By 10AM today I've done four oil changes, a tire rotation and a recall, to the tune of $400 (including what Toyota pays me for the recall), on five cars.

On top of that, my rental manager spent the weekend with someone whose husband is presumptive positive. I just sent her home to go get tested and sit out the 14 days.

Needless to say, people are freaking the fuck out here.
I need an oil change, alignment, and tire patched. I should come visit you.

My company is down $100/share in the last 30 days. I had a ton of money in RSU distributions for this month "disappear", so looks like I'm holding.

Screw this panic bullshit and the media spending 24/7 feeding the frenzy.

I got some groceries.

Our trip to Iceland next Sunday is seemingly out.

Mulling over cancelling my Utah trip Sunday. I'd like to go somewhere besides here for a few days but it's likely a bad idea, could end up trapped there.

They scheduled a town hall tomorrow over Skype, I'm thinking they will announce company-wide WFH.

Fuck all this doom and gloom, I think I will go take an extended lunch and ride my bike in the woods a bit.

We cancelled Tennessee next week and instead are going to hit some national parks in Ca, like Joshua Tree and Sequoia.. Also going to go back and likely lay a deposit down and setup an appointment to change the plans on a custom house in Utah that we want to have built. We went out to the area about a month ago and love it.

Wait, this the chick whose family is trying to break you up?
Her family is fine yes there's cultural hurdles but our issues are my fault. Something should have been small turned into something really big. I take the blame

You can tell us about it, if you want to talk about it. If not, no worries.
