  - Did not even notice PF Changs on the list. I've been there twice. -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 16:17
- I have not been to any of these this century and have no idea of their current menus -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 7, 16:16
- I have no real affinity to any of them. Don't like the new Applebees menu. So... Chilli's, TGIFriday's, and Red Lobster, I guess. -- nm - Mop Apr 7, 16:14
- Chili's Chili's and Chili's. If I have to pick 3 different then Chilis, BWW, and a Fridays/Olive Garden tie -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 16:12 4
  - Correct answer (the first one) -- nm - JackDawson Apr 7, 16:12 3

  - What Krusty said. -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 16:39
  - Upset Sbarros isn't on the list? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 7, 16:09 1
    - Exactly! -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 16:18
- I do not understand the appeal and popularity of BWW. I'd probably go Red Lobster, Olive Garden and Cheesecake Factory. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 7, 16:05 5
  - A bunch of BWW varieties to go for a group is such an easy thing. -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 16:15
  - Yeah every once in a while I get a hankering for cheesecake and my family hates it so CF it is. -- nm - spamlet Apr 7, 16:06 3
    - They hate cheesecake??!?! Have you considered finding a new family that isn't clinically insane? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 7, 16:09 2
      - I don’t think it was disclosed prior to marriage and somehow my kid got it. -- nm - spamlet Apr 7, 16:16 1
        
        I'm pretty sure that's grounds for an annulment. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 7, 16:21

  - This -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 16:08
- I would go to Cracker Barrel three times. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 7, 15:51 3
  - Probably this. Plus they have Cheerwine. -- nm - spamlet Apr 7, 16:02
  - Well, someone's not a romantic... -- nm - David Apr 7, 15:55
  - heh I love myself some Cracker Barrel too - Jovian Apr 7, 15:53
- Red Lobster, Cheesecake Factory ... and then either Chili's or TGI Fridays, neither of which I've eaten at. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 15:50 2
  - One meal at the Cheesecake Factory is like 3 meals in itself. -- nm - pmb Apr 7, 15:52 1
    - Right? I'm considering both variety and apocalyptic portion sizes when including them. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 15:54
Today appears to be the one nice day we're getting. 80. Sunny. Slight breeze. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 7, 15:38 4
- Dog. Carrier! -- nm - JenBro Apr 7, 16:58
- Was sunny and almost 70 here. We both took the day off. Went for a hike in the morning, got grocery shopping and yard work done in the afternoon. - znufrii Apr 7, 15:45 1
  - I considered taking today off when I saw the forecast. Unfortunately I was facilitating several priority meetings today. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 7, 16:02

- 3, easy. - Dark Callisto Apr 7, 15:50
- 6. there is a lot to learn from Palpatine and the short green jedi dude, and Ahsoka likes older Jewish guys. -- nm* - Peglegpete Apr 7, 15:27
ha, he just claimed not to have seen Navarro's memos! -- nm - mud Apr 7, 15:11 5
- I'm sure it was on his desk, but we know he doesn't read anything. -- nm - pmb Apr 7, 15:15 2
  - he's the biggest liar Ever, so if he says he didn't read it that means he did. If he says he's read something you know he hasn't. -- nm - mud Apr 7, 15:19 1
    - No, there's no way he read it. I'm sure he was verbally briefed on it (or they turned into a series of cartoons). -- nm - pmb Apr 7, 15:38
- something telling from yesterday's briefing was when talking about Capt. Crozier's letter "I didn't read it...it was five pages long, single spaced" -- nm - crash davis Apr 7, 15:14
- Probably true. It's not like he's given anything that requires reading. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 7, 15:13
I'm essentially under a "stay at home" order. But for reasons I don't get we're not calling it that. -- (edited) - Cuzzin Todd Apr 7, 15:08 3
- In VA: All public parks closed. More than 10, ha ha, you're funny. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 15:18
- Is that a statewide order or by county/city? Maybe that's the difference. -- nm - pmb Apr 7, 15:16 1
  - Everything is statewide at this point. Early on (mid march I guess?) some cities were doing their own things. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 7, 15:21
Poll: Are you working from home? How long are you supposed to? Do you believe it'll end when they told you? -- nm - Mop Apr 7, 15:05 34
- yes. they havent set a date for any return to the office yet. but at the same time, my work is considered "essential" therefore i could go into the - tRuMaN Apr 7, 17:06
- No. We're assuming June. -- nm - Max Apr 7, 17:02
- Yes/No (who knows?), until I get a job, probably not. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 7, 16:49
- Officially May 1 but c'mon. -- nm - Reagen Apr 7, 16:30
- Yes and there's yet to be a discussion about returning to the office so I guess indefinitely -- nm* - JD Apr 7, 16:30
- Yes, beginning of May, has already been extended twice from April 4th to 17th to May -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 7, 16:28
- Yes! Forever! No! -- nm - Beryllium Apr 7, 15:29
- No, I can’t work from home. I’m going back to work Thursday, modified hours and we’re slower now but it still sucks. We’re essential. -- nm - J Apr 7, 15:26
- Yes, indefinitely. Apparently we need to get approval from the head of risk management to even set foot inside the building. - znufrii Apr 7, 15:23 2
  - Yeah, we are not supposed to be entering right now for the safety of the people who have to operate the press. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 7, 15:47
  - Heh. We can go in if we want/need (I will tomorrow for stuff we have to file but 15th/30th) but it’s not typically necessary. -- nm - spamlet Apr 7, 15:32
- Our company's WFH plan is currently set for the next 10 weeks. -- nm - Andie Apr 7, 15:18
- Yes. No idea. It was originally a 2-week block and when that ran out it was "indefinitely" -- nm - Strongbad Apr 7, 15:16
- No. I have been giving my scheduled shifts to others as much as I can. -- nm - Qale Apr 7, 15:16
- Yep, in VA it's until June 10. My bosses are afraid I'm gonna die, so I'll probably WFH longer. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 15:15
- Nope -- nm - Krusty Apr 7, 15:15
- I’m not going back to the office. I was scheduled to WFH before July - Pippy Apr 7, 15:13
- Yes, until the end of April at minimum. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 7, 15:11 1
  - MrsJax still is going into the office. They send direct mail, so aren't under order to close. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 7, 15:30
- Self employed and working at home. Trying to maintain about 12 to 15 hours of billable time a week, which has been a struggle. - ReluctantCynic Apr 7, 15:10
- Yes. I wasn't really given an end date for it, but I would work from home regularly before. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 7, 15:09 4
  - I also worked from home regularly before (1-2 days per week). -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 7, 15:10 3
    - Yeah, the completely from home is the only difference. We're facing network issues now since far more people are working from home than before. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 7, 15:12 2
      - I WFH one day a week in the before time. The difference now (other than full time) is that I finally set up a decent office space. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 15:17 1
        
        Luckily I had that already - in my prior position I did WFH almost (but not quite) 100% of the time. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 7, 15:23
- Yes. Probably through April. And no end date announced yet. -- nm - Jovian Apr 7, 15:08
- Yes. Until I'm told otherwise. We never set a date in stone. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 7, 15:08
- Yes. Until the end of April. Probably. -- nm - spamlet Apr 7, 15:07 3
  - No way. I think it will be end of May at least. -- nm - pmb Apr 7, 15:14 2
    - We’ll see. Our peak is supposed to be next week and it never got that bad here so I could see some loosening. - spamlet Apr 7, 15:31 1
      - Yeah, but you can work from home. It's not essential that you be in the office. -- nm - pmb Apr 7, 15:37
- Yes. Indefinitely. -- nm - pmb Apr 7, 15:07
- no. yes. which 'they'? -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 7, 15:07
- Yes. No idea. Whatever date they said, we're not hitting it. -- nm - Mop Apr 7, 15:06
