I finished my contract job on Friday, and start a new gig on the 23rd, so I have 2 weeks off. It has been nice so far, and I expect to be bored next week. But, as a contractor, you get no PTO, so I haven't had but a few days off since September.
With all the panic about the corona virus, workers are encouraged to stay home if sick. But, if you are a contractor, you don't get paid for a sick day. I tried to code a day as sick...and you can't use a sick day until you've been there for six months. That policy should be effective for the prevention of the spread of the coronavirus, huh?
I am watching the news and they are showing the cruise ship docking in Oakland and the infected patients de-boating. I was going to make a comment about all of them going to San Francisco and taking a dump on the street, but this blog is better than that, right?
I was hoping to get to Florida to visit my mom before I start my new gig, but I have a cough and don't want to infect her. I imagine if you cough on a plane these days they make an emergency landing and kick you off. crazy times....
I sometimes check the number of views this blog gets, and where the viewers are from. Looks like I have a reader in Turkmenistan, as most of the views of late are from there. To my Turkmenistanian reader, I salute you. or maybe it's a bot that is hitting the blog. I prefer to believe I am building up a fan base in Turkmenistan. Please spread the word over there about my geniusness.
