On top of everything else, we just had a pretty decent sized earthquake this morning. Reportedly 5.7. Aftershocks are still going on right now.

Interesting to hear this in your area Gregg.  Any damage or just rumbling?

Reports are still coming in, but yes some highway and building damage downtown.

I never expected that in your area.  Everything oh with your house?

Hope you and your family are ok.

2020 is still finding ways to make things worse, and we still are in the first 3 months of the year.

First day of working from home indefinitely. I can get used to not commuting. My DTF posting should increase.

Everything is fine with the house, thanks for asking. The dog is being a big wimp and won't come in the house without being tempted in with a treat, then he runs right back outside.

We actually live on a huge fault line, The Wasatch Fault. It's what has given us our spectacular mountains.

Interesting about your dog, maybe he senses another one coming?  I understand animals have some good instincts with stuff like that.

No more aftershocks (that I felt) since yesterday afternoon. Hopefully, that's the end of it.

You are correct, good sir. Nothing like a mortal threat to get the life affirming urges going.

So... California is shut down. All none critical businesses forced to close.

My company falls within the threshold of critical. Sweet!

They are transitioning to a work at home model for the foreseeable future starting tomorrow.


Well, they only have the capacity for a certain amount of people in my dept to work from home. I am the newest and least experienced (technically still in training. I don't get to work from home. Instead, the 3 newest people in my dept were laid off until they start working from the office again. I expect it to be a while.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

I was told I 100% have a job when things calm down.

In the mean time, I'm trying to apply for unemployment.... But the website is overloaded.

Hey I don't have any reason to shave for a while. I can get my beard going for my return :lol

I finally got my claim in. The governor is waiving the initial 1 week waiting period for claims. Hopefully I get processed in a semi decent amount of time.
