Day 182

May 4, 2020

These last few days, it seems, everyone in the entertainment industry is starting to get a bit nuts. Suddenly a bunch of groups have popped up on social media where everyone is arguing the pros and cons of going back to work. Theorizing on how a return to production will be handled. Can we get back to work by July? Will there be a vaccine by September? Should production quarantine entire crews, including cast, before starting to shoot? Along with the entire gamut of insanity that has pervaded everyone’s feeds. At first I was paying attention to see if anything of substance came out of it. But as quickly as I looked in, it all devolved into conservative vs liberal arguments, conspiracy theories, and claims of expertise gleaned from YouTube. The only thing that may have come out of it is now I know whom to avoid getting too chatty with at work. Oof, the nutters are everywhere. So instead, I think I’ll start an herb garden and clean up the succulents. I’ll wait for the official updates from the unions and producers rather than wading through the muck in social media. Now, I may need to order some cilantro, seems the nursery is out…
