    "It was well stocked except for wet cat food!"

    Who knew there's food just for wet cats.

    This go-round it's not toilet paper, it's paper towels. We have enough that I haven't looked lately.

    Take at look at the electrical boxes and wire at the box stores. I needed to buy about 50 feet of 12/2 Nm. The smallest roll at HD or Lowes was 250 feet after checking four locations. So I had to buy that. Lots of empty shelves. I had to go the three stores to get plastic two gang boxes under $7.00. They had quite a few of the more expensive ones with "features" at 2or3 times the price.
    #14 wire they had plenty. I do not believe #14 is allowed any more in residential work.

    I noticed that the inventory on some box products was low the other day when I needed to pick up a shallow old-work box I needed.

    I provide a written summary report to my manager on a weekly basis. During the Covid-19 pandemic I wrote a few fictional reports that were included in a weekly update to all staff that focused on our home life. This is one of my reports

    "Summary Report for the week of March 29

    Week 3 of Captivity

    - Continuing to work from home during the Covid-19 pandemic.

    - Continuing to inventory and control emergency supplies

    - I have begun to fear for my life, the cat has had enough of this work from home process and has attempted to obtain weapons.

    - I have hidden all the sharp objects in the house and am placing a wedge under the bedroom door at night.

    I wonder how much coffee ended up in your manager's lap, on his desk and on his walls from that report...
