I've practiced social isolation for the past decade. I stopped all relationships of all kinds, not that I really had any to begin with. Ha! ha! I normally have a two to three week rotating stock of food and supplies at all times. So, I'm yawning at all the panicking that is going on.
Here in Phx, AZ. the workers must have been told to be extra nice to everybody because they are. One staff woman at a hardware store actually patted me on the back because the self checkout wasn't working. I didn't say anything. But, inside I was like, WTF! I don't want you near me on a good day. With the Coronavirus crap going on stay the hell away from me. People here are so stupid. They are either panic buying everything that they will later toss in the trash because they'll never use the stuff or they pretend like there's nothing wrong. People are not keeping their distances from each other either.
Hmmm. Many fun stores are closed so lets all go to the parks so we can exercise and socialize together. Wow! Stupid!
The building where i work in the last two years has evolved into a drama capital. Now with this going on, it's even worse but the good news is I don't have to see it. Although obviously i have peeked in on the email exchanges, just so I can gag on my beer. These people are so needy and socially dependent that they can't stay away. I like my boss, but he is so high on his success that he emailed a link to his daily announcements and wanted people to send hiim videos of their families watching his videos. I texted my co worker and gave him the heads up on the email...good old boss has become a David Koresh and turned my building into a cult. He loves being worshiped and that's exactly what they're doing sending in those videos. of course, I'm not...I refuse to watch them. I'm certainly not paying tribute. Although...he likes me, for whatever reason. Probably because I get honeysuckle done without any complications. Don't however expect me at meetings or social gatherings...I'm there for money, and because this job is perfect for a man of my wonderful personality.
Yeah, I was the work horse at my final job. I didn't socialize so I had the full day to work. The boss hated that I never asked for his help. I think he wanted to learn what I was doing. But, I would just do the work without problems and things continued on smoothly. During my last review before I quit, he laughed and said you could do the work of the entire office if I let you. I replied then at least give me an above average review instead of all your worthless buddies and kiss asses around here. He replied that I was easily replaceable and should watch what I say. He said we are all replaceable. I quite shortly after that review. Not surprisingly nearly the entire office quit a couple months after I left. My boss and his boss was fired. I should have applied for one of their positions because I became the only one that knew the processes there any more. But, I said F it, I'm finished!
I saved money like I was taught to do. But, the US government has been pissing away vast amounts of money and rewarding worthless people for accomplishing nothing. Now the US is borrowing and pissing away $trillions like it's nothing. So, my savings are being reduced quicker then I imagined. Interest rates have been artificially kept near zero for the past decade and for the foreseeable future. I will not be getting any "free" government money because my money is earning less then the minimum required to file taxes and I'm not on the government dole. Yeah, it's a riot. If I was getting government payments then I would get a Coronavirus check. But, since I'm taking care of myself I get nothing. All I have to say about that is it's not going to be pretty when my savings run out.
So many work places are more about socializing then accomplishing anything. I go to work to work not to socialize. But, that mindset is just about gone. If the US brings all the work back here from China we'll end up getting nothing accomplished. But, they'll be a lot of high paid CEO's jumping from place to place. The stock market, aka Fraud Market, will continually be at record levels because the government will be continually devaluing the US dollar. I'm sure the government will bail out the failing businesses as we are heading towards socialism at a very fast pace.
I'm a veteran and no longer say this is the United State of America. Instead I call this country the Socialized States of America because that's what it is.
