once a week in the back

That's how I keep my marriage afloat.

Take your upvote and move on.

Not a lawyer but work in grocery. I think it depends on your state and your business. Some of them have plans for this. I'm on a voluntary LOA right now. I still have a job when I come back, they aren't paying me now.

So I made the decision to go on a 30 day leave. I wish I could say I was relieved, but all I feel is guilt. Extreme guilt. All the guilt. There may be tears of guilt.

This is probably a stupid reaction, but I'm upset that I'm a high risk. I'm upset that I'm letting my team down. I'm upset that I'm upset.

Thank you for letting me vent.

Working in a store, we have mandated sanitation every hour across ALL surfaces. This is in response to the virus. Everything that has a touch point is wiped down with sanitizer.

Working in foods, we do all equipment every 4 hours and wash everything every time a new set of hands come around it.

My peeve of the day is ...

I'm genuinely scared for people.

We are in the middle of a time where health is compromised. No one knows for certain how bad or mild this will be. No one can say what is the right call to make. Meanwhile, everyone around is reacting in panic, which is causing all these reactions and ripples.

I'm nervous to get an illness. I'm not scared of it. I'm scared for people when the supplies start to really die down. It's already hard to meet the demand. I'm scared for those that won't have assistance and live on oxygen with no help. I'm scared for the tactics I see written on the walls that people will take to assist their families if/when this goes bad.

I'm not living in paranoia, but my heart hurts for some out there and that's my self peeve? Also, we should be coming more together and uplifting (yes, I know where I'm posting). We can do this I have faith or something in everyone.

My un-peeve --- I like all of you. Okay, sometimes that's my peeve too. (Just kidding, maybe).

I'm torn.

So I can take a month off without pay and maybe get unemployment. Maybe.
I can wait to get said virus and get two weeks off paid
I can self-quarantine for that month and yeah.

The problem is I work with public in close area. My business won't be closed. I have an auto-immune disease that wipes out my immune system whenever it wants. However, I don't have any symptoms. I don't feel the need. I just am not sure and I am upset that I'm not sure which way to go.

Maybe this should go in health, but it's my job and my income I'm worried about.

@Testament

If it helps, amazon/ebay/and various sites are refusing to let anyone post reselling toilet paper so as not to gouge people that need it.

The supply issue is that it comes from China and well.... so the retailers had to get on a call with with White House (not kidding here) and talk about how to go around that and get supplies back up.

People were panic shopping. They do this for storms too. Oh there's going to be a blizzard (that people live through every year) wipe out the stores of their stock and replenishment.

I'm hoping it dies off in a few (the panic around it and the hoarding).

I'm old. My immune system is shot (thanks incurable illness). So if I'm going to die from cheapbeerflu, I better figure out how to contour. It's on my list to learn how to do it and not look like a badly drawn tiger.

@TNP

I just learned this. I'm um.. processing a bit. Just damn. I played with him on Castle and others, but that was the first and just... damn.

That moment you took a 2-3 year MU* break and just find out about this today.

Ummmm....

I think I'm pretty descriptive and purple prose, but I don't PICTURE it. I sort of recall it from reading or because I just generally know. Like I know that silk is smooth, I cannot recall in my brain what it feels like. I know someone's eyes are blue because we've talked about eyes and it came up, but I can't picture it. I have been to a thesaurus to get shades of blue, but I don't picture them. I just know the words and set it with dynamic, but I don't PICTURE it in my head.

People picture all that? For real? This lack of picturing is a thing? I'm a little blown away. I don't think I have it, but I don't picture things. I've always been told that I'm a 'visual person' because I have to draw things out to 'see' them. I have to have them on paper.

Y'all have given me questions I'm not sure I wanted. Heh.

@Derp

THIS!! All of this. I'm like do I smell of 'I quit this bitch' or something?

So in the my work life is weird department, this has happened:

I decided a week or two ago to quit my job. I'm an adult with bills, so I wanted to get a job first. I haven't heard back from any of them. So I'm like, huh, maybe I suck, but whatever. Not to worry, keep apping.

I go to work. My asshat boss is strangely nice to me. He's like I realize it's not you, it's your team and I want to work with you to fix it. (I have heard this dance request before). My uber shade asshat boss (Boss of the asshat boss), tells me that it's not me, but the team needs to be reined in. --- Then one of my team quits because they had a falling out with a co-worker - BUT - it's not me and they will stay on to get me through the week of hell coming up next week. The other person that got accidentally screwed over, says they aren't a little bit angry at me.

I have told NO ONE that I'm thinking of quitting. It's been my little internal mantra.

Then today. One of the bosses in another department (on line with the asshat boss) comes to me and says they need to talk. They asked if I want to come to their department as a manager because they think I'm the SOLUTION to their problems over there. Uber Shade Asshat Boss told them that he completely agrees. - New boss says they haven't told their team as they are reviewing options, but they also want to get me a pay raise if I go to it. This was the department I wanted a year ago.

I have said nothing and it's almost like people are oddly falling over themselves.

This is weird. I'm still okay quitting, but I'm also okay with trying this. However, it's very very weird.

@silverfox I mean. Is it a nice ring? You could pawn it for more oreos. Just saying.

@silverfox

'Challenge' accepted.

@Auspice

And option 4. Someone is probably having an affair with them right now.

@Derp

I see what you did there. I can't like that because that's just rude for me to agree you are in the wrong relationship. I mean, I see the trap and I still almost fell for the bait.

@Auspice

That's my every day. I just don't want to decide food. On the flip side, I'm always down for whatever is suggested.

@Derp

Let me answer for her. Yes
