Fighting to be productive

[cornerofmadness]

I did manage to contact the student I needed to and did my job self evaluation and that was as far as it went.

I couldn't clean. I didn't write. I'm really hating this. I think however, at least Mom is realizing I won't be home as much as normal. I have a research student who has to make up his research so I'll be lucky to even get home for my birthday. I'm not sure I care. I have no desire to go out yet. I would like not to get infected and everything says we're not nearly out of the woods.

It's supposed to cool down so maybe that'll help me and my mood

I feel as you do about not going out. I don't care what other places are doing or what other people are saying: I don't feel safe, and I don't *have* to go out, so why would I? I get in my walk or jog every day (using masks and social distancing, etc.), and my husband works at a grocery store, so we get what we need in terms of food, etc. My teaching is still online. Like you, I don't have to go out, so I'm choosing not to.

I guess I understand that some people are restless or bored or just sick of being cooped up with each other/their kids/alone, etc. I don't mean to sound unsympathetic. I just don't *get* it. I mean, this virus isn't gone. It isn't anywhere near gone. So why the rush to infect ourselves and have a second wave of infections?

Anyway, I'm with you. I get it.

[cornerofmadness]

I don't either. Okay in some ways I get it for all of those who have lost their jobs and businesses that will never be back. I get it in that respect.

But I'm not about to risk myself more than I need to

I'm sorry if I missed an earlier post explaining some of what's happening. Is this related to the onboarding fuckery?

[cornerofmadness]

Yes it is, well the student thing yes. The other is my yearly self evaluation. It's amazing how GREAT I am

Good luck feeling better.

Thank you

The heat makes everything so impossible! I'm looking forward to the cool-down, too.

There are things I miss, but I have no interest in going out and acting as if things are back to normal right now.

[cornerofmadness]

So true. I hate heat.

You and me both
