I work/study from home already, woo!
I wanna vent and rant about it tbh, and the other thread says not to bring up vents so feel free to block me and/or this thread.
A few basic helpful bits:
- Wash your hands regularly.
- Don’t touch your face.
- Use alcohol hand sanitiser.
- Use gloves + mask (n95 is best).
- Disinfect phones, door handles, keyboards + mice daily.
- Try to stay at least 6 feet from strangers.
- Always wash your hands before eating.
- Check the CDC website for updates.
Only rule: Don’t spread misinformation about the virus itself. That’s it, if you “read it somewhere” provide the source so others may conclude what they want from it. This threads supposed to be to vent about the stuff going on right now, not as a source of information.
Some topics to get y'all thinking:
- How are y’all at home?
- Is your school closed?
- How are y’all managing your senior year and projects?
- What do the stores look like where you are?
- Have you tried anything new in quarantine?
- Playing games? Tell us about them!
- Have you been drawing/writing? Share!
- Got a movie to reccomend?
Go nuts.
Been home since mid april now? As an introvert I really enjoy the home time but as someone immunocomprimised I feel deeply for those who are directly impacted by this and in the same topic, I had the anxiety when the news first came out about if I was over-reacting, or if I should be more careful because I’m more prone to get sick and all that. Even more so with an invisible illness cuz thats a whole thing too.
Also, don’t know about you all but my sleep schedule is out the window haha. Been playing acnh and getting into ffxiv though.
But now I'm worried about sitting around all day because thats not gonna help my health but where is the motivation ;;
We have to work at home and I feel so jealous for those who don’t have to do any work aah, we are getting more work than we usually do at school here. I don’t get bored easily, I could literally stay for months just in my room drawing all day but nooooo.
same. found out yesterday that school's closed for the rest of the school year. that means I'm trapped in the house with my mom for another 4 months with a technical difficulty every day. yay me -_-
E-learning is going great I guess, I get all my assignments done within an hour or two depending on how good my internet is. I do not attend any of the zoom meetings because my internet while the best from my provider sucks in comparison to other companies also I'm kinda feeling self-conscious. I also have to limit my computer use to my laptop and my school Chromebook because it's not making me feel as nauseous.
living in nyc is scary.... and also, my emotional/mental health isn't the best.... i never go outside anymore. sometimes the backyard, but otherwise no,,, my dads aunt has it, my moms coworker died... theres also more people but i don't wanna say any more about who has died. theres a lot of online work, way more than when school wasnt online, and its hard to stay focused during this time. im trying to stay strong, but its sad to see whats happened to this city that i was so happy to live in. its become a nightmare and my world has shrunk from a lively city to the size of my house. : (
and racheart why should we not eat strawberries here...? : 0 im already allergic to strawberries so i don't eat them, but my sister ate them the other day.... is there something going on with strawberries?
I'm an extrovert, so I'm currently climbing the walls. My chest has felt tight for 3 weeks. I lived in a big community at a huge college, so now that that's gone, I'm going bonkers.
I can still do Bible Studies, DnD, hangouts, and events on Zoom but it's just not the same.
I feel so disconnected and forgotten and abandoned. I'm scared that when we re-emerge, things will have moved on without me.
Um, this is not good. I think I might be coming down with something. I thought it was allergies but yeah I've been having a dry cough and now I have a sore throat. I don't have any other symptoms that I can tell other than a leaky nose sometimes. I don't have a thermometer except a thermometer gun that I bought for a crafts project. Will that work? I called my boss today and she said I sounded different. I thought I was just groggy from a nap but now idk. o_o But yeah our call was about me returning to work soon, oof.
I'm looking at the symptoms and so far it's sore through, dry cough and I guess I have been getting chills. But I normally get chilly idk???
My mom's a nurse though I guess I'll call her ask her what to do tomorrow.
edit: dangit my thermometer's dead
Remember that grocers,software programmers, and convenience store workers are also frontline workers. There isn't enough credit given to these heroes. They want to try their best to protect all of us.
It angers me that some companies only think that nurses and doctors are the only heros.
