Coming to the end of seven days of following the governor’s orders to “Stay Home”. It was sunny and warm today. And, mentally I am doing better than yesterday. I tried really hard to not go clicking around looking for “news”.

It is sort of a dilemma. Am I behind the fence? Is the rest of the world behind the fence? I tell myself that the fence is to keep me safe.
Thanks to Trude for the heads up on this one.

Yes, boys and girls. New Jersey’s unemployment insurance system is 40 plus years old and is written in COBOL. Which the good governor pronounced cobalt. Where the hell are you Adm. Grace Hopper? Oh yeah, right. In Arlington Cemetry.
Gratitude
Grateful for friends.

Not too shabby for a bunch of old women just trying to stay alive. And sane.

I remember vividly you telling me while going through my resume for postal, “If you can sling Cobol, you will always eat.”. I had done some for Dan the man at CDSI and was wanting to highlight other work. You said keep it in the resume. I did – indeed it stayed in all the various versions for over 30 years. Too bad I have no interest in NJ.
