Guest Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Moonstruck Drive-in theater in Fifth Ward WWW.FOX26HOUSTON.COM Drive-in theaters are gaining popularity during the pandemic. One is open now in the Fifth Ward. Very sleepy me doing an interview this morning on the local Fox affiliate about our new location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Not that I turned it down, but I received a 39% raise in the middle of the pandemic because I filled a needed role in my school division's IT department, and I am definitely part of that top 25% now. It's ridiculous how those who already make good money are somehow coming out ahead during all of this. In my case, beyond the raise, I am also able to work from home if I want (and am doing so regularly unless the office is sparsely populated) and I am saving money by eating out less, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I don't go out I am saving a good amount of money. Been using it though on hobby stuff though and working on paying down my credit card debt. Got back into anime figures, 30k, and PC hardware. I am actually pretty satisfied right now. While I am kinda lonely since I don't have a significant other and it's hard to hang out with my friends. My hobbies are keeping me occupied. I feel like I am back to the time period prior to meeting my ex-wife and after HS. Probably better because of my antidepressants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema- Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I'm on reduced hours at the moment but everyone else got laid off around me and when things stabilize (and they will) I'll be in a good position to move up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got back into drawing hardcore when I finally decided to start doing those UDemy classes I had been buying and never using.

It sucks because some people do amazing free hand battle standards or art on their tanks but I can't. Decals and brass etched for me.

You say it in jest, but I do think my drive to do business stems from it being a type of creative endeavor since I’m not creative in the artistic sense. I was talking with a friend recently about how I really like building businesses, but don’t care much for maintaining them. Running them day to day is boooorrring.

However, I've also been using services like Doordash a lot more since then, which hasn't been great for my finances, or my waistline. And don't even ask about my mental state...

Guest Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Busy month starting up for me. Have a bunch of comedy shows (Iliza Schlesinger, Bert Kreischer, Nate Bargatze) and some movie events with Amazon/Blumhouse. Also was down in @Massdriver’s hood today looking at property for another drive in there. One day things will settle down and go back to a more normal flow, but this has been an exciting year on a professional level for me.
