Iza, did you move and purchase that house that you were talking about? You are such a great writer; make sure that you have a writer's room. I think you should create a manuscript and publish every page that you have written here about the virus.

Enjoyable post. It would be great if you actually could find and buy a house before the next outbreak. You might even get the working from home" job permanently.

I thought it was a great episode. Here you document the problem of two people working from home who interfere with each other's online work conference videos; I loved the part where the boss tells you to tell your husband to change his schedule when you are on conference call. As always, the bosses always ask the impossible. And you have to juggle it all as best as you can. Life in the coronavirus outbreak stretches everything to the limit. Well we are trying out this three phase plan to open back up. Lets hope it works. My guess is tens of millions of people are going to lose their businesses and their jobs and this is going to be a world of Amazon, Wal mart, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Google and Netflix. estory

nh mm,
everybody become a virtual fitness and dance instructor.>>GREAT!
at 6.30 am>>We notate it at 6:30 am in the US. Is it different in Canada or Romania?
and do the choirs >>chores; choirs are large singing groups like the Vienna Boys' Choir, who are probably ALSO quarantined!.
I got in kamikaze mood at least 3 times a day.>>LOL! Yep...I feel ya', sister! Try 'mode' instead of 'mood'. Whle it is a mood, the phrase says 'mode', like 'gear'. I read, sadly, that spousal abuse is up 40% because of this crud. Sad, but understandable...
So I call her. And praise the Lord, she is complaining that during>>mixed tenses. Because this happened in the past (even if it's today), you called her and she complained. And I thought that's what bosses DID! :/ >>How ridiculous of her! Clueless, huh.
Hubby doesn't hear very well from the left what? Ear? Speaker? Just clarify and it's fine. :)
the fish stanza, opening and closing my mouth with no sound, >>Love this! But you don't need the phrase 'in the background'. I know you mean no sound coming from your mouth.
the people that are stuck with their kids in one bedroom apartment.??apartments. You pluralize this because, while there is only one bedroom, you're actually talking about people, plural. :)
Unfortunately, yes??lol

Sorry that you are working harder than ever lately. Perhaps after all this, you've proven such efficiency, they'll ask you to work at home. :)
"work and do the choirs in the time." (chores?)
What is a "fish stanza?"

The fish stanza is when they look from the aquarium with their big eyes and the mouth moves without a sound:)

I could relate to what you were saying in a way. I think this Corona virus is affecting people in all types of ways and especially dealing with our own sanity. Very expressive and I was able to follow quite easily even though English is your third language.
