So, we've got a few Christmas trees coming through at work. Must be on sale at this time of year or summut. As for crunching for Einstein@home I've got a tablet and two phones that can't chat with the servers over there. Internets OK though.

[edit] PS could one of the head honchos unlock this thread as apparently i don't have enough RAC or Credit to report it to teh moderinos :)[/edit]

Are you, a loved one or a friend suffering from lack of workunits? Is your RAC plummeting to levels where pretty soon you wont be able to post? Then this dear friends is your chance for a last word before it happens. Have a gripe? Plonk it here. Have a thanks? Plonk it here. Have some tinfoil hattery nonsense about how Seti@Home has discovered a signal and is going into "hibernation" to keep it under wraps? Plonk it here.

My local living area is under “semi” lockdown. Some businesses are starting to have limited reopening. I didn’t feel the lockdown because of being one of those “Essential jobs”. Going to work everyday with some covid changes is all I have to do. Just wish Walmart was open when I got off work. Just getting essentials is a bit more difficult at 4:15am for now. I hope there is no to almost none second wave of this covid as they predict. So everyone try to keep healthy in body and mind.

Yeah there's been a few changes at the place I'm at.

The good:

(i)Separate entrance and exit at start/end of shift.
(ii)2 meter markers all over.
(iii)Plentiful hand sanitizer.
(iv)Bathrooms cleaned waaaayyyyy more often.
(v)We got surgical masks this week.
(vi)Signing paperwork that says you can work side by side or back to back no problem. If you're facing each other you have to be two meters apart.

The bad:
(i)The separate entrance is ignored by the people who work "upstairs".
(ii)When entering and exiting the shop floor you'll get an earful about maintaining social distance. Other than that, nothing.
(iii)Nobody's tried to get drunk on it yet :(
(iv)I'm actually happy about that and i shouldn't be.
(v)Including myself a total of three people are wearing them correctly. And my ears hurt.
(vi)Egads.

And of course, to end with some entertainment :)

@Betreger and Wiggo Yeah I miss nights out with my drinking chum. On the good side of that she lives just a minutes walk from my place so I gave her my other PMR radio so we can chat while having a few at home :) And with it being Saturday night that's what I'm doing as of the time of this post, she says hello everyone:)

@Gary Yikes, hope you haven't caught it off them.

@Betreger Thanks for the pic of the murder hornet, the only thing I can think of is fire. Lots of it. And then add some more. In fact add all the fire you can just to be sure.

Are you at home going ever so slightly crazy?

Are you a key worker going ever so slightly crazy?

Living life are you going ever so slightly crazy?

Then this is the thread for you! Tell us your highs lows and anything in between.

To start us off I have the pleasure of training some of the new people who start at the sortation center i work at. This involves manual sorting of items that are pretty heavy. Over the last two months only three people have stayed on. The rest did one shift and never returned.

This might make me appear to be a bad trainer (definitely) but i think it has more to do with having to carry stuff weighing 20-30KG for an entire shift (8-11hrs)and now with COVID, the issue of working in very close quarters with other people.

So, to end this post, how are you my dearest Setizens?

A Seti@home 25th anniversary tee shirt?

To be honest I've no idea when that is :(

How about we draw squares from a toilet bowl?

Post it squares? Since loo roll is EXTREMELY valuable at the moment.
