So, life goes on. I GUESS??? The whole thing still mostly just feels real surreal to me, and I am starting to seriously think that having been through the fire might be an asset, here. I keep reading people's feelings of stress and fear and uncertainty for the future and thinking 'wow, yeah, that's exactly how it felt, yeah' while continuing to feel pretty okay in the here and now? This is crazy shit, but I'm doing what little I can to protect myself and just sitting tight until it gets bad, so idk. Definitely feeling a little bit of quarantine FOMO, like I could be catching up on so much shit if I wasn't still at work, but continuing to get paid through all of this is definitely preferable, so I know that's silly.

The parts department appears to have built an elaborate labyrinth out of boxes of windshield wiper fluid in order to corral customers at appropriate distances.

I think by far the strangest thing about social distancing in customer service is how not a single person has yet commented on it? It's this awkward, uncomfortable back-and-forth dance when most of my job involves handing people things and being handed things in turn, but nobody has yet actually said anything about it aloud, just silent acknowledgments in those conspicuous spaces between us that this is a thing we do now. Wild.

Also, I'm real into All Elite Wrestling now for some reason. Onto the movies!
Cookie, A Song is Born, Up in Arms, The Piano, Light Sleeper, The Connection; To Sir, with Love; Ornette: Made in America, Take Me Out to the Ball Game, The Kid from Brooklyn, Seven Days in May, Tongues, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Black Panther )

I highly recommend everyone play this little Plant Daddy game for a spell. It's very soothing, and you can just keep it open in a tab forever.
