Forrest ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think with the record number of claims, every state must be slammed. I still haven't received anything from PA in the mail, and my window to file closed on Friday. I've been calling the number and never get anything but a busy signal.
I'm hoping they'll get the backlog cleared soon, and in the meantime I just have to wait, I guess? In other words, I feel you, askye. Unemployment benefits aren't easy to navigate normally, and right now they are completely snarled.
Less than a half hour after I wrote my "no wind here" post, the wind CAME ON -- skidding lawn furniture around, and on the short drive I have home, I saw two major branches down off of trees with the DPW crews attempting to deal.
In case anyone wants to practice up for the virus test, take a Qtip and jam it up your nose as far as it goes... then push it in further.
Well, OK, I've had much worse dental and medical procedures that were MUCH more painful. It was me mostly going nononoNOno=eek-eek-ow, and a tech trying not to laugh.
We've had heavy rain - torrential downpour type rain - but it's coming in waves. It'll be sunny and then, not too long after, the rain's so heavy the air's almost opaque.
Timelies all!
Mr. S's PEP teacher sent a link to some educational games and such, and he's been playing them on and off. Of course, with his tendency towards getting frustrated easily, it's been a mixed bag of results.
So is there a special technique to wearing masks without fogging up your glasses?

Supposedly, fold down the top, or put some tissues in between the mask and your cheeks, next to your nose. I've been making ones that have a pipe cleaner sewn in at the top, so that you can mold it to fit right against your face, and that seems to help a lot.
There's been some rumors about furloughs here. No one knows what will happen fall semester.
I've been planning on using this summer to start up a genealogy business. Probably should get started on that. Though this is also a really bad time to be starting a business for non-necessities.
I can't believe I put returning to work in May it seemed so far away and now it' seems like I should have put Aug. I don't know . I guess worst case I get denied and have to appeal. I'm trying not to to think about it too much. The stimulus check will help a bunch and the help I've gotten from buffistas has been good.
Although if this goes into August then I guess I'll be out of a job completely. And I still haven't been able to get in touch with the HR manager at work about the W2 info I need. I'm going to call the store manager tomorrow.
Hil, think of it as starting a business that serves people who have sudden extra time on their hands, not as a business for non-necessities. And if you're able to get it going while it can still be a side thing (whether that's before furlough or a furlough doesn't come), the risk is much less.
