I’m actually going crazy being near my family I hate it

But I’m doing alright
I actually got more money from the government for being a student lol

The curve has been flattened in Florida, so we're [finally] beginning the process of reopening. Parks, theaters, and some other locations are still closed but restaurants and retail stores can operate at 50% capacity, barbers and salons are reopened, and gyms will reopen starting tomorrow. Contrary to what some people would want you to believe, the only cost for a haircut right now other than the typical $14 is a two hour wait without an appointment.

Here's hoping we get to Phase 2 soon.

As for me personally, Florida Unemployment managed to fix the colossal fuck-up from a few weeks back and I was able to get two weeks of unemployment. Ironically I'm making $108 more a week than I was while working, but I still want to hurry and get back to work because the cabin fever is killing me both mentally and physically, pretty sure I've gained ten pounds over the last two months doing little movement outside my room. I just started Persona 3 since P5R created an itch for more.

Disney Springs will be reopening in three days. Operating participants (third party companies) will be open first and three Disney owned locations will open later this month (World of Disney, Marketplace Co-Op, and Deluxe Burger). Parking will be limited to only two of the garages (no surface parking) and everything including the property as a whole will be at 50% capacity. Masks are required for both guests and employees and protective glass has been installed everywhere.

Parks and resorts here in FL are still closed, but Shanghai has reopened and is being considered a massive success (tickets for the park were capped at 30,000 and sold out within minutes). Same guidelines will apply in the parks/resorts here in FL we were told by the executives still working along with six foot social distancing spots while waiting in lines for rides and designated sitting/standing spots for shows/fireworks.

Governor DeSantis has said that technically both Universal & Disney can reopen now if they so choose provided they have a plan in place with the Orange County mayor, however the mayor has refused to let them reopen until at least June (and Disney isn't accepting reservations right now until July). I believe the parks are just waiting for DeSantis to announce when we're officially in Phase 2 before seriously getting the ball rolling on the parks reopening.

What's the situation looking like at Disney
I can't imagine they'd be back to normal operations for a year or so

My 2 month vacation from work is coming to an end. I got my job back and will back to work soon.

Is your day to day going to change at all?

I work in Magic Kingdom so we're still closed. Whenever we do reopen I have no idea what it's going to be like, my operation in particular is heavily reliant on college program kids, we have very few full timers and even fewer part timers; certainly not enough to run an operational day without CP interns. Before we closed I asked how we would reopen without CPs since they would need OJT and the response from my leader was "Ian why you gotta ask such a difficult question?" meaning they had no clue and I doubt the answer has changed over the last two months.

Is your day to day going to change at all?

I wasn't laid off from either of my two jobs yet I'm still not allowed to work. My boss for my weekend job sent out an email about possibly reopening soon about a week ago but I'm still basically just trapped in my apartment. This is almost worse than being unemployed tbh.

you can still file for any weeks you didn't pick up hours in or get paid for, and have the added bonus of being considered job-attached, so you wouldn't have to conduct work searches and show proof

Did you use the CARES grant?

nah, i dont have anything to really use it for

im surprised i got a decent amount, considering i didnt even get financial aid this academic year

naturally, this pandemic has halted my weight training progress, and my partner is concerned

i wonder if/when i should break it to him that i only agreed to work out with him in the first place out of spite for the activity, and a desire to prove just how valueless it really is for somebody with my lifestyle

my degree is in computer science, the diss itself is about using neural networks to automatically judge the quality of manta ray images, and then using that to see how different aspects of quality influence the performance of manta ray identification algorithms
