With a surprisingly slow race weekend upon us, I thought I’d take a look at where I stood a little past midway of this crazy year.
WORK: Since I’m “essential” things have been pretty much the usual for me. Well, busier than usual, and a bit more overtime than usual, but usual nonetheless. I can’t do my job from home so I’ve wound up developing a very specific taste in masks (my favorite are cloth ones with just a little bit of give in the elastic).
SOCIAL: There really IS no social life going on for anyone, is there? All my fantasy leagues have bene cancelled—because who wants a baseball league for two months?—and our football draft might have to move 100% online for the first time ever.
ROMANTIC: Nothing doing, although at least I have a legitimate excuse this time.
GAMBLING: On the plus side, virtually no sports and casinos being closed means less of a chance to blow my hazard pay.
