  • For me at least, the worst part of all of this is wanting to help out others in the community, but not feeling like I can because I'm in such a perilous situation myself. I know I'm certainly not alone in feeling that way.

    For sure. I think the best thing we can do is be kind, supportive, go out of our way to do the "small" things when we can, etc. It's tough for everyone.

    @nolalady I’m glad it’s not just my grandparents! My Grandma is an 84 year old extremely social diabetic with a failing pacemaker.... you think that combo keeps her from wanting to pick the kids up and take them to closed movie theater, yeahhhhh

    @Tys1 My MIL is 69 and she was astounded that a 71 y/o died from this virus. She told me, "That's so young!" And I didn't have the heart to tell her that 71 is not young. It is old and so is she. I really don't think they get it. I'm keeping my kids away from you to keep you safe. They think I'm the crazy one.
    Looking for a job as the economy collapses and the city/country grind to a complete halt is...not ideal.

    I mean, at least I already knew I was losing my job before all of this. Unfortunately, a lot of folks are being (or will be) blindsided by finding themselves out of a job as this rolls on. I'm just very concerned about what will be available employment wise, as companies go through some hard times financially. And I'm also worried that my current job might end sooner than expected. Good times.

    I can't imagine dealing with office closures just to get the interview! Hope it gets better for ya.
    Pardon my French, but Jim Bakker and Alex Jones can take their coronavirus preventing snake oils and toothpastes, and they can fuck right off. The last thing we need out there now is more disinformation and preying upon the elderly who are understandably on edge.
    I'm not sure there has ever been a movie I've changed my opinion on more over time than "The Darjeeling Limited". In a positive way.
    Shoutout to the El Campo, TX water tower making a brief appearance in the ZZ Top Netflix documentary via some vintage home movie footage. It's the small town that my parents are from.
    SXSW has been cancelled. Going to be a rough financial hit for the city, and so many workers that count on it to meet numbers for the year. But importing people from all over the world probably isn't the best thing at the present time.
    Dear Spotify Release Radar,

    Next time, maybe throw in a buffer song in between a new Sparks song and a new Willie track. Thnx!

    I caught some of the INXS episode of Rock Legends earlier this evening. Those mini-docs aren't very well done at all, but it was a nice reminder of all the hits that band produced in their prime years.
    Brandi Carlile episode of Austin City Limits from last season re-airs this weekend. Check your local PBS listings for airtimes.
    Dear Ticketmaster...I hope you die a hundred deaths.

    I can't count how many bands I've missed simply because I refuse to buy anything from those assholes.

    I'm guessing ACL Live switched to them as part of the Ryman team buying them? Never had issues when they were using TicketFly. In addition to their general shittiness, the Ticketmaster site is effing horrible. I thought I had secured seats in the Mezz, but somehow I wound up with GA in the Mezz. These were a birthday present for my Mom, and dad won't be able to stand through the show. Now trying to cancel the order.

    The daily shitshow that is the United States of America has me returning to my Kathleen Hanna playlist more frequently than ever for cathartic listening.

    Ugh, what did the cheeto do this time? Do I really want to know? Maybe ignorance is bliss.

    Just your daily dose of brazen corruption. I kind of feel we are well past the part in this mess where folks in other countries would be out in the streets for mass protests. But, you know, The Masked Singer is really heating up. Soooo......
    Interview is in the books. Went well. We'll see how things go. Question for those recent job seekers in next post.

    You know what I hate about the interview process? I really hate that moment where things seem to be going well enough that you unconsciously start answering (and asking) questions in a way that kind of assumes you are getting the job. And then you become aware that you are doing it, and it gets in your head. That line between confidence and over-confidence can become razor thin really effin' quick.

    The other part of the problem is elderly voters. They generally vote stupid, so the good folks need to come out in force.
