NFT: Who is still going to work?

She is a physician so pretty obvious (she expects surge soon in bay area)
I am a CPA so there is always a deadline (hence "essential")

Walk from home, doing residential designer and drafting. Typical day, here, more or less.
So far one client have been okay to proceed to a point the plans are ready for permitting and construction. Then once things pick back up, they will be good to go. Revising and tinkering with the floor plan and elevation on a second project. No one is hollering for anything, but no one has said stop either. Trying to get plans to a billable stage.

Wife still going into the office as she is HR. Thing is she could be working remotely. She has a office to herself and only one other closed office near by. Thankful to that. Adhering to basica practices and staying to ourselves.

Time to walk the dog and back to it. Not for seeing many new projects in a month or so. Time will tell.

Hang in there y'all.

in downtown Denver. Essential business. We are in the process of getting laptops and dual monitors to work from home but it is taking forever.

On the plus side, there is zero traffic and they shutdown the parking meters for 30 days so I can park a half a block from my building in the middle of the city. Also, out of the 52 stories in my building we are the only group still here and they dispersed us around the open space on the floor until we go remote so I have not been concerned.

But where I work everybody has their own office and we have a parking lot in front of the building that belongs to just our office so I am likely more of a risk staying in my 600 square foot apartment and walking the hallways for exercise than I am going to my office.

Non essential can’t do work from home. Thankfully gf is wfh.

I am on maternity but still do 5-10 hours a week

Grateful to be working but its stressful. I suspect as the numbers rise our wing of the hospital will be converted to treat covid patients, in which case Ill be laid off. Have a little money set aside but not a ton, enough for 3 months or so of mortgage/bills. Stressful but in truth its a better position than most. Strange days man, strange days. Stay safe everyone.

Last time i was in NYC was March 4th

they are getting me equipment to work from home but i DO NOT WANT TO WORK FROM HOME

the thought of that is horrifying.


One of my coworkers son is getting tested now, if that kid ends up positive i'm fooked

The factory I work at is essential. I WFH the first half of the week, and go on-site with my wife (same company) the latter half.

Switched to all days from home ~ three weeks ago. I'm still supposed to go in if a system breaks down that needs me to be hands on.
So far no need but if it comes to that I could probably be in and out of the data center without seeing anyone else.

Got a recommendation for an advanced beginner set of irons? I have an ancient set of Tommy Armour 845's - grips are worn and heads are nicked. Probably 30 years old.

Depends on how much you want to spend. Shoot me an email if you like and I can help narrow it down for you.

You definitely need to get out of those old 845’s though.

I have been working from home for better part of a year as they have downsized the space in our office and I volunteered to work from home.

So no real change of habits or pace. Business is at times crazy and quiet depending on the hour.

I wish you all well! We are a wonderful community here at the BBI!

but only orthopedic emergencies. Infections and non elective surgeries. Not bringing in any staff. Just the physicians to keep staff safe. God, I hate calling people from the waiting room into a treatment room :)....just kidding....somewhat :) (in truth, not using waiting room so that people aren't around others. They are going right into treatment rooms directly).

essential. Luckily I am taking a lot of vacation days scheduled before this started due to retirement in a couple of months. So, only working 3 days a week.

so still working regular schedule.

my staff and I all have laptops and have been and will remain working at home until this situation clears up.

I'm an anesthesiologist, and we're only doing emergency surgeries. But after the ICU staff goes down, we have the most critical care experience, so I'm expecting to get called to the ICU sometime soon. :-(

Basically all we are doing is telling our clients to be patient and prudent that this will pass. I sure sure as $hit hope it passes sooner than later.

As a PM for a custom builder in Naples FL.

I'm in my basement working so much that I'm thinking of changing my name to Igor (eye-gore?).

I own an ambulance company so there's that! :)

How long is this social distancing supposed to last? My Wife keeps trying to come in the house.

:-)

Sorry I couldn't upload the photo.

Wife is essential, and is at work.

lol. Very good sir.

The organization that oversees us deemed us mission essential. However our base closed down all flight operations so we're stuck in limbo until one of them gives in.

.

Treat dental emergencies. Had about 15 today. Need to keep these patients out of the ER

In long term care. Three residents have passed away in the last two days. This is no joke

.

We are essential. Had to shut down one of our stores this week for the time being, but plugging along OK.

Today was a little rough, first day of Stay Home Advisory in MA. I expect slow days until Fri/Sat.

I am a cabinetmaker, lucky to have a nice shop in my basement in PA. So things haven't changed much. New construction home I am doing a large bar and wall unit for has no one living there yet so I can come and go to do installation, taking obvious precautions. Some other small projects I can catch up on. Getting material is another story. That is drying up quickly as places close. Will probably be dead in the water in 2-3 weeks. (I know, bad wording there...)

Super busy, tons of conference calls/ video conferences. I suspect the to-do list will be exhausted in a week or so. But I thought so last week and we're still busy a week later, who knows.

I have is now that everyone is working from home, a lot of people request we turn video on.

So, now I have to wear pants and make sure I'm presentable.

My company announced today everyone will work from home until end of April and be reassessed then. (original date was end of March)1500 employees worldwide.

Outside technician, phone and Internet. Business as usual for us.

We’re obviously more important to society than “nons”.

There will be no living with us after this is over.

Our Manufacturing plant is open as we are a critical manufacturer. All travel is basically done however. Nothing but phone/email for at earliest 2 weeks

Our office is closed because the VA administration building where it is located is closed.

Everyone is working from home and just asking someone to pickup the office mail from the post office gets people angry enough to committed murder.

I’m pulling what’s left of my hair out because my 10 yr old son wants to take the short road through his school work and my wife has early onset Alzheimer’s.

Seafood Manager(floater)
still working, got a 2$ per hour raise for the duration, and 25% in store shopping discount.

in a Brooklyn hospital.

I'm mostly a hermit anyway, other than volunteering at a local off broadway theater house, which is now shutdown for the virus. Live out in the country, so have no problem social distancing when outside.
The lab I retired from (semi-conductor/MEMs research) is still open, though, being deemed essential. Don't know how they managed to come up with that designation. The nature of research is that results are years in the making. Nothing that demands staying on for a couple weeks while the world is trying to save itself.

But also travel every week. Been home now more than i have ever. Feels strange not to be in airports

Infectious disease doc. Covid just starting here in west mi . IAm spending e more time in meetings drafting pathways than ID like . Amazing how many iv drug abusers and others still have infections that do not defer to covid . Seriously - not buried yet - but I fear coming .

Clearly essential in these times and especially before Passover for Jews...

health professionals tackling this thing head on, putting yourselves at risk of infection daily.

Huge, huge props to you guys and gals.

fortunate enough to still be working during these rough times as I work for a lab, so yes, we are essential. Would I mind being quarantined? Not at all but I also like money. Stay safe out there BBI.

We were work from home 60% of the time before, now 100%. Biggest change for me is having teenagers stomping around the house bored off their asses.

the last 2-3 weeks have been nuts. now that everyone is mostly settled I go in about half the day to do some physical stuff thats hard to do from home.

This. Can't say it enough! Thanks to all on the front lines of this mess.
