I have cloth seats and febreeze isn't cutting out — I work out some mornings. Anyone have a favorite place they like to use to get their seats cleaned?

There's an increase of talk about people feeling more anxious about everything as this drags out. How is everyone?

Personally, I'm hanging in there and feeling mostly positive. Definitely bored and feeling isolated at times. Concerned for my mom, who lives in New Jersey, and my grandpa, who's in hospice in Kansas. Overall, though, I think we'll get through this. There will be deaths. I think the economy, nationally and locally, is going to take a severe hit and I feel for small business owners and workers impacted by the shutdowns. But I feel safe here in Houston and feel like we'll fare better than other cities. It's not going to be good, but it's going to be alright in the long run.

"ArE yOu iN LiNE oR...?"

No, I'm standing in the middle of the line to let this beer warm up and this sausage thaw. BACK UP!

My situation is that I've been out of work for seven years. No particular reason other than I can afford to do that but it's, of course, a significant gap in my resume. During this time I did pick up an AAS from HCC in Computer Science. I'm also working on getting my A+ within the next couple of weeks. My work background is varied: I've had roles as a customer service rep, technical support rep, project manager, and telephone & cable technician (home installer and repairs).

Right now, I'm looking for a place that basically wants bodies in chairs so I can build up a recent steady work history. Don't care about the pay or shifts right now. I'm a dependable employee, never been fired or had to resign in lieu of getting fired. Just trying to get back into the rat race.

Any suggestions?
