work due to corona.. you will get paid and not have to burn your pto...

the question is can those numbskulls on the hill put their bullshit aside an actually accomplish something..

Damn.... Sorry for those that are losing money and jobs. Hope you rebound soon.

I feel that anyone who didn't support the teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad before this, deserves the same fate as their master the white man who is the very devil that the bible speaks of. :suicide: :yes:

Finally went to the store today, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I gave up caffeine and sweets for Lent, but yesterday I had a Pepsi and Dr Pepper and today a honey bun a cup of coffee, and I'm not even sure why because I'm not nervous or anything.

So I go back on my lent fast tomorrow.

Oh and my Birthday trip to ATL is cancelled due to the limited travel and everything will be closed.
 
I just came down with it after taking a test, I have a fever and shortness of breath.

I am going to all the white bars and businesses to spread it. Visiting Las Vegas and other hostile areas of the country to spread it.

Me being kinds and acting like a self hating coon, no I am trying to take you out.
 
Saw more people outside socializing more than a lil bit.. Kids were parks, people were playing sports, people getting their work out on... Took away the entertainment from the idiot box and gave everybody a vacation this s hit ended up doing the reverse of social distance... Wait till Fri when it hits 75 degrees... Oh man the streets gonna be flooded.. I already know the smuts gonna be out... It's gonna end up being a city wide block party

Are you serious or being sarcastic?
 
Just got the word back from my job when I return to the US i will be on quarantine for 14 days but the time I have to burn will come from a bank called catastrophic time, I aint tripping cause I have over 600 hours of cat time so 80 wont hurt me

I had a showdown with my supervisor the other day cause they said I would have to burn sick or vacation time after the job said Friday that I was good to travel to the Caribbean. Monday they said it would require a self quarantine on return which was bs.
 
The wife and I decided to use this as an opportunity to start a new workout regimen, starting tomorrow.

No LA Fitness - cardio in the real world and weight training at home. Not a COVID-19 passer in sight w/ this plan.

Damn. They minus whale call it a wrap and not let them back til August.

yep, got that too. Canceled testing as well. They are giving parents the decision to hold their kid back or advance them to next grade.
 
Come on man....don't you know the BGOL lexicon?

Been a member of the Board 23 years and missed that one lol. My wife said you had to have been voice texting; since I missed the joke and ain’t trying to clown a fellow OG I've deleted that reply.
 
These people will end up being the death of hundreds of people.
DeBaliso is going to send in the nation guard to keep people inside.
It is crazy how humans are trying hard to end humanity.

I found out someone at work went to the Dr. for the flu and found out they had symptoms. I’m guessing they just wanted to be sure, were able to go back tomorrow but I’m take the day off and et. Few other things in order.

Thanks
 
I'm in Florida with the kids at Legoland.

They closed the park but kept the hotel open.

Refunded over half our money.

So now instead of a buffet we're getting a private chef making food that ain't even on the menu.

Got the heated pool to ourselves, private lego builders classes, private parties, etc.

Traffic was sparse on the way here.

Got a free nights stay at the Embassy Suites in Atlanta the night before due to low occupancy.
