It’s official now I am working from home until further notice. That statement is true for so many people right now. It’s going to stress a lot of networks including the telephone networks. So you might get a busy signal or encounter connectivity issues. I personally haven’t had any issues like that yet but I have heard of reports. My employer has requested anyone that can work from home do so. It was stressed that we are not closing offices so I guess if you wake up and are tired of being in jail (at home) that you could mosey into the office. That’s something I may do eventually. Right now this is supposed to last a couple weeks. However, from a reality standpoint this could be the normal for a few months. The plus side of this for me is that my vehicle won’t be wracking up mileage so my factory warranty will last longer, plus I won’t have the fuel expense.
Restaurants among other businesses are closed in my part of the country. You can get take out or delivery but no dine in. I’ve gotten an email from one bank I do business with and they are closing their lobbies. This is all unchartered territory and I think there will be a lot of take away from this and it may even change how people live & work forever not just in the short term.
I practiced social distancing long before it was the thing to do. Yeah that was humor, I was talking to a co-worker and said that and got a laugh.
All I want to do is sleep and eat, I sure don’t want to work. Working from home is great until it becomes a mandatory thing to do. It’s like getting on an x-ray table and the first thing they say is lay still and don’t move. Well that’s all I think about doing then is moving. Tell me I am not allowed to do something and like a little kid it’s the first thing I want to do. I don’t know if that is human nature or more of a personality thing.
So all of my eye candy will come in the form of social media and porn, no actual real in person hunky guys unless I happen to stumble across one at the grocery store. I am still on the dating app but this is kind of a lousy time to be in the dating pool.. I mean you can’t go any where to meet in person. I suppose it doesn’t affect those folks who just want to get off and move on with no string attached but that’s not what I am about.
It hit me last night that today was the last day I get to give Marvin his shot. Then I realize wow Momma’s been gone for a little over a month now. Where did the time go? I still miss her like crazy but the pain is almost non existent which is kind of scary but turns out to become the normal eventually with every pet loss I have gone through. Marv and Gator are doing okay. Gator is doing her best to keep tap dancing on my nerves but Marv is all mellow. Both are still very picky on eating but they aren’t on hunger strikes and for that I am thankful. I will probably touch base with the vet on where we go from here regarding the B12 shots with Marv. They seem to be helping him he walks a little better and the yowling is way down. Which I am also thankful for.
One more day and it’s Friday. I am so ready for the weekend to be able to turn off my phone and sleep in, if the cats will permit that. Exhausted is the word. Work isn’t just 8-5 yesterday it was working until around 6, taking a break and then back at it for a bit at 7 and then I was done but emails kept coming in and I kept looking at my phone. I’m all about helping out and doing my fair share but this whole be responsible thing and being an adult is for the birds. I guess I just take my job way too seriously.
I hope that you and your families are doing okay, stay safe and be well. I appreciate you stopping by. I am headed up for lunch in a bit and think I may try to squeeze in a nap. Then make it through the afternoon and on to another evening. Talk with you all again soon.
