Auto parts sales.

I don't think it's essential, since if everyone's going to be locked down, mechanics and dealerships won't need parts.

School psychologist - It's gonna be weird. I'm gonna have to transition to offering counseling services via webcam and hoping that the students have a place where they can have a private conversation at home without others overhearing them/me. Special ed evals are gonna be wacky too, because you can't do any formal testing over webcam. I'm just lucky that I work in a high school, so for most of the evals, I can do a review of records instead of a whole testing battery.

I work at the Attorney General's office. And I'm sort of annoyed since from what I was told, only my boss and the receptionist needed to come in to work, but on Wednesday I was asked to cover for the receptionist. Here's the thing though: she's the dedicated receptionist; I just cover for her when it's her lunch break. I'm a mere office grunt. She's supposed to be working the front, and I feel like she's passing off her responsibilities to me :<

So I'm not sure how this will affect my days off...All I know is that everyone comes back to work on April 2nd. Lazy receptionist aside, working for the state has great job security and benefits.

IT for a public-facing city government department that has shut down all of its public services.

I'm senior enough that I can work from home and manufacture work for a few weeks if necessary, but who knows after that. If we're no longer providing services we'll be first on the block if the situation gets dire.

Work stocking in frozen/dairy at Walmart. I assure you, this does nothing to stem the flood of "when's toilet paper" questions driving me absolutely insane, including from other Walmart associates. Fun times.
