oh hey it's quarantine

So I'm pretty sure I'm going to get laid off.

I'm not 100 percent sure, I work 4 days and get 3 off, I worked yesterday so I'm waiting until Thursday to get word.

It's a cleaning job for a factory that makes fiberglass parts, and most people that work in the factory aren't coming in. There's about 10-14 people on my shift, and my boss and I are the only ones who are full time employees. I think I'm going to call in tomorrow to see, I can't ask my boss since he's one of those dudes that never use a cell phone.

So what should I start doing now, assuming that I'm going to fired?

Cheers.

EDIT: I did get laid off for at least two weeks, so I'm collecting unemployment. Thank you for all your advice! I love this community!

How to Entertain Your Extrovert

Soooo...hubs and I get to work from home and practice self-distancing. This is great...for me! Hubs, however, is more extroverted and loves talking to people. He loves talking period. He's always talking about something :-D

How are extroverted folks coping?

What can I suggest to hubs to help him?

End of the world soundtrack

So, since ALL of my plans have effectively been fucked for the foreseeable future (I guess we’ll go to Italy NEXT year, but prices should be cheap so imma add on a few countries)..(.And my kids are out of school, because I’m suppose to be a teacher now?) I would wnjoy this, except... for I dunno, forever??...AND as an RN I’m an essential worker, which is good, except the hospital I work at has decided that MY unit is the one to take all the covid19 patients (but we don’t have enough n95’s so surgical masks are ok..??..) AND I live (mostly) in a 3 generation household, so o have to worry about infecting not only my kids, but also my elderly parents...so I decided I need an end of the world playlist...so I can listen to and from work...since that’s the only place I can go, seeing as pretty much everything else is closed...
Ideas and suggestions?
Please??????
(I’m not trying to be flippant, I know a lot of people are suddenly out of work...I’m glad to pull a paycheck, I just don’t want my dad to die for it...🤔)
