Well hospice gave mom two to three weeks. But stated that she could surprise us and last two to three months. Going to be a bumpy road the next few weeks.

 

And they told me to keep my vacation and they will take care of her. "It's what she would want."

 

True...but.....Guess I'm going to be in Florida the week before Thanksgiving.

I’m so sorry 

Creepy pic time

Deedle sorry to hear about this! Hope the details include a decent severance package!

meanwhile, I will make sure to drink to you this weekend. 

AND,  Happy Birthday early, Sid!  Drinks for you also! Not, NO grasshoppers!, but, tequila for sure!

Tribe, thoughts and prayers to those suffering from losses. I lost my mom last week.  She is in a better place, but it is never easy!

 

 

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ll take losing a job any day 

Thanks to everyone for the good vibes! I am sure a number of jobs are eliminated. It’s the way it’s been handled that I have issues with. Any way, hoping for decent severance. 

My job has been eliminated. 22 years doesn’t mean *****. I go in Monday at 9am yo get the details.

Nice posts. Don’t know how you do it, Sid. Here’s to number four. You’re a better man than me.
This song calms my soul. Have a listen if you will. If not, then you ordered the zombie tropical storms and you deserve nothing.
 

Love it

That’s sad news Deedle, sorry to hear that.  
 

Are the hotels completely closed?  Some here close to me  look quite busy but I can’t imagine that many people are needing hotel rooms right now. I wonder if they are housing homeless people because the window sills are full in the rooms which regular overnight guests would have that much stuff on the window sills. Just curious if you have heard such a thing in your area. 
 

I hope you are able to return to your job in the near future. 

There’s just no business, The group business is gone and that wax a good 70% of our revenue. 
 

but I paid off my December cruise today. 

But I make a killer key lime pie

Carnival is terminating around 7,000 crew members, including Captains, Staff Captains, bridge crew, and a slew of others... Executive chef's and many others are being jettisoned, due to their downsizing of operations. Many of these people have been out of work for six months, thinking they were going to be recalled at some point, and now they're letting many thousand know that their jobs no longer exist... It appears that things are going to get worse before they get better, unfortunately...

 

 

Same thing in the hotel biz. I’m just waiting for the official notice
