We both work in the travel industry, which of course has been crushed.  My spouse has been furloughed, and I’ve taken a temporary 25% pay cut. Hoping upon hope it doesn’t get worse for us.

yes, but not in a negative way (well negative in how i teach, but positive in that i barely work yet still get paid the same).  it's weird.  i teach, well sort of.  teaching in denton during this virus has made my life easier and i work even less than i used too, but it absolutely sucks.  i put out 3 assignments a week...see if they turned it in and pass them.  that's what i'm supposed to do.  no new teaching,...it's been a boring 8 weeks of stupid review videos and webquests.  kids are appreciative of it (they have told me it helps keep them busy) but it absolutely sucks.  i hope i never have to teach from home again.   no way is it the same as an in person class with discussion, rabbit holes to run down, fun interaction with the kids.

 

those schools that are going to online only for the fall will hurt those students the most.

How can anyone say “no”

I have worked from home for almost 10 years now. So in that manner, nothing has changed for me. With my company, the pandemic has created new demand for more IT solutions to adapt to how retail has changed drastically since March.

No. I used to travel back to homebase once, sometimes twice a year but I couldn't tell you the last time I did that.

Ok...was curious.

My wife and I both work from home and our travel is totally gone. (not that I'm complaining....but it does make it a little more difficult)

Yes. Several of our patrol and even admin have tested positive. I've been tested twice, and the second test was inconclusive, so I have to get tested a third time. On top of those who tested positive, more have been sick and been told to stay home out of caution. Our CID has been working from home the past month. And on top of that, we had more out for surgery and maternity leave. Last week we had 3 people on duty covering 800 square miles. 

 

I'm gonna go with yeah.

I was in Germany when all of this started. Work (Government Sponsored Enterprise) and the CDC made me stay at home for 2 weeks. So I worked from home. Once my 2 weeks was up, I went back to the office. We are considered essential, so I have been back in the office for 6 weeks now.

Based on my limited research and amateur opinion, I have seen a lot of reports of unreliable tests depending on the stage of the virus in the person. For example, an antibody test would only test if you had it, not if you actively are suffering from it.  I hope you're safe and you don't have it.

Thanks. I don't wish for anyone to get it. They say that some people have it but show no symptoms. That's the scary part. Some people could be infecting others and never know it.

      The Band

      1. Anyone. There is a tryout. 2. No. It is provided by the school. The summer uniform/clothes under the uniform are paid for by the students. 3. Both. Most play on their own instrument. Marching instruments such as the sousaphones, marching baritones, mellophones and drumline are provided by the school. 4. Both. To my understanding. 5. 1 credit 😡 6. Most GB members make up the pep groups but that’s not always the case. *This might be outdated info. Sorry if anyone has other intel.

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      Not being capable and not being given a legitimate opportunity are two different things. Moore never got a legitimate chance in my opinion. I don't think Taylor would have been given a legitimate chance either just like I don't believe Vice, Cotton, and Mason are being given legitimate opportunities to showcase themselves. We had a 20 point lead the entire second have against Evansville. They couldn't get in for 5-10 minutes with the members of the main rotation to see how they perform? Would be nice to know what we have if a main player goes down...

      The Band

      Before adding my thoughts, I have some questions about the band that maybe current or former band members or someone in the know can answer. 1. Who gets to be in the band? Is it an open try out or only available to students in the school of music? Is there a try out at all? 2. Do band members have to pay for (or rent) their uniforms or are they provided by the school? 3. Do they play their own personal instruments or are these provided by the school? 4. Where does any funding required for the band come from (Athletic Department, School of Music, somewhere else)? 5. Do band members receive any credits (elective or otherwise) for being in the band of it is purely voluntary? 6. What (if any) is the relationship between the Green Brigade and the pep band that plays at basketball games?

      UNT Basketball Beats Oregon State, 58-55

      DENTON – Atin Wright hit a game-winning 3-pointer with seven seconds remaining as the UNT men’s basketball team defeated Oregon State 58-55 at the Super Pit on Monday night. Three North Texas (5-1) players finished with double-digit point totals as the Mean Green remained undefeated at home this season. Latrell Jossell finished with a season and game-high 15 points. Brenen Lorient scored a career-high 14 points, extending his streak of double-digit point games to three. UNT has now beaten two high-major teams this regular season — they defeated Minnesota 54-51 on Nov. 13. It’s the first time they’ve accomplished that since the 2010-11 season when they beat Texas Tech and LSU in the same year during the regular season. The Mean Green continued to be one of the most efficient defensive teams in the country, forcing 22 Beavers turnovers, UNT’s highest total since Nov. 26, 2020 when the Mean Green defeated Mississippi Valley State 116-62 at home. "Our ability to turn them over 22 times in a one-possession game was the separator," head coach Ross Hodge said. " That's a really good team that can really shoot. We talked about it in one of the [media timeouts] that we were going to really have to string together some of our best defensive possessions and I thought that group in the second half was really good." North Texas took a close 26-25 lead into the locker room at halftime. Oregon State (4-2) came out hot to begin the second half and held the lead until the 5:38 mark. 13 of the Beavers’ 22 turnovers came in the second half, ultimately leading to the Mean Green’s close victory. North Texas travels to Kissimmee, Fla. to take on Northern Iowa on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT for their first game of the NIT Season Tip-Off. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

      The Band

      high school band director was a mistake. band has regressed. drumline is abysmal, no confidence, no arrogance, no true talent. last 2 years the drumline has been the worst since the 80s. need to drop that best damn band in the land and best drumline in college football....not even close to being true.
