:( I have to return to my normal coworkers in 2 weeks.

I was sure I was going to lose my job, but somehow I made it. Lots of people didn't though, so it is going to be wierd at the office for awhile. Lol, who am I kidding, the whole world is wierd right now.

Thanks for being my coworkers in the meantime even if you didn't want to be though! Special note to the shady character: some things are better left in the past. I think you understand.

Here is to a better future for all of us! (It is water, because I'm an alcoholic)
And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

Glad to hear about your job, Averia! :D That's great news!

Hopefully we can all return to some level of normality soon :)

We're entering stage 2 re-opening in Toronto (a week behind the rest of Ontario) so it means I can get a hair cut, and restaurants and bars can open up with reduced capacity but can make the most of their patios which we try to make the most of in our short summer!

So things are looking up! We just have to be cautious and hopefully all those impacted by losing their jobs are helped back into work and offered the right support!

By the sounds of it, everything is still pretty much a mess in Colorado. I haven't heard anything about my job, but I don't think things are opening super soon due to the recent surges in cases. Or at least that's my understanding of what's going on.

I can't read most of the news sites I normally do because of UK privacy laws and stuff.

I have no idea what's going on lol

But anyhow, I really miss my hat and I'm now a level 5 Aarokocra rogue in dnd as of last night. Woo fun.

It's also super hot here rn :c
Arrr! Only th' Devil an' I know th' where'bouts o' me treasure, an' th' one o' us who lives th' longes' should take i' all.

That is great to hear. And, the economic impact is going to naturally lag behind, and although I do think we will feel it, I don't think it is going to be worse than depression levels. Lots of people in the service industry are back to work, same with the automotive and other hard hit industries.

It looks like Colorado is holding at 200 new cases a day.

Also...

"Colorado is moving from the Stay-at-Home level into the Safer at Home level. While at this level, Coloradans are strongly advised to continue staying at home to the greatest extent possible, only interacting with your household contacts and only leaving for essential activities. At-risk individuals, such as people 65 and older, should continue to stay at home unless absolutely necessary. This new level also includes some changes for commerce. "

Here are the levels:

"Level 1: Stay at Home. Everyone is required to stay at home except for grocery shopping, medical care, exercise, and necessary activities. Only critical businesses are open.

Level 2: Safer at Home. Everyone is still strongly advised to stay at home. Critical businesses are open and non-critical businesses are operating with restrictions.

Level 3: Protect Our Neighbors. With more testing and monitoring, it will be safer for people to socialize more normally, while taking significant precautions. We will still need strong protections for higher risk individuals. "

You know you've been playing RS for a long time when your dad walks behind you while you're playing and says "RuneScape is still a thing?"

Haha, I finally talked to my estranged brother this last week and he said "like back when you used to play Runescape, is that even still around?"

Yeah, it's still a thing and us nolifers are still playing it.
