San Antonio

A is the one by my house

 

Did they just a pipeline down through there

 

FINALLY! I hate driving through Fredricksburg because of all the semis.

And tourists.










And locals for that matter.

 

Necessity is the mother of invention, right? So because we aren't supposed to go out or gather in groups, out of necessity, how many jobs just became at-home or remote? Office space just became obsolete. Think of how much even a small company could save without having to run an entire office. No more building leases, office sized electric and water bills, building maintenance, INSURANCE... the list is endless. The idea that everyone needs to be in the same office building just got proved to be archaic and antiquated because we are already just as closely connected by technology. The cubicle is dead.

Obviously many jobs will not make the transition, but I feel like the surge of jobs at home will stay at home. More people will be working in a nice shirt and underwear.

 

I believe NPR spoke about this recently. Or maybe I spoke about it in my head...

 

And all that money saved, nobody got a raise

 

Its on the other side of 290

 

Yep.
Prices won't drop either.

 

Not as long as there are middle managers and supervisors! And the higher ups demand that buffer.
I wonder more how many non-essential folks won't be welcomed back.

 

Did whoever was looking for .380 find it? I have a few boxes I'd be willing to sell. The good - it's brand new in the box. The bad - aluminum cased and I know that some people don't like it. Edited with pictures.

 

I have already thought that, my job will flex between both, as I still need time in the field to validate. I won’t say the cubical is dead but the number will be greatly reduced, offices can get smaller as not everyone will be there at the same time to hold conferences etc. I heard the governor stated that schools etc are to remained closed until April 30th...

Don’t care about casings, how much you want for each box?

 

I'd have 10 boxes and would be happy with $15 for each one but my price isn't set in stone.



EDIT.... 5 boxes are spoken for 5 available.

 

Pm sent

 

Popular sport in Europe, spreading here as owners buy out US owners, the "open office". You really don't get a cubicle, just a desk that is open. First come, first served. The brutality calms down after a bit. Just visiting, sit where ever you can find....There are open meet areas, vending. Need a conference room and phone, you book in advance. Copies are all logged to your ID card.
By the time I was gone, no individual plant had an HR anymore, all corporate, all the "paperwork" on computer programs, including time cards...
Anyway, sounds too dystopian to me.
Here's to middle management!

 

I honestly wouldn't mind having smaller office spaces with a sort of rotating schedule of who would be working in person vs remote.

Edit:I understand that this wouldn't work across all jobs and businesses, I am generally speaking of office type work

 

My wife's school just extended to May 4th

 

I hope everyone is doing well down there.

 

Well, I think we're all Covid free, and most of us have toilet paper. We're all supposed to stay at home though. How you doing?

 

I guess we're supposed to pretend this didn't happen in May
