My boyfriend lives in a whole different country, and I don't know when I will get to see him again.. not to mention that he has asthma. I'm very scared that if he gets this virus he could die.. we just had our first visit in February, and we were planning another one in May, but I doubt that will happen now.
I'm also of course just scared for everyone. I want people to be okay.
My ma doesn't let me out for a walk, despite the fact our situation with covid is pretty fine
i'm really want to see my friends and bf and dying of boredom, but i fully understand that this is a necessary measure :s
Been doing good! Work in schools so I've been out of work and at home for 2 weeks straight. I'm mainly focused on trying to keep people positive and informed rather than pessimistic and panicked. The situation is scary, but at least we're getting more information to better protect ourselves! I majored in psychology and feels like I'm playing counselor now trying to keep people level headed.
Thinking about quitting my job to help keep my family safe. I'm pretty much the only person in my house that ever leaves on the regular, and it's to a job that pays $11 an hour and is impossible to do without constantly being in close proximity to like, 7 other people. :') Everyone I live with is high risk. I told my supervisors I was thinking about quitting, even if only temporarily until things calm down, and they're all like "what?! dont quit!" Okay. What's gonna keep me there, then??? dshfdshf
I'm doing ok for the most part. I work at a bank though so we're open for the duration since we're considered essential. A couple of our branches have had employees with confirmed cases of the virus so that makes me a little worried. Yeah we closed down the lobby to limit exposure but we still have to take customers through the drive-thru all the while staffing was cut by more than half. Despite the governor's order to stay at home we still get A LOT of customers that show up and they get all sorts of pissed off that we can't do absolutely everything through the drive-thru (some things just absolutely have to be done in person and you can only do so via appointments).
I've had people curse and yell at us and even a couple people flip us off because we're taking too long. Excuse the fuck outta us for not being able to work any faster. Some customers just have a lot of deposits or they have a problem that can't easily be fixed in 2 minutes. At least we're getting an extra $2 per paycheck though and on the days where we are "rotated off" we're still getting paid full time. But it doesn't make dealing with customers any less stressful, especially when you notice said customer(s) are coughing and sniffling :/
We can't get hand sanitizer or cleaning wipes or sprays because everyone is buying it up in bulk before we have a chance to and while I completely understand our supplier's decision to make sure healthcare workers and first responders get disinfectants and sanitizer first, it doesn't change the fact that we're still having to take customers 10 hours a day, 6 days a week and we're running low on those supplies. Working at a bank, we're forced to handle dirty money and IDs/cards and checks all day long. When was the last time anyone stopped and thought about how dirty your credit cards or ID cards are? Have you ever once cleaned that credit card you received 3 years ago? How many people have you handed that card to?
*sighs* Kind of irritating how utterly self centered people can be. It's one thing to deal with that kind of BS when everything was fine but now we have to deal with that kind of crap on top of whatever else it is that we're having to deal with.
I work in pharmacy, and here where I live I have to keep going to work, I am well exposed to the virus and hope nothing will happen to me.
I will continue doing my commissions and drawing, it makes me more calm.

I hope you and your bf will be okay! As well as everyone else
Call him often to find out how he is.
