Life As We Know It

My daughter was supposed to travel abroad in an exchange program for three weeks, but that was cancelled.

My wife was supposed to travel to London for a work event, but that was cancelled.

At my office, I’ve been orchestrating video coverage for multiple events that were scheduled for the coming weeks and months. One by one, they have been … or are in the process of being … cancelled.

A vendor I frequently recruit for various projects was supposed to come next week for a lunch meeting, but she had to cancel, as her company has forbidden all travel through April.

There’s a concert I have tickets for on Saturday in Brooklyn – Human Impact at St. Vitus – but one Connecticut-based friend of mine has had to cancel, as the university that employs him has “put a freeze” on all out-of-state travel.

Will the show in question still go on ? Other gigs at the venue, like the UK band Pigs!Pigs!Pigs!Pigs have cancelled.

I’m getting fed up with this shit.
