It has been months and we STILL live in interesting times.
Sometimes it feels like someone is messing with the timeline.
Sometimes it feels like someone has tripped the Groundhog Day protocol.
Quick sit-rep:
Our ORs have gone back to doing elective cases.
I did not lose any hours during the forced downturn because no one wanted to work my shift.
Job security.
I’m about to top out on my PTO because no one wanted to work my hours.
My husband is working from home.
Right this second he’s doing phone calls from the other desk in the office.
His project was partially sidelined by the virus.
He has not lost any hours during this time.
He offered to steer his project while taking calls from the phone desk.
So the members of his team could keep some of their hours.
He has left the house three times, beginning six weeks ago, since this has begun.
People still aren’t wearing masks.
I wear a mask in stores.
I wear a mask at work.
The trials of watching other people not wearing masks will be another post.
