reevaluating stuff
2022-Mar-14, Monday 10:03 amIt's snowing (slightly) in Minnesota this morning. It's easily ignored, though. From here on out, we are forecast for well-above-freezing temperatures during the day, so additional snow no longer matters.
After the latest virus news from China, I ordered a huge pack of N95 masks this morning. I've been using them at work all year already, and I will need a lot more. I verified that they're legitimate as well as I know how to do.
Does anyone have suggestions for ethical home delivery of groceries? I know that most places are paying their workers horribly low wages and that restaurant delivery may be worse. I don't want to support such exploitation. We need a sustainable system for this service. If I ditched my car completely, I could save maybe $1000/year from insurance, gasoline, and repairs that can't be ignored? That's much more than enough money to afford meaningful "tips" for grocery delivery, if it comes to that point. As it is, I still drive to the grocery store(s) to stock up. I need alternatives now.
edit1: Apparently Coburns still exists!Maybe it would be fine for them to drop stuff at my front door, since I'd always be at home to retrieve it immediately here in the warzone?
edit2: Awww, they no longer have service in Minneapolis.
I'm thinking of enlisting a headhunter to find me a 100% remote job. I find that I'm lacking the mental stamina to stick with the hunt each day. The clock is ticking, though, until I end my current employment. Something's gotta shift, soon.
