A new day...

Well I hope all the anti-maskers are happy now. I sure hope they don't all get COVID and start the spread again. In the past 15 months I've gotten to see first hand just how hateful people can be when forced to do something they don't want to. A year and a half is nothing compared to the big picture. If they can't handle that then if something worse happens they're gonna freak out. I'm sick to death of listening to people whine about the masks.

Sick of seeing people argue about COVID. Sick of people being ridiculous and panic shopping cuz they're not smart enough to think sensibly. Sick of being called names and mocked for simply trying to protect myself and take care of myself. And I'm the stupid one?

I love how so many people suddenly became experts where all this was concerned and felt they could dictate how people were or weren't supposed to behave for whatever reason. I came here looking to make friends and then COVID hit and I watched people I liked on here leave. I watched people get nastier and more hateful with every day. It's been pretty unpleasant. But it was allowed to continue so I suppose as long as that happens that's what we have to put up with if we wanna be here.

I have a huge list of folks on ignore because I couldn't stand it anymore. Some of them people I liked. I haven't been spending as much time on here because of it either. I'm trying to adapt to just poppin in now and then. There's not much going on that doesn't involve COVID so...*Shrugs*

We are still masked at work. We are 18 people short because people are quitting right and left. I'm having a time trying to find something I can do from home. I'm trying to look at other jobs I can work outside the home that are more sedentary. I would prefer something that didn't require customer interaction but not sure that's doable. It's either that or stay in a job I hate.

Most of the jobs I'm capable of doing don't pay the bills. Trying to figure out what I want to do is a mess. I just hope I can find something that's a little easier on me. We'll see I guess.

Good morning, your assessment of the changes that have taken place here over the last year has a lot of merit.
 

I'm gonna try looking at some tutorial videos on YouTube. That's the best I can do.
Look for Customer Service Reps. I know a few people who work from home doing that for various companies. I knew someone who took orders for Pizza Hut a couple of years ago. I think I told you my bf's daughter works at home setting up appointments for the electric company for their customers. I know there must be something out there you can do since so many people are working from home now.

Now if you want to earn money working for yourself, check out Fiverr. Not really a job, though people can build it into a business making good money. I used it to have someone format my books for the Kindle. They are short termed jobs you do for the customer. I had someone pay me five bucks to take a picture of a cow in a field. That is the only one I ever did. I used it mostly for my books or blogs.
 
Morning Pammy!

Morning all. Just having my coffee and getting ready to finish my shopping list. Gotta order groceries today. Because of all the rain I've been seeing a few ants on the counter where the microwave and coffee maker are so I had to do some rearranging last night. We must protect the coffee maker at all costs. LOL!

Watched Grace of Monaco last night. That was interesting. Plus some more sitcoms. Now that I've been watching Hulu I noticed PlutoTV has been acting up. Not sure why.

Gotta go shower. Have a good one.
 
Ok everything is done. Just waiting on groceries. Some of the folks that deliver do a really good job and are super nice. I just hate that I can't afford to tip them much anymore. Just for myself and the things I need is gonna be $200. I will need more groceries again in 2 weeks. That round usually costs me $180. It's horrible. Most of it is because everyone is buying up all the generic and the only thing left available is brand name otherwise I don't get it at all.

For example...I don't like paying $7.99 for a stick of Secret deodorant when the Suave is $1.99 or something like that. Anymore the Secret doesn't work any better than the Suave. I sometimes feel like we get ripped off a lot at the store. I don't like paying for a label but some of the generic stuff is crap. Most of it is acceptable for me. Especially when it's $5 to $10 cheaper. With delivery you can't buy anything bulk hardly so you gotta buy 2 of everything. It's stupid. But, it's either that or go to the store with all the unmasked people. Not gonna happen.

One evening I drove to the store. Sat in the lot watching all the shoppers running in and out with no masks. And the lot was full. It was around 7 or 7:30 in the evening. I just couldn't bring myself to go in. I went back home. That's how bad my anxiety is. It's delightful.

We're forecast for 87° today. Eek! Too hot for me. Last summer wasn't too bad but this summer is gonna be hotter I can tell.

I might do some reading in a bit. Not sure.
 
Today's Trivia Question:

Who wrote Charlie and the Chocolate factory?​

 
Had Ramen noodles and an apple for lunch. Gonna have open faced sloppy joes and salad for dinner. I got some Breyers Carbsmart ice cream. Wish our store had more than 2 flavors.

I work the earlier shift tomorrow. *Wrinkles nose*

Our COVID count is starting to go up a little again. We'll see if it continues to trend upward. *SMH* I don't think we're ever gonna be free of this. I wonder with each variant if it will just continue to get worse. I guess only time will tell. They are talking about boosters in the fall because some of the vaccines don't offer enough antibodies to keep us going for the full year. I will likely take the booster. I haven't read if it's gonna be one or two jabs again. We still have people dying in our facility from it. So I don't plan to go without a mask. Unless they can tell us it's totally wiped out there's no way.

Gonna be in the 80s again today. *Gets out the ice cream*
