I’ve been such a good boy. Only leaving my house once every seven to ten days, my vacation to the beach in North Carolina is cancelled, the only person I’ve been within six feet of has been my wife. I’ve kept all this up since mid March.

I’m starting to break down. I feel like I’ve got nothing to look forward to and this lockdown is endless.

Again, it’s the right choice and I don’t want anyone to get sick or die and I will continue on as I have been, but god damnit people.

I am beginning to experience feelings of despair.

You do not want to get infected. You do no want to pass it to your family members who are susceptible. You've got the internet and someone who loves you close by. You can do this. Pick out a new exercise video. Go plant your garden or do some art.

and it's like, let's just begin with trying to socially distance in a loving hot topic, but also every employee there now is in contact with hundreds of others and have to be bc they won't have unemployment with the job available, not to mention everyone's going to start shopping for pleasure again!!!!!!!!!!

Visit a forest and just kinda walk around a bit, there's a forest and bird sanctuary like 15 minutes from me and they have like a $5/month membership that lets you in any time, it's pretty rad and you must have something like 5x better because I live in Nebraska which is, as they say, not good.

So, my boss and coworker are now sharing conspiracy theories back and forth about covid. On one hand, I'm glad I'm included in the group text (there's only 3 of us on this team), but on the other hand, it's like ??? we WORK in health care, you dipshits, of course viruses are real things and covid isn't Rockefeller's plan to take over the world from his grave or whatever.

I was doing okay for a while, but now I'm back to hating my job again.

it is what is happening in Brazil at the moment as well and is kinda worse because some places are doing an amazing S+ tier level response and others (like mine) are "oh three weeks good enough" while allowing for all sorts of bizarre exceptions (like construction being allowed to resume one week after "hard" quarantine) and because Bolsonaro is the president and has effectively managed to blind cripple and maim the federal executive (which in Brazil is very powerful - we are a much more centralized state than the USA for comparison) with increasingly bad decisions, states that are "prioritizing the economy" are getting turbofucked in that regard anyway

it is an Iliad of stupidity

I think it's tied in to the Medicare billing misinformation thing that's going around too. It's so stupid. We literally spent last week coordinating the serological testing for covid and now they're both talking about how it's plot so Fauci can personally scam Medicare.

I usually try to look at my team in a favorable light, like we're a government employment project or something, with the goal of giving the stupidest, low-IQ idiots a good living wage, but I'm honestly so loving disgruntled right now.

I feel ya friend. Canceled a trip to Munich and my plans to see friends all along the East Coast this summer. I had just started dating someone seriously in Feb-March, just before things got really bad. I live alone with my cat. My days are an endless cycle of work, zoom conversations, and trying to keep up what feels like farcical interaction with my sort-of girlfriend.

Don't despair. This will pass. But it won't for you if you die because you got bored.
