Who's unemployed now? Or doesn't have clients suddenly?
- clients are slowly disappearing each weekutopian
- Unemployed, but that happened in December.Continuity

I must confess, I haven't been on QBN in a loooooong time. It feels really different around here now. Very little design talk.
I got laid off from my job back in December and then this whole corona pandemic took over. Ive been in a crazy funk since then. The market for finding a new gig isn't looking too bright. Maybe time for a career switch?
I do miss the good ol' days of QBN. Hope to get re-inspired again soon. Hope all you guys are taking care. This world is in a spin.
- Welcome back:)utopian
- I'm in your shoes, too, desmo.
WB.Continuity - There is no design talk on here now as we all post stuff about the CCP virus even though we are designers and have no medical education.shapesalad
- ^^grafician
- I recently went waaay back in time through the QBN archives - there was an awful lot of non-design talk back in 2002 too.Nairn

Left my flat (apartment) earlier - we're ground floor in a three storey, three flat block - and bumped into one of our neighbours (who has already annoyed me in the past), who was exiting.
She was using small pieces of tissue to open the door lock to exit.
I kind of wanted to punch her.
Fucking wet millennials.
.
I'm taking two bottles of ispopropanol alcohol back to leave on the landing, for my neighbours, and think I'll take more in a spray bottle to leave in the hallway for people to use on knobs and handles and such.
Fucking wet millennials.
- Why not use tissue to open doors? There was a study a couple years back, more than 50% of people at kings cross station had shit on their hands.shapesalad
- traces of shit, after their hands were pressed into petri dishes.shapesalad
- If you're so mighty and strong, dare you to lick a supermarket trolley handle...shapesalad
- that's life, shape. life is shit - if not actually, then covered in a thin film of the stuff.Nairn
- And as for why not? Tissue's borderline useless for the task she'd set it - wear fucking gloves or sanitise The Thing in Your Own BuildingNairn
- I dunno - it just seemed like a useless, slightly pathetic, effortNairn
- Nairn the glove is useless, it doesn't protect you. The tissue is the best option, you could touch your face with your gloves but not so with the tissue.zarkonite
- and yeah, douse everything in sanitizer, that's my favourite option.zarkonite
- When I freelanced at rank offices, i used a tissue to pull open toilet door on exiting. some studios are yuk...shapesalad
- Don't waste isopropyl on a door handle. Get a squirt bottle and stick 1 part bleach to 9 parts water. Super cheap and kills everything.monNom
- Save the isopropyl for hand sanitizer. Mix with aloe gel or glycerol. Or make a moist towlette with some paper towel in a Ziploc.monNom
- I have 40 litres of the stuff, and iso doesn't ruin clothes like bleach! :)Nairn

Why aren't more people talking about bidets?
- maybe now isn't the best time to be inviting random tradespeople into your home to discuss expensive plumbing options because some people bought extraFax_Benson
- Toilet paper?Fax_Benson
- Well, because people finally realised this illness is respiratory, maybe?Continuity
- ^ You can install 'em yourself for like $50 off amazon and say goodbye to toilet paper forever!! Get with it sheeple!!BK
- Because toilet paper is totally fine.monospaced
- yeah nott too expensive to purchase, like $100 or so as an attachment. Only probem is that unless you're ok with cold water you'll need an outlet nearby._niko
- shhhhhhh!
we don't want to run out of supply and raise the price!pango

I just realised that I've had two glasses of wine each day 12 out of the last 14 days. Uh-oh.
- that's all?section_014
- 2 glasses a day? Start worrying when you're into 2 bottles a day...OBBTKN
- yup, bottles is when you start to worryrenderedred
- 2 glasses is usually just with lunch, no?Krassy
- You're skippin'!shaft
- whats stopping you at 2? be a winner! go further!pango
- don't do drgs regularly or your body needs it and your next step is bottle > then barrel.api
- You're fine. I'm on my 3rd bottle of Laphroaig for this week with numbers steadily rising.sausages

The in/out-laws live on a resort in Mauritius. Not as kushy as it sounds right now; small, developing island etc.
After a meatless couple of weeks they heard a local hunter was selling at the entrance to the resort.
They bought around twelve kilos of primo wild boar and venison cuts, all offed in the hills behind their house.

Talking by phone with parents (74 and 76yo) everyday, strong couple, still fit, nervous and worried, coz there are dying a lot of old people around, but they're doing well.
Isolated and confined for three weeks.
Public workers and voluntaries bring shoppings and meds to home.
Ouch! Miss a lot them now...
Get well yo!

A girl I know wants me to go over to her place this evening, ostensibly for 'a few drinks'. I'm so fucking tempted, but I also know it's a bit no bueno, as far as the lockdown rules go.
- And, to be fair, she had invited me during a convo last evening, after her own first bottle of wine, so ... I'm also kind of hoping she forgets about it.Continuity
- It's a trap!!Ianbolton
- My penis is ignoring you. :(Continuity
- penis fly trapFax_Benson
- Continuity, don't be so concerned. It's not like you're going to a concert with 10K sweaty people around you. Go have "a few drinks" :)NBQ00
- remember that
quarantine=cockblock...
few drinks might help resolving this issue.sted - No eating ass. That's a no-no just now.PhanLo
- This qualifies as essentialmisterhow
- Phan, you can't be a millennial without tossing a salad or two...robotron3k
- Well, she cancelled. Ironically, on account of an apparently staggering hangover.Continuity
- You getting ghosted already? ;)NBQ00
- Yeah, that didn't take long.Continuity

For the past 2 weeks a few of my friends jump on a zoom chat to catch up over a few beers on Thursday nights. It's really way more enjoyable than it sounds.
- zoom is sketchymoldero
- been using hangouts but curious about using discordmoldero
- Why do you say zoom is sketchy?stoplying
- Because it’s basically commercial malware that’s whymonospaced
- No encryption and they sell your data.monospaced
- Ha. Everybody sells my data. My data is the best.stoplying

It is refreshing to see old QBNr's and lurkers alike, spontaneously reappearing on QBN like a virus.
