I'm might need that Quarantini about now...

Well, I hope all of you are doing better out there. I know the state of Ohio has been all over the news as a poster-child for Covid-19 quarantine measures, so I just wanted to share that I'm still alive ( Read more... )

Thank you.
And I hope you're also doing OK, wherever that somewhere is.

On lockdown here as well. Thankfully, my job is (mostly) uninterrupted. Slight scheduling changes to "mitigate health risks," but overall, it's business as usual in my neck of the woods. Restaurants are closed, which sucks. Not sure about curfew, but I'm rarely out past 8PM anyway (and that's for work, LOL). Paper products in hot demand like everywhere else (lolwut?), though our crew is pretty stocked, so no worries there. (Or anywhere else, for that matter. I'm a shut-in even when there ISN'T an obnoxious virus running rampant on Planet Earth.) Glad to hear you and yours are doing well. And hopefully, you'll find stuff to keep you preoccupied while we all wait this out. (I recommend Tumblr, which is where I'm spending a lot of time these days. *pokes you*)

I'm glad to hear you're hand in there, too!
We just went into a "Shelter in Place" two days ago, and it's in effect for two weeks (though it looks like it could be longer). All I can say is, I'm lucky that I've got some semblance of work... I got on-line classes to run from home and I can get out of the house with my other job (granted that job is policing a hospital full of Corona).

We don't really have a curfew, but everything closes by 9:00 PM anyways. So, our city is taking that as our new 'curfew'.

The thing with Tumblr is that I'm not really sure if there's really anything for me to follow on there (well, other then you, that is :D). Most of my hobbies (ie: woodworking, my glass, etc.) aren't things that normally find their way onto that site and half the stuff that people do follow, I'm just that outta the loop on... (like who collect Civil War-era wine glasses on there?) It's like Tumblr makes me feel like I'm just too old for Tumblr. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've got the kind of job that's open no matter what (i.e. data storage), but they've cut back my hours from 12 to 9 (still getting paid for a full shift though, which is good) and we're alternating days so no more than one person is physically onsite at a given time. A little excessive, in my opinion, but whatever makes them happy. I go back in tomorrow, which I'm admittedly looking forward to so I can actually get some work done on-and hopefully finish-my newest fic.

I ignored Tumblr for years. But LiveJournal's (largely) dead, and Tumblr's the only social networking platform I didn't have to actively open a new account to join (because I've secretly had a blog there for YEARS). It's a good mixture of old and new fandom and basically the only place online I can find a good selection of Hitman GIFsets. Me and my fellow The Mandalorian buds toss around Season 2 theories and obsess over our latest ships. I've even posted some Tumblr-exclusive fanfiction. So I guess it goes to show I'm NOT too old for Tumblr, because I sorta/ ( ... )
