In the last three years, I have lost count how many people I've worked closely with has been taken away by Covid. Yesterday, one of the best guys I've worked with seemed fine when he arrived at work. An hour later, the fire department picked him up from the locker room floor.

This is the first time in my long career I have lost people. It was always retirement and they would start drinking and pass away. But this Covid is getting people before they can retire. I was talking with an old friend I started my career with thirty years ago across the country and he said the same thing. He said most of his neighbors are gone. Covid got them.

Why I keep wearing a mask. And interviewing, hiring, and training. This is all new. Hiring new people was only to replace those who retired.

I remember when that clown claimed this was a hoax. It's turned my life upside down and this is the new normal.

Just about everybody I know has gotten Covid by getting into a car with people one of whom had it but didn't know it. Thank you, but no, let's not carpool, and in fact, maybe I won't be going to any superspreader events.

I am so sorry. So many people are having to come to grips with mortality, when before in our modern era, it was seen as optional.

We’re having to wear masks outside anyway because of the smoke. I think we’re all exhausted by the last ten plus years. Hang in there @π••π•šπ•’π•Ÿπ•–π•’ πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈπŸ¦‹. πŸ’œ

Please retire as soon as you can, Diana. Be safe, healthy and happy with your wonderful home, property and Sunshine Kitty.

Oh dear. Wouldn’t you think he’d learn to wear a mask…from experience?

@Katherine Bond I think Diana works with conservative Republicans. Perhaps anti-mask Republicans.

Get your shots and survive. It’s the only revenge…

I remember how much more pleasant life was 50 years ago. 😭

In Australia they've recently changed pension age from 65 to 67.
Katherine Bond
I remind people who say they’re leaving the country that unless they’re rich, they’re losing their ability to fight for their pension and retirement.

What a world…

diana ~ You can always bury $$$ in a super protective metal box, at a super secret location. Keeping your present home while you're working - you could also purchase a small lot of land in a Democratic state- out in the woods. πŸ˜€) A Plan B.

Yes, looking/looked at many options and for now have concluded it is best for me to 'shelter in place.'
Katherine Bond
I’m β€œsheltering in place” too @kennyc. It’s the devil you know.
