How am I dealing with Covid for the week ending 08.14.2020?

-

This has been another week of social distancing and mask wearing.

This week I ordered some masks to wear at school. I have to wear them the entire time I am on the campus.  So, I order some that have adjustable ear loops. The fabric is super soft.

They were out of the plain colored ones, so I went with these.  click here

Adventure inside of Costco was scary...

Costco checks people at the doors, make sure they have their cards and are wearing masks, but once you are inside anything goes. Costco doesn't have arrows about which direction you can shop, so people are coming at you from every direction.  Not everyone was wearing their mask properly. Some people had it below their nose. I saw one man remove his mask to chat on the phone, which disgusted me.  I didn't say anything to anyone, instead I tried to do my best at keeping my six feet distance.

I like Costco's prices, so more than likely I will return to the store, but I think for this next order I will be having it delivered, so I don't stress out.

I am keeping a log of what places I go into..

I am a paper person. I have a paper planner that I always use, so I have added a section for places that I go into. If I get this virus, I want to be able to know where I got it.

The places I went into this week were the following:

Kinkos - Necessary I had to print something because the end user wouldn't accept an electronic copy.

Walgreens.... I tried to do this over the phone, but they said I had to come in. It was related to a prescription.

Costco

Dog Groomer

Hobby Lobby--- Definitely an essential stop because I need a frame for a flamingo picture. A little backstory on this picture, my former professor took it on a trip in South Africa. The picture means the world to me. 

Will I be giving up inside isolation soon?

I am in a hot zone for the virus, so I have to follow the rules and be safe. I would love to go out and have some fun, but it's not safe. 

Returning to the classroom will give me a little more structure and put in contact with some more folks.

My dog is my new boss

Today, I walked out and quit my job. Huh? Am I serious? Yep, absolutely. Normally, I would tell someone don't ever do this, but sometimes a person has to do what is best for them.  Here is what happened: 7:50 a.m. Arrived at work. 7:50 a.m. to 7:55 a.m. Placed my lunch in the breakroom fridge, filled up my water bottle, and logged into my computer. Once I logged into my computer and saw the email, I decided to make today my last day. Why? Was it really that bad? My ex boss (I love how that sounds.) was demanding a meeting with me to go over my soft skills and discuss my future goals with the company.  This meeting was unnecessary, I had turned in my notice and my last day was to be on the 29th of May.  I couldn't get out of the meeting. It was mandatory.  Would the meeting really have been that bad?  Well, if it had been like past meetings, yes.  Historically, she doesn't have a positive thing to say, she puts me down, do...

If you have a Dyson Animal 3 listen up.

The recline feature suddenly stops working. About a year ago, I decided to splurge on a good vacuum because I was tired of replacing the vacuum every few years. Well, I vacuumed, shut it off and tried to use it the next day and wouldn’t recline. After trying some of the tips online, I gave up and called Dyson. After an hour wait, the guy told me that this model had a defect. So, if I send it back, they will send me a replacement. So, now I am waiting for a replacement. I am also wondering why they don’t recall it.

Why don't I share my political views on social media?

-
 I don't share my political views because it usually leads to disagreement amongst people and frankly, I don't feel like arguing with anyone. Also, I have to be careful about my conduct on a social media platform because of my job. I must protect my source of income and my future. I will always speak out against violence against women and violence prevention because those are my areas of research.
