ah I just have lots of people go "oh pilaf? Why are you buying that 99 cent junk when it's easy... just follow this recipe that takes an extra 20 minutes and $10 worth of groceries" so I'm always a bit defensive lol
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

I like the cheddar broccoli rice a roni
my dad fuckin' loves the chicken flavor, we ate that at least once a week when I was a kid
Airport has suspended all hiring (surprise). Hiring coordinator was really pleasant, asked about how I'm doing during all this, seemed like a great person.
Yeah hold on to your rice as best as you can. I haven't been able to find even basic basmati in my local winco lately. Pasta at least seems to get regularly restocked, but rice eludes me at the moment.
A couple of years ago, I bought a 25 (11.33kg) lb bag of rice at Costco. It may just last me the rest of my life.
started showing possible covid symptoms last friday
confirmed fever middle of saturday while we were doing a major power cut over so I had to abandon the other tech working
called state hot line and was denied testing
got shortness of breath on sunday, went to the ER, they said oxygen levels were fine, i had all the symptoms and no other explanation but they refused testing due to material shortage
told work, CEO didn't understand why they should treat it as if I had COVID-19, told them i'm on 14 day quarantine regardless
CEO and assistant manager want all dept heads in the office for part of each week because???
can't find laptops to help other departments do work from home

Christ stay safe Kadith, just in case if you have someone nearby who can get you to the ER if it gets worse, please do so. Stay strong and all the :bro: emojis for you.
I'm about ready to scream with the whitelisting I've been doing with the load balancer at work. It would be nice if a) people would listen to what I specifically request and b) other people don't step in to add their own two cents and confuse everyone.
Worked 12 hours today on a COVID extract for a dashboard. If I don't finish it tomorrow I'll have to work over the weekend. As to think, I had scheduled PTO for tomorrow because I'd run out of things I could do when there was a freeze on all non COVID related or emergency changes in prod.
At least my boss knows my PTO on the 10th is real and he can't touch that one.
My five year golf club is wedged behind one of my safes in my office.
Bonus- it's a wedge club.
I'm guessing your seven year driver is in your car?
He won't get that award until year ten.

Hey, I just wanted to come in here and say that we've been hauling ass and getting slammed at the same time.
My principle area of expertise is new client applications. We've had over half a million unique new IPs hit us in the past few days alone that's.. .unprecidented. Page views, applications, call numbers all just astronomical. Our call center hours of business have doubled, and we're still seeing call queues well into the night. We're even taking spill over and load from Healthline, just to help out where we can.
We've pushed a half dozen significant updates to Prod, and have two more scheduled for Sunday and Monday night. We're getting permissions to bring down Prod in the middle of the day to get updates while there's more client load on the system than ever before.
We've pushed out not one but 2 whole new products in the last week, which have already paid out $2.7 Billion ito over 400,000 recipients - a large proportion of which are new clients. And there's I-don't-even-know how many coming through the pipeline still, load after load and funnel after funnel, and we're trying to get that pipeline just as open as it can get so we can get to it all.
My team is putting in extra miles at the moment. We're doing our very best to haul ass while bringing nothing less than our A-game, we're doing our very best to support the rest of the organistion; we're helping them, and there's people helping us, and everyone is putting down some fucking fire to do this right.
It's been a fucking week, is what I'm saying, and we're doing our best to make each other - the country - proud. We're public fucking servants, and this week we're earning our fucking coffee. Even if the baristas are in lockdown.
Karl, we need you to coordinate the contingency planning for the programme.
Oh right, you mean the telecoms national infrastructure programme that's got loads of government focus because it's now categorised as critical national infrastructure?
Yeah that one
You wankers know it's Friday right?

If nothing else, perhaps this crisis will free us all from the tyranny of pants once and for all.
Next week was supposed to be spring break. It meant no work for me.
I have received an email telling my my support is essential, especially since we have no idea how this is going to look as we spin up a support process and service desk for families at home.
Normally next week is unpaid non-duty time. They promise they're going to give me paid days off before the end of the school year to make up for it. Paid days off during what's usually the busiest most deadline heavy part of the school year. Yeah, that's not going to happen.

So Austin declared shelter in place Tuesday and we’d already made a schedule to work from home some days keeping only 1 person in for each half of the work we do. But my company as a whole was declared essential.
So here my essential ass is, sitting at work, planning to play Animal Crossing all day. Glad I could get exposed to people for this.

WHO'S STUPID NOW?
It's basically lay off 80% of my employees to stay open.
Yay being an essential business

my main concern is trying to put in place resources and plans so that it doesn't rip through us because some folks aren't taking it seriously
The Wegmans on Rt.31 has a decent amount of rice and roni, normal rice, and some pasta left as of this evening.
I was picked to be next Friday and am games, books, recreational things. I need to send in a picture.
I’m thinking of sitting in a big chair in my basement, surrounded by Lego, wearing a VR headset and a three piece suit, while reading a book.
.....I've worked here for 8 years
its dated 2017
I got both my five and ten year pins in year 11. I didn’t even know they were a thing.
