Everyone's been wondering what's delaying the little money they decided to give all of us, but honestly, to any federal employee right now, that answer to that would be obvious: because they'll all got to be processed by a bunch of Treasury employees, the rank and file of them people who are just trying to do their jobs and survive having Trump as their boss, probably long reduced in number too much, who are now all trying to do a massive amount of work from home, a lot of them on laptops and such that are no doubt often malfunctioning, needing to work on a network that sometimes goes slow. It would be slow under any circumstances. Though obviously Trump insisting today on inflicting his name on our checks is going to give all these people a whole new headache. But I would've been amazed to have gotten them at this point.
Much more put out at Amazon. Mom actually ordered a bunch of masks from them at the beginning of March. The estimated date range of their arrival went to today, they still are not here, and the information of exactly where they are is shamefully scarce, because Amazon can't even be bothered to use a shipping service that provides that. And meanwhile we're gonna need those masks to get food, and they're probably sold out everywhere. Mom and I have three, so we'll be fine this week, but I don't know how we'll get more after that.
