@Chief Sapulpa is spot on. When I worked a contract at airport for a couple years. City workers all complained that Fire and Police always got the goodies and never took the cuts vs regular workers. I am pro-fire and pro-leo but it didn't make sense to me. Let water stop running for a week, all the sewers start backing up and trash rotting everywhere. The poor cops and firemen wouldn't have a chance in hell. The truth was they just had better union guys fighting to get them more goodies from what I could tell.

Here, but occasionally There.
When I worked regularly for a living, I was pretty much non-essential. Now that I'm retired and living in an RV, I figure that I "should" be considered essential as I need to get out and take more pictures to post to my Smugmug site.

That way, all those non-essential folks needing something to do could look my site up and enjoy the views.

I kind of wish that I was on that list. I'm not a big fan of wondering if the next call or email will be the architecture firm that I contact with telling me to stop all that I'm working on. Already happened once last week, but luckily was able to transition into a different project. Since all of what I work on is restaurants, I'm expecting it to happen again.
