HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!
Years ago I read that we should not treat Martin Luther King day as a holiday--we should go to church, do volunteer work etc. I said if there were ever a Jane Hautanen Day people should be able to do whatever the fuck they want--have a party, go the beach, the mall, get drunk, get high, get laid, stare into space or just sleep if they wanted.
A couple years ago Facebook friend made a remark about how we should not wish people Happy Memorial Day--men and women did not give their lives so we could buy a mattress. So Saturday I told my supervisor to have a solemn and somber Memorial Day. His answer was "no, I 'm gonna have a Jane Hautanen kind of day--fuck it."

WE SHOULD RE-NAME THIS "KOV-AID"
Unfortunately too many people who should know better have drunk the Ko-Vid Kool-Aid.
THINK GLOBALLY
A couple months ago Scandinavian Airlines did a TV spot which many people found insulting, and not just Scandinavians. It promoted travel and opening borders, saying that was good for everyone. Boy did that come to bite them on the behind. BTW, it was pulled off the air:

WHAT A WEEK
I was not furloughed but another one of our guys was. Which meant working all of my hours and most of his. And working at my third job.

SHELTERING IN PLACE
A term I am coming to hate. Most people in favour of waiting to re-open the country until a vaccine or cure for the Coronavirus is found either have nothing to worry about financially or have never experienced a profound financial loss--their job, their career, their business and/or their home.
AKTION T4
Part of the of the idea behind it was to save money. Some of the victims lived in nursing homes:

UBER IS GOING DOWNHILL
And I don't just mean directionwise. I mean longer pickup times, higher fares and drivers who won't open doors or pull up to the entrance even though you're paying more.

It's not enough to tell people I've tested negative for the Coronavirus. What do they want, a doctor's certificate?

BACK IN THE USSR
There is a Safeway in Northwest D.C. known as the “Soviet Safeway” because of its long lines, empty shelves and rude staff. Now the whole city, heck, the whole country, looks like that:
THE LUCKY ONE
I have been lucky in that the Coronavirus hysteria has not affected me too much. The main thing is that almost everything opens later and closes earlier so I have to get up earlier and get home later. And pay more for Ubers because trains stop running at nine and busses at eleven. And there is no more Uber Pool or Express which is not always a bad thing.
PEOPLE MOST AFFECTED BY THE QUARANTINE
Very old people
People with preexisting medical conditions
Poor people (let’s not mince words and call them “low income” or “economically marginalized”
People who work at night
People who rely on mass transit
People with poor or no phone/internet connectivity

TARDE DE MAYO
Went outside for the first time since Monday. It’s the kind of May afternoon people write about. (Note: the flowers were bought earlier at Safeway, an Easter gift from Mom, just haven’t had the chance to share them yet).

BORED
For weeks I have seen social media posts from people who complain about how bored they are. For those who lost their jobs, were furloughed etc I feel sorry for them but for the rest of them I posted this on Facebook and Twitter:

TRAIN, TRAIN
The brilliant people who decided to close the churches, libraries and fast food restaurants seemed to forget that’s where homeless people hang out. So now they hang out in bus and train stations or in busses and trains themselves. One morning a guy refused to get off the bus even though it was the end of the line.

A Facebook friend suggested I make this into my profile pic so I did. She also said I look like Hot Lips on M*A*S*H. Loretta Switt IS Polish...

A GOOD THING ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS:
It took the attention away from these two:

I also accidentally deleted all his contacts. Oopsie! #Meghan#CoronavirusPandemic pic.twitter.com/gAMZ5F4vuR
I DON’T HAVE THE CORONAVIRUS
Honestly, If I had any thought I was positive I would not have posted on social media until I was 100% sure.

I GOT A NOTE
So I have a note from Homeland Security giving me permission to be on the street. But there is no picture, date of birth, Social Security number etc. It might as well say “please allow Jane on the street, bus, train etc., signed Homeland Security.”
Will Governor Hogan be getting letters from Juan Epstein’s mother explaining why we have to be on the street? #Coronavirustruth #Covid_19 #TheLockdown #ChineseVirus #ChinaVirus #pandemic #Quarantine #TheLockdown #WuhanVirus pic.twitter.com/ba0FCppsJ2— Jane Hautanen (@snipercatcher) March 30, 2020
THAT’S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR
Since I posted on Facebook that I had been tested for the Coronavirus people have been frantically contacting my boss so he texted me. Nice.
Two people in the other building where I work have tested positive but one was a visitor and I doubt I had contact to the other one.

HE WROTE ME A LETTER
Because I work in an “essential” industry I have a letter from Homeland Security saying I am allowed on the street. So far I have not needed to show it but I carry it everywhere.

FLATTENING THE CURVE
The idea was to keep people at home and off the streets as much as possible so we don’t overstress our healthcare system the way Italy did:
People are still getting sick and dying, just at a more manageable rate.

WHAT HAPPENED
For those of you who have been living in a cave only “essential” businesses are allowed to remain open, mine being one of them. Until we lost so much advertising revenue we had to furlough people. I’ve been luckier than most and except for about five hours one night in March the last time I had any time off was to visit my mother in February, which does not a vacation make.
