Welcome back Al--I missed your journals.
Thanks Shelby.
Employer's due to announce the mandatory rotating stay-at-home schedule
tomorrow, just realized I didn't make that clear.
If only one day a week, will probably still pop in, if more, posting will likely be severely curtailed.
Or I may simply opt to ignore the "mandatory" element and
sneak in to work anyway.
After all, every once in a while one of my customers does come up with a sudden panic need, no joke intended.
I don't have a lot of close contact in any case.
The craziness already hit the supermarkets around here on Saturday morning when panic buying finally reared its ugly head out here at
7:30 AM in the local Safeway, 8am (opening time) at the Whole Foods.
I normally shop early on weekends to avoid the crowds, so this was mind-blowing to me, lines down the aisles.
It occurred to me after the fact that perhaps there was also fear of involuntary quarantine or of the potential that items needed just to feed the family might be gone if the chief shopper didn't act quickly.
On Sunday morning heard news report that info circulating on social media
claiming it was coming it was coming was...... fake.
Thought
that explained it.
Now this.
The irony that hit me is that here are all these people subjecting themselves to extended close quarters contact, practicing the exact behavior which is supposed to be the primary transmission model for the disease which is responsible for the panic purchasing activity...as I've said before: "WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING!?!?"
It'd serve 'em right if they have to use their backyard grass like the dog with an itchy butt does, when the TP runs out.
