How many other "essential personnel" are hanging out on BBI between shifts?
I'm still covering my shifts at the lab, despite the fact that were in a "min safe" configuration with pretty much everyone working from home.
We're running the entire accelerator for one experiment which is, as you might expect, related to COVID-19. Normally we have dozens of experiments going on at the same time.
Even if we shut down the accelerator, I'm still going in to work because we need to keep an eye on things and monitor systems.
So, what are you guys up to?
I feel extremely lucky though.
If anyone does programming/developing IT work feel free to reach out to me.
my wife is in healthcare, she's working (obviously?).
the list of "essential" professions in Massachusetts is about 80 pages long.
My company is not affected as we are involved with the medical, food and chemical industries.
My girlfriend works administration at two hospitals in town so she is working as well.
Streets are pretty much empty. My two kids are going stir crazy at home and it was announced yesterday that the schools will remained closed until at least May 1st. Ugh..... At least my son's college is supposed to start some government mandated online classes so he can finish his semester.
The days are crazy but they feel productive and they are flying by.
I'm out cold by 9pm every night.
Flame away
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.
I am a CPA so there is always a deadline (hence "essential")
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.
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.
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
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.

We are closed but offering “Buy Online, Pickup Curbside”, so I’m going in everyday to fulfill orders.

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.
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!

Sorry I couldn't upload the photo.

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