[TotW] How Are You Doing?

Greetings from Romania, here everything else other than markets, pharmacies is practically closed. We have a lot of cases here around 400 if i'm not mistaken, and we're in isolation as well. Fortunately i can work remotely and still remain inside. Indeed this isolation is not so different as most of my free time i already spend on playing games. We're calm here not panicked or anything, getting out from time to time to buy food and that's all.

Well... I currently start an account on GTA V for Casino Heist with my friends for farming an amazing bank. a_a"

checking in from southern california:

our roads here are nice and empty, what was once a 1.5 hr commute (IN TRAFFIC) to work is now 1/2 of that. after a few days, that has switched over to work-from-home

in my case, this is a BLESSING. I can be at home with my 3 month old baby, AND I can work on my project car(s) in my garage while on lunch breaks, and immediately after work (usually after work, I throw away another 1.5 hrs commuting home)

we habitually stock up on things when they are "on sale", so thankfully .... we are really really really good on tp / water / rice (we're asian), meat in our big freezer in the garage, and many other things thanks to a wife who does "extreme coupon-ing"




I hope the rest of you are doing okay.

Germany is doing ok I guess. Havent seen any toilet paper shortages but I did have 2 days where I couldnt find any milk, bread and eggs in the supermarkets. But they restocked everything on Monday so not all is lost yet.

I don't get it, same in Poland - almost every person is making a HUGE shopping (including toilet paper), but then all food are thrown to trash... But now I can easilly buy anything, and it's always full stock of everything

As of today, schools are still open, so my wife and I are both working. I go to a 3-day work week next week, but it's better than what is happening to most folk in my industry (events). I'm looking forward to more time to play Overwatch, actually, but am really looking forward to when some income becomes disposable again, and I can plan my next Razer purchase.

Oh, and I'm completely out of Razer Respawn ...

#StayHome

Hello friends,

I am well, I hope it is the same for everyone and your family.
The insulation will protect the weakest from infection while awaiting treatment and the vaccine.
It is a global scourge, it shows us that we are all equal for this event, we must be united all together.
Scientists will find the solution. ^_^

Thank you to everyone for your courage, to the health sector, to businesses, to states that help save lives.

Kisses

I’m in Ohio, USA and we’ve just been issued a stricter stay-at-home decree. I’m a barista and I happen to work in a coffee shop that operates inside a high-end grocery store, so I’m still able to work. Part of me wishes we were sent home to be safer but then I’m not sure what I’d do for money. I come home to my wife and my little boy every night and I just hope that I don’t get sick or make them sick. We’re taking all the precautions we can and being extra diligent about hand hygiene, but we’re very scared about what is happening and how we can protect our son.

I hope you’re all staying as safe as possible.

My school is closed and we have not really had much of a directive as of what to do yet, so I have been spending a lot of time watching Youtube, Netflix and of course, playing games. Also have been spending as much time as possible in the wilderness (of course away from all other people). Nice to get away from the internet every now and then .

I hope everyone is staying safe, we can beat this together!.

Hi
Leider ist es in meinem Job nicht möglich, Home Office zu betreiben. Aktuell bin ich beurlaubt und wir hoffen hier, ab etwa 20 April zumindest, in kürzeren Zeiten wieder zu arbeiten.
Ansonsten ist es hier in Deutschland noch ganz Ok. Wir haben hier keine Ausgangssperre, bei uns heisst es Kontakt Verbot. Aber auch hier natürlich alles auf ein Minimum beschränkt. Einkaufen und Arzt aufsuchen ja, der rest nein.
Leider habe ich mir eine Bronchitis eingefangen und die Lymphknoten entzündet. Dem Rest der Familie geht es aber gut.
Netflix,Prime und Disney Plus gibt es ja zum Glück. Spielen geht leider nicht so viel, wegen der Familie. Aber man kann ja auch shoppen. Hab mir eine neue Razer Viper bestellt. Wir machen halt das beste daraus.
Wünsch euch allen gut durch die Zeit zu kommen.

Hi
Unfortunately in my job it is not possible to run a home office. At the moment I am on leave and we hope to be back at work here from about 20 April at least, in shorter periods.
Apart from that it is still quite ok here in Germany. We don't have a curfew here, we have a contact ban. But also here of course everything is kept to a minimum. Shopping and visiting the doctor yes, the rest no.
Unfortunately I caught a bronchitis and my lymph nodes became inflamed. But the rest of the family is fine.
Netflix,Prime and Disney Plus are available. Playing is not possible because of the family. But you can also shop. I ordered a new Razer Viper. We just make the best out of it.
Wish you all good luck getting through time.

In France the COVID pendemic is growing day after day, it's been ten days since the start of the containment, it's starting to get a bit hard for my wife and my children locked at home while i still go to work as usual.
Especially when you see no improvement, telling you that this statement will go on for quite some time.

Stay strong everyone and as much as possible stay at home, protect others and yourself above all.

Right now, working from home until April 3rd. I work in IT, and specifically as part of a "(Cloud) Services" team at an MSP. So it has some benefits. One being in that IT Services will still be needed. Especially as organizations migrate to work from home and to operating ... "in the cloud." I spent yesterday building out an image in AWS Workspaces for my NOC.

One of our groups hosted a "virtual" happy hour on Friday, but I didn't get to see how that went since I was stuck on a 10.5h troubleshooting call until 2:30am. At least I was already home and on the call.

My wife doesn't work, and my daughter is only 2.5 years old, and she loves having me home. Comes to see me when I am working when she first gets up in the morning, and when she goes down for a nap.

I have worked from home during extended periods of time, but never found the need for video chats. I have one remote worker who I know by the sound of his voice, having never met him in person or seen him before (aside from his security badge photo).

We have been trying to share aspects of our life in our company wide Teams channels. we shared photos of our WFH setups. It is fun to see how many people you know are gamers in their spare time because of SteelSeries mice/keyboards, or Razer Storm Trooper mice mats.

My advice: Keep in contact with your co-workers the same way you would if you were physically in the office (though I know this isn't possible for non-office workers, but you can text them random things throughout the day).
