I just figured out my commission info is being figured with me at $14/hr. And so my pay rate hasn't been adjusted and I am going to talk to HR and the store manager today for clarification and make sure afustments are made. I don't know why I didn't realize this earlier but I've been struggling to figure out why I was doing so badly when previously I'd be at a point where I was ok with similar weekly sales.

I got clarification. They never dropped my hourly and the HR manager had forgotten completely about the conversation I had. I didn't directly talk to the store mgr because he was right there. They can pad the non productive hours but I am still looking at possibly getting no commission.

I know I won't going to FL in April but I think I'll keep the time off and isolate then.

We've made the decision to keep ltc out of school for a couple weeks. She's in preschool. So, she won't be missing much. TCG's job is closing down to the public, and he only works with a few people. So, hopefully that will limit risk. I'm going to pause grandparents visiting for a couple of weeks too. Hopefully we have enough books, toys, crafts, and baking projects to keep us busy for a while.

That sounds like a good plan, sj.

I'm going to have to decide whether to go back and visit my dad on his birthday next weekend. He's still healing, I have to discuss a lot of stuff with my sisters and him about his future care. Gah.

I don't think I'll cancel unless I'm exposed or showing symptoms. I can essentially make the drive my my driveway to his without stopping anywhere.

I really want to ask my dad to take the next 2 weeks off work. He works in a freaking Kroger, where a bazillion people come in and out, so it's a petri dish. He's 78 years old and has heart disease and diabetes. He should NOT be working right now.

t edit He doesn't need to work, financially, although he likes the extra money. He's just like a border collie who needs something to keep him from being bored as a retired dude. But a 2-week break wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for him.

Teppy, your dad definitely needs to take a little vacation.

You can ask him, Steph, knowing he might say no.

I concur. He should stay home for a couple weeks.

COVID-19 is really starting to explode in Spain, Germany and France.

The death count in Spain has tripled in a couple days.

At least they have the example in Italy to let them shut everything down now.

On top of everything else I am pretty sure I have a UTi or it's the interistial cystis flaring up or both.

Based on the at home test I have it's a UTI and a pretty bad feeling one. I do have antibiotics from when I should have been taking a low dose daily. And based on looking at my pharmacy records (yay the Internet) I should have enough for what they would prescribe me.

I can't really afford to go to the doctor anyway so I'm doing this.

At least I'm not at work and miserable.
