Man, watching your kids morn the loss of a pet ****ing sucks. Especially the 6 year old who has only ever known life with said pet.
OT: And now we return to our regularly scheduled program

Yeah, that sucks.
My Golden, Mika, stayed with my ex when we got divorced.
I ended up taking him to the vet to be put down at the end. We had gotten Mika about a year before our oldest was born. So, all three kids had Mika in their life from birth.
That was so tough. But, it was time.
Thanks. We are fortunate that my wife makes enough that I don't have to work (but it certainly helps). Thankfully she hasn't had any extra hours yet, but the hospital is expecting it to ramp up at over the next few weeks. Lakeland is an older population, especially in the winter, so we'll see how it looks in a few weeks. I'm expecting it to be bad because the people have not been taking it that seriously. I was downtown a week after places starting shutting down and people were all over the place.

Time to call up Mitts! Here's hoping he has dedicated himself to keeping his thumbs busy and not wasting time with proper diet, exercise, and film study.

I mean in the grand scale of things its nothing, but due to the virus we have to postpone our wedding.
Sucks but oh well, way more people have been hit much harder by this mfer.

It still sucks.
My oldest likely won't get a lot of senior year stuff. He already lost his music department spring break trip. Who knows what will happen to graduation and other stuff.
My younger son's JV lacrosse season is likely gone.
Our mission trip to Rwanda likely won't happen this summer.
Who knows what will happen to my daughter's soccer season this summer.
All minor sacrifices in the grand scheme of things. But, it still sucks.

I've been working remotely the past week and a half and I have no idea how they'll be able to drag me back to the office after this.
It is inconvenient as hell since my internet at home is not fast enough to connect to the work computers, so I'm parked in the library lot half the time and in my buddy's side yard half the time, but I'm isolated from the office nonsense, I'm isolated from being jumped on by my kids (delightful, 5 and 2) and I've managed to get a lot done.
As an enthusiastic introvert, it's weird having a work day charge my mental energy batteries.

I’ve enjoyed working at home but I’ll be happy to get back to the office. Having to be isolated in my bedroom for my entire shift is annoying. Having other people around me in the office to make small talk with etc is nice. The hard thing to give up for me is, since I work 2nd shift I get to have dinner with the family when I work at home.

It has been 80% positive for me.
The only real downside is that it seems like there are boatloads more meetings which leaves me less time to actually get real work done.
My wife misses going into work way more than I do. The fact that my commute is 3x longer than hers might be a factor.
If I had a legit home gym, I wouldn't mind the lock down nearly as much as I am now.

I used to hate working from home because it was intermittent and I had trouble getting a routine and being fully productive. Though not having walk ups all the time was always a benefit.
After a few days when this started, I started to enjoy it a lot more. I got a routine down. Though I think a big part of it is the stress being reduced because most of our projects are on hold, so it's not a huge load anymore.
Got my OnePlus 7 Pro in the mail 2 days ago. This "flagship killer" is knocking my socks off with the 90hz refresh rate. Everything's so smooth compared to the old LG I was running
Officially a fan. Plus I paid 490~$ and the market value or the price on any other site I went to (other than EBay) was at least 665-1100$
Figured I'd upgrade with being the fact that mobile is my daily driver.
