Happy Friday!! 4.17.2020

Fast forward to now and I have been in Quarantine for about 3 weeks. The first week was mostly panicking as I essentially lost my job; Fortunately, I found a new job working remote at a Brokerage firm. At first being at home was in this lockdown was strange because I am not one to like be at home all the time. Due to the fact that I enjoy interacting with people and going from place to place to get errands done. With the COVID-19 lockdown in place it has made it very difficult to enjoy my past time. Therefore, I can really only stay home. Which would normally be fine I supposed… if I lived on my own, but I live with a lot of people including a certain Uncle that is extremely moody. To put it in perspective he like to tell people thing they shouldn’t do one day and do the exact thing the next day, doesn’t make sense right??  

Plus, he works in a highly technical and stress-inducing career. So I think he takes that stress home and pushes it on us. I do understand that through his years he learned how to deal with bosses and coworkers, but people friends, family, etc in a household compared to managing a department, ever some parts are could be implemented as a benefit to the household, but the big issue is he refused to learn from us or take what we say into consideration unless it relates to him; his way or the highway and no acknowledgment. Yeah, so that’s why I am not a fan of always being in the house.

Enough about that headache, I am in my room for about 8-9 hours a day for work and break to the kitchen for lunch for 30min and go outside for some sun. I don’t hate the remote working as much as I thought I did, but one thing is for sure; working remotely is a very static lifestyle. This I something I noticed even working in an office! In the office, I would walk with coworkers for breaks, eat lunch with them off the campus, or just walk around when we had time. That is something that I need to work on especially since there is really no motivation for me to walk or even go on breaks for that matter.

It all a different change, but we will all pull through! This point in time will be something that’s has allow a lot of movements to be set in stone for the next generation. With one being schooling/education as far as I know starting the day for children a bit later and having classes run longer to account for a 3 day weekend doesn’t seem bad. In this currently social climate teachers have to plan assessments on Friday and students, junior high and high school based on my experience, have  4 day school week with zoom meeting along with their share with homework. Its going to happen eventually because technology is becoming the crux of how education is taught. So maybe after this pandemic passes societal norms might evolve.

Stay safe, we will pull through together!!
