DWC- Interesting. The local tv media which is in that's system's pocket didn't report on being the back-up to potential to the front lines, just reported the "bonus". I take it your wife probably works in "elective surgery" type of a department. My wife has been on short-term disability from there so haven't heard all of those behind-the scenes things going on. I'm sure her unit would probably be pulled in as back-up if its gets bad here but then again, people were still propagating 9 months ago so some one still needs to take care of those folks. Yeah, we'll see if any Armed Forces temporary field hospitals get set up here. Hope it doesn't gets to that level...

P.S. A is not too far behind S when it comes to their bottom line, they're just a bit less aggressive, in-your-face to ther employees but to the public sugar sweet about it. Between the two of them, they write a more paychecks in this state than anyone else.

tiguy go file for unemployment. you were laid off due to Covid and they're not picky about paying. I don't agree with it and I wish I was laid off right now I'd make far more.

Even the non-elective is down significantly at least for the system I work for. Technically most of the departments are open other than the outpatient surgery department. Those nurses are doing the screenings to get into the buildings but still not enough for all of them to get their full hours. The departments that are still open are getting a lot of books read right now.

I'm still working. 12hrs today 16 the last 2 and probably tomorrow. I'm glad to be working an know I'm blessed with my great job, so feel guilty that I wish I could get layed off a few months.. I could get so much completed at the farm and we are having such nice weather to get it done. Greener grass on the other side of the fence and all.
But I sure could get my high tunnel put up and 1900' of water line ran for grazing, maybe even get a little fence in.

Probably could get away with it at one place but I'm waiting for the electricians to finish their rough-in and they ain't coming. And the inspection agency is shut down, I need a framing inspection as soon as the plumbing, electrical and mechanical rough-ins are done before I can proceed. They do all those inspections at one time. So...

The other two places the owners are running scared and don't want me there.


Eh...wot?

Out of work as commercial pilot. Receive monthly US Mil retirement check so we'll be fine. Definitely cutting expenses though. Statewide travel ban starts today. It will be tough for college student son to find job around here come summer. Company is putting together shopping service for bush communities so we should pick up a little business eventually operating freight only charters. Lean times but we'll be fine.
