I hope that everyone is doing well.
I met with a friend on Sunday to have a "social distance lunch". She sat on her porch and had lunch, and I pulled up with a folding chair and tray table, and unpacked my lunch, and we sat about 10 feet away from each other, and just caught up. It was nice.

And here I was, wondering what the hell an aquarium statue was.... or since when you have an aquarium… or… :laugh:
The rest of the sentence made it clear however ;D

Not much. Since I'm a higher risk person regarding Corona, my boss still lets me stay at home. There are more children now in daycare, but still a tiny fraction from normal, so she doesn't need all of us. I do have to work from home however, learning new stuff, reading textbooks, etc. Fine with me.
The time for our family vacation gets closer, and in a few weeks the decision is due as to whether we will be able to travel or not. We still hope for a Go, but hope gets thinner :-\

Hiya BetterMost friends.
I hope that everyone is doing well.
Another weekend is here!
I have a sense of accomplishment regarding work. I've been able to work on projects that allowed small businesses get the money they needed during the pandemic.
I'm working on a new project now, that is KYC related (Know Your Customer). It's related to all the businesses that got the PPP loans, and updating their information on our systems. Since this is something that I do on a regular basis, I'm very secure with the process.
I'm avoiding the news, but I do know what is going on in the US now. I'm seeing a lot of people who are posting about what happened to George Floyd and all the protests and riots taking place. I really haven't posted about it, because I feel like I'm not in a position to.
Do I agree with what happened to George Floyd? Absolutely not, and this type of thing goes on all the time. It's just that this time, it happened to be filmed. The US is a racist country, and I don't deny that. My heart goes out to the Floyd family at this difficult time, and it's only being made more difficult because of the riots.
That being said, as a member of the gay community, we have had our own experiences with the police, and done our own share of rioting as well. You can only push people so far before they snap. I have taken part in protests, but never in riots, and I'm fortunate that I've never had to.
Lastly, my younger brother is a police officer. I know he would never condone what was done to George Floyd. I've met a number of the guys on his force, and they all seem like decent people. That's why I feel like I can't really say anything, because I don't want my brother to think that I side against him. At the same time, I feel like that if I don't say how I feel about this matter, then my silence condones it.

Hiya BetterMost friends.
I hope that everyone is doing well, and happy hump day!
;D
Work has been going well, and lately I've been able to get all my projects done on time, and sign off at my usual time, so that's good.
Last night we had some thunder and lightning, which I enjoyed. It's doing the same thing now.
No plans this weekend, except maybe some cleaning around the apartment.
