I don't want to work anymore. Can someone cover my mortgage and bills for a few months while I do laundry and wash dishes? That would be swell.
Mal: He calls back, you keep them occupied. Wash: What do I do, shadow puppets?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Has any state unveiled a re-opening plan that prioritizes childcare? It boggles my mind how anyone thinks people can go back to work if their kids are still home all day!!
A friend just suggested to our friend with a five year old that they just drop her off at the zoo, since that will be open!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
there is no possible way we can have open without providing support for childcare.
Every day is bring your daughter (or son) to work day!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thanks everyone for the hand sanitizer stuff. I will PM you Cashmere, because that sort of seems the easiest.
We are "most likely" not having in person didactic education in the fall. This is so stressful. There are ways to do good online classes, but this is not it. If you are going online you need to plan for actual online education. And some things do not compute that way—- how do people conduct a health assessment that is in person while maintaining 6 foot distance!?!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, my governor also put out a roadmap for moving forward. It's pretty well 100% focused on what can open when, to the point that even under the final "new normal (No Disruption)" step, you still stay 6 feet away from people you don't live with. There's also a lot of real vague terminology "physical distancing and safe practices" vs "open with adjusted safe practices" vs "fully open with safe practices." Are those explained? No. But the graphics are real pretty, so it's fine.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

BWAH I would love that. "Here's $15 for lunch, say hi to the elephants for me see you in 6 hours!"

It would be educational.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
A number of years ago there seemed to be a wave of parents doing something like this - they'd drop their kids off at a library or toy store and then go on to do something they didn't want to haul the kids along for. This may have been the source of a sign I've seen reading something like, "unattended children will be given espresso and sent home with a puppy".

Being raised by the zoo can't be worse than being raised by wolves, right?

Depends on who, at the zoo, is doing the raising.
