City and County of Denver going with shelter-in-place or something like it. I think effective 5:00 P.M. on 3/24. Press conference going now. Hopefully, they'll actually post the order so I can read it.

EDIT: Fucking media mostly asks questions about weed shops and liquor stores ...

Shows what I know. Within two hours after issuing it, he changes his mind and decides that liquor stores and weed shops are "essential". https://www.denverpost.com/2020/03/23/liquor-stores-dispensaries-closing-denver-shelter-in-place/

Saw 3 cars during my 15 mile commute this morning. About 80% of our staff are working remotely, 10% will be on layoff after the 80 hours of paid leave, and 10% are on site.

We're committed to keep paying for health insurance for all for 3 months even if they're laid off. We may be about broke by then but that's another matter.

We can't completely shut down because clients can walk in and too many of them are on serious psychotropic meds, although hardly anyone has shown up.

Had a meeting this morning at work or whether or not our 5-man IT contractor team could telecommute. Basically since the Navy can't/won't open up our servers to the outside world other than VPNs, and we can't VPN with government-issued laptops, and there aren't enough laptops to issue to us, we can't...but luckily we were deemed "essential enough" to continue to come in. Had we been held to the strict definition of "mission-essential" we would've been locked out of the building and essentially laid off since we can't telecommute. I wouldn't want to work from home anyways...

my wife is an absolute prison warden with the kids compared to me. My usual answer when they ask for something is go for it, but if mom catches you you’re on your own. I showed her this, she is putting this together even as I write this. It sucks for the kids but fuck ‘em. The more she’s on their asses the less she’s in mine.

We just finished one of these, and I have one on the way for my nephews who live nearby: Mail Order Mysteries
It’s a fun sort of interactive story by mail, with a series of packages (from the “Int’l HQ of Info” in Canada so that’s fun that they’re often all marked up by Customs) that somehow involve your kid(s) in some mysterious story. Anyway, it’s really well done.
