Straight Outta Quarantine - Or at least... dipping my toes back in the pool... · 2:15am Jul 17th, 2021
SO!!! As on the 23rd of June, I got my second Fauci Ouchie, and as of the 7th of July, I was fully vaccinated and cleared to return to work (part-time) by my wonderful doc.
My bosses have been SUPER cool with me needing to be on reduced hours. I'm doing a half-shift Thursday mornings, and I pull the 0600 shifts on Friday/Saturday... which, as you might well imagine, are PAINFUL for my night owl self... BUT... I can manage it twice a week for a month... Which is how long I'm slated for part-time work. I can, in theory and hopefully, return to full-time the first full week of August.
However, Thanks to Covid-19.... My Stamina is tanked... My new 20-hr work week is wrecking me harder than my 39.5-hr week ever did. Before I got sick, I only needed a nap Saturday afternoon and a good night's sleep Saturday night to recover enough to go out with MomCord on Sundays...
This last weekend? After working my three shifts........ I was so wrecked I was looking for ways to avoid going out from Sunday-Wednesday. I had to go out Tuesday to get my car's brakes replaced.... So I managed that much, especially since MomCord bought me Crab Linguine Alfredo from Red Lobster... And Wednesday...... I would've given ANYTHING to not go out at all... but I had to go do some shopping... so I did... but even that, I was grumbling about the whole time...
I have to say though; it's been kinda nice to come back to work and see all my work-place pals again. A lot of them were saying much along the lines of "THANK GOD YOU'RE BACK!!! Maybe now the gate won't suck!" or "Where the hell have you been? I thought you died or something!"
And for a further novel experience? My new boss actually thanked me for working as hard as I do even if it's only for 20 hours a week...
Anyways... tomorrow's the last shift of the week, so I gotta get to bed... because 0600 is a friggin' cruel mistress...
Don't forget! WEAR A MASK AND GET YOUR SHOTS DAMMIT!!!
