Corona Time :\

So where do i begin?

This whole Corona Situation has been a major bummer.

I mean, YES,  people are dying... and that's a terrible thing.
And YES, millions of people are losing their jobs Every week.
And YES, millions are losing their health-care too (don't even get me started on that one).

But my situation is a bit different.

You see, i was already planning on quitting my job in early May.
The Plan was to take the Summer off.
Sleep-in, goof off, watch netflix, play videogames, practice my Spanish, get back in the Gym, ride my bicycle (cardio), do some gardening, travel/fly places for pleasure, and of course, Study/Learn new computer stuff (for my next job).

But all of that is Out the Window now because of Covid-19.


Quite Frankly.... i am very salty about this.

Here in Michigan, we only get 4 months of great weather. And as i have gotten older, i have come to value it more than money. So, the only reason that i put up with working in an office all day... is knowing that i can Quit my job when the Summer arrives.
it's really quite rational, i assure you :]

But now, the economy has ground to a halt, and the future is uncertain. Add to the mix, the murmurs about a "2nd wave"... and the whole situation is a mess.

So what to do?

On the one-hand,
i can quit my job now, salvage what i can of the summer, and hope/have faith that i can find a better job in the Fall.
~ Downside: i might find myself outta work until 2021...

On the other-hand,
I can stay at my job, and keep working until the Fall. Then i can quit and take the rest of the year off (avoiding any potential 2nd waves).
This is probably the safer option.
~ Downside: i would have to sacrifice my summer vacation (and you know how i feel about enjoying the weather).

Meh.


In addition, my job has gotten very annoying over the past 2 months. Being an 'essential' worker has been quite the hassle. And the 'Busy Work' & Weekend-emails look to only be increasing.

Yuck...
