No clue how to and I'm probably not wanted as usual. I'm clean - haven't been overseas since 1997, haven't been anywhere on holiday since 2002, been socially isolated since 2014 |

Burson/Repco have small hatches as their delivery vehicles running around locally and they don't seem to have these so called boot size issues. I can fit a roll cab and a tool chest inside my Focus with the back seats down so there goes your excuses. Speaking of which you're still yet to put forward a suggestion? A lot of trying to crap on everyone else's ideas without putting forward suggestions. You're the guy in the stands throwing rotten tomatoes at the guy with the sword in the arena. |

People have suggested that parents shouldn't need the Govco to tell them what to do, but from my own perspective, the families I deal with everyday are refugee's, many of whom have been in the country less than 10 minutes, hence the access to the program run for their children. Many of them come from parts of the World where everything they do is controlled by their homelands Govco and so in times of crises it is a strong leadership which they rely on to make those decisions right or wrong. Unfortunately the way this has been handled has been a complete cluster **** from day dot, that's not a Political statement, if it we're Albo coming up with this **** i'd be saying the same. If they cant even get the rules around a haircut right, is no wonder people are confused Anyway, its fairly clear where its heading with this regard now so i'll refrain from commenting on this aspect of the crisis from now on. |

I've been working from home since last Friday and had no issues until today when it was so slow I went into work. I arrived right on lunch time and barely anyone.
Traffic was good but you always get that one ***** that wants to sit in the right lane ![]() I usually work from home ad-hoc maybe once or twice a month and it's a break but doing this longer term is quite different then I thought. I had to turn the TV on to get some background noise going when I usually have it off ![]() |

The main revelation from today related to this whole situation, the main building management company my work works for put out a directive. 1 person per elevator. In principal it sounds good. In practice with people lined up it adds way too much time to everything. If your in a loading dock or a foyer in a line with the prescribed distance, it takes an age. If youre on a floor and call a lift, if theres a person in it you have to let it go. Multiple times. And yet the clients will most deffinately complain about labour costs when theres so much time wasted on waiting for an empty lift car. |

With so many of us confined to home, image what would occur if the internet stopped working, even just for a few hours. Pandemonium!

The case of the Perth man who died today is quite concerning. Over 70, no previous respiratory conditions, had no symptoms, fainted, went to hospital, tested positive, put into isolation ward, 25 hours later he's dead!
Scary to know that even though he was admitted to hospital, he could not be saved. And that's while the hospital was nowhere near being overwhelmed with Covid-19 cases. Imagine what it would be like IF it ever get's to the stage where the hospitals are being overwhelmed with cases. |

Well, in Canberra I can only guess they're too busy playing the reality version of Dungeons & Dragons.

Qld schools to shut next week. But not really. They remain open for children of essential workers. I think we are planning to move to online lessons but I am not sure what that will look like...

I have had no issues but I have heard many many more negative comments on NBN for every positive. I live on the same street as both the exchange and node so explains why I'm all good. Don't take it as any endorsement of what we have because it's not. I'm just grateful mine is not **** as it is for others. |

All those odd jobs that needed doing starting back from around 2000 would finally get done! We would be healthier due to sleeping at 9pm. We would improve our relationship with family and friends. We would lose weight. Power bills will drop. Hell, we would have to re-teach ourselves the art of reading a book!

Many couples and/or friends walking together almost hand in hand and not picking up the clues in the tape 'X's or lines on the floor the shops have done about distancing from strangers either. I'm not a fearful guy, spent too many recent years wishing I was dead anyway. But what really gets my goat is the ban on cartons of 500ml cans of oettinger. Apparently they're banned because they're too big at 12L beer (even though you can buy 30 can blocks of 375ml cans that are 11.5L - but I don't like those beers ;-) ) E: In WA we're banned from buying more than 1L spirits, 3 bottle of wine or 1 carton of beer since tuesday. All the cheap bourbons are mostly sold out already despite the limit but that's OK, I don't drink that and plenty of preferred options. But the oettinger cans is a kick in the guts especially if the bottleshops close and I have none to ration for a month or more There's only slightly more parking spots than normal so plenty of people about. When I went to the bottle shop some guy was chatting away talking the cashiers ear off like it was normal every day and wouldn't F 'off. There was a warehouse/logistics/forklift course I signed up to a month ago and they keep calling and texting me to confirm I'm still going to rock up to the classroom on Monday. I don't know what to do as it's a private training academy that already has my bank account debit authority so if I cancel they'll probably still charge me. I can't see the point as there's going to be no work on anymore for a while (any employment would be for experienced over someone that just did a course).

Given my previous bouts of pneumonia and my experience with hospitals, I'd only go to hospital if I'm prepared to die there.

I work in Warehousing, specifically Food Storage, and we are always after staff to fill all positions. It attracts all sorts of people being that you generally need no qualifications apart from LF Forklift Ticket, so we get heaps of lazy pricks cos' HR employs them.The lazy ones get shown the door quick smart, as it can be physically demanding at times, but nowhere like being a physical labourer, and the money is great too for non-skilled labour. Once you get your ticket, it opens up many other doors, go for it. |
