WYO1016 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Welp, so much for getting work done. Just got informed that I am being furloughed for two months. Looks like I'll be diving more into educating myself, and probably cleaning the house like a madman so I don't go crazy from boredom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
