“I wanna be where the people are.” -Ariel from The Little Mermaid

If COVID-19 doesn’t go away soon, I think I’m going to go crazy. At this point, who isn’t? While plenty of people are probably satisfied with working from home, I can’t deal with it. Feels like I’m a caged up animal.

My employer implemented work from home last week, however, those of us who are deemed essential does have to commute two to three times a week. This week they had to halt and put us on lockdown because the county went on lockdown for seven days. So this entire week, I’m at home. The plus is that I don’t have to make the 45 minutes commute to work and another 45 minutes back home.

Negatives? How about everything else. I’m sick of hearing about the virus. It also sucks to be deemed essential and then have others comment and say that we shouldn’t be traveling/going out because it’s not safe. Unfortunately, it’s part of the job and I need to be there a few days out of the week. I am taking all precautions as suggested. Most importantly, I make sure to stay my distance.

So I’m here and singing the tune from The Little Mermaid in my head. I know that we can’t change things quickly but I do hope that eveyone is being cautious so that we can return to our normal routines.
