HAYIT - How Are You Isolating Today.
-
So with all this prepping and people going nuts, we were left without any change for our cash registers… Although most people pay with their card, there are always the few persistent ones who refuse to use a card...
Anyway: banks are open, right?.. Usually I go once a week, Thursday morning, to the bank to get some change... Never an issue... Yesterday my collegue decided to go, as we needed a lot more than usual, and she had her car... Cool... She comes back emptyhanded... The bank was open, but the separate booth for us wasn't... We had to make an appointment ànd THEY TOLD US THEY WEREN'T ACCEPTING CASH MONEY. THE BANK ISN'T ACCEPTING CASH MONEY.
Anyways: my chef makes the appointment for today, and tells 'm to credit the company's account... My other collegue had to then pick up the money this morning... I was there, picking up a videogame that had been delivered... I see her leave, and just as I'm about to go back home, she's already back... emptyhanded... They told her they didn't know anything about the appointment, and she didn't have power of attorney to access the company's account et cetera...
HOLY FUCKING COW... WHERE'S THE FUCKING HIDDEN CAMERA BLOOD??????
It only took one very poignant mail followed by an absurdly short phone call by me to the bank to rectify the situation... Collegue hopped back on her bike and was off again... Succesful return this time...
More bank-related nonsense... Got a notification saying my online banking account wasn't going to be accesible anymore soon, due to me using Windows 7... Since I'm also doing the banking transactions for my mom, I decided to update to Windows 10... It's a fucking cow, BUT after a year of having worked with both a broken mouse and a broken keyboard, I plugged in one of two I had bought earlier but could't get to work with Windows 7, and it nows recognises my brandnew, cordless toys!.. Didn't even have to download owt...
Anyway... Long story short...

I get to go to work. Thank goodness. I don’t sit still very well and the weather here is still lousy.

As a matter of interest, those of us with kids in countries where schools are shut, is there digital teaching, e-learning etc being provided by the schools?
Our son is almost 5. He will still be going to school as my wife and I are key workers. His school have done what many in the UK are doing, preparing online home learning kits. He will be doing the same learning program at school to ensure there is equity in all pupil's learning.
As a family we've developed a few activities to hold long term interest. Today we are going to the woodland behind our house to identify one part of it that we can monitor from spring through summer until this thing ends. We'll record any plant and animal life on that piece of woodland, and research our findings. Our son will love that as it will keep him stimulated.

Paula needs her cast off, but refuses to go to the hospital because of the associated risks. So she is self-helping…..
Epic fail ::)
We'll think of ways to work on this over next few days…
