today has found me questionably..??? last night we experienced straightline 70mph winds in north texas and i would like to get off and away from that ride ty

Oh nooooo.

i worked this morning and went to the store and took a shower and worked more and I THINK THAT'S PRETTY GOOD ON 3 HOURS OF SLEEP

EchoDoctor it was.... 8C it was insane. And bun was a good and comforting bun and i am safe and good >:Cbbb but....also extremely sleppy ;w;

the part of today that has honestly been the most draining is work...and

i've been workin' from home part time and it's been magical

gives me some....stretchy room. without worrying about the virus. or office drama. or whether the laundry is going to get done.

but boss called today and said that because texas is reopening

we are looking at going back and

but

but why

why: we're a construction supply business and we are busy and all hands on deck!!!!
me:
me:

i'm a hundred and ten percent behind the idea that nobody is ready to open back up yet. I've already got the owner of my favorite breakfast place messaging me like "COME SEE US!!!!" and

i know why they're excited and MAN I WANT TO BE SO EXCITED FOR THEM

BUT I AM NOT........I'M NOT EXCITED AT ALL

N O O P

people need money to live and work and take care of families and EVERY REASON THAT PEOPLE NEED MONEY AND

THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT ASSISTING THE WAY THAT THEY SHOULD BE FOR SHUTTING THE WORLD DOWN

and it's a sticky, awful situation for everyone.

but my job requires me to be at work from 7am-4pm monday through friday if i'm workin' full time

i just don't know if i want to work full time.....like.....especially right now. between me and bun, we're able to take care of everything with some room to wiggle. we're being as safe as possible.

if we're at work between 7am and 4pm, someone needs to do laundry every other day. i am going to stress myself tf out on just laundry alone. THESE TIMES ARE NOT THE SAME TIMES AS PRE-VIRUS

WE ARE IN POST-VIRUS WORLD AND EXPECTATIONS HAVE NOT CHANGED BUT WORKING CONDITIONS HAVE

i've had moments where i've jumped back and forth between becoming an author and working from home to staying at work and i just. idk. i need an adult to tell me to be a better adult.

i told my boss i wasn't thrilled about going back- that I would absolutely go, and I trust that they're trying to control everything that they can as much as they can buT

this is.....this is an invisible virus. It isn't like a pink cloud you can point at and say "STAY AWAY FROM THE PINK CLOUD!!!"

idk. TLDR squish is hesitant to go back to work in a state where people are like "YAY EVERYTHING IS OPENING BACK UP AGAIN YAY YAY YAY!!!" when squish is dealing with some mental block-ish stuff and 8[ weep.

the government and companies need to do better but they refue

our HR lady was like "Hey!! Make sure you wash your hands and sterilize often!! And yeah, you'll be fine!!"

also yeah I feel the same way. NY definitely isn't "reopening" anytime soon, but my sbux has decided it is

pen

I'm super conflicted about it

also the fact that there's a strike coming up (not sbux)

I think most people feel like this, it's just a small vocal handful who are screaming about haircuts

listen....solution:

just shave your heckin' head

C: done, no need to worry about haircuts anymore

people are just....questionable, always. we have so many who are infected and dead and my question is What Is It Going To Take for people to generally agree on the idea that this is a dangerous time and your hair will be fine

dude is not being a better adult to be more okay with this...

CAN YOU ASK YOUR HR IF YOU CAN CONTINUE FROM HOME SINCE YOU'RE... STILL BEING PRODUCTIVE

Yeah, I really don't think anywhere in the US is ready to open back up yet.

yeah the world is deffo not ready to open anything. not until the number of infected and deaths go down, which iirc it is remaining constant or increasing

same

if there's enough tests to go around for everyone or they come out with a vaccine, then we'll be ready

exactly

:c fremb, if you wanna chat, I am always around as well. i miss talking to you.
