Luckily I was basically quarantined in my house before Corona, so not much has changed for me. I'm bored and ready to work, but need to let my body heal. My future is very uncertain, and it's likely I need fusion further down my neck. My focus now is healing and a new career! Hope you heal well. Perhaps dispatching in the future.

Cold War Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Still working. Shitty outside with nowhere to go or do. I can only sit around for so long with out going crazy.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted March 23, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 23, 2020 Factory is open and running. Iowa hasn't gone on full shutdown just certain business'. One of my guys mom is the head ER nurse at a local hospital. You wouldn't like what she is saying and my county has very few cases to date. Personally I think they like everyone else really doesn't know where this is going and are preparing for the worst case scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your attitude is the reason the virus is spreading. Maybe but we haven't been told to yet by gov Reynolds. One positive test and we would. Even a few calling in sick and we would. About 1/2 office staff working from home. The owners are not. We are here. Look pretty bad if we were at home while they were working. No chance we pull that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than customers to a station, but that is very city/market driven. I'm trying to get out of the truck and into the office, I have a bachelor's degree, and trying to utilize experience and education to do so, hard to get out of the truck once you get in it seems!

spin_dry Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I’m back to work. What I’m doing now is considered essential services. Holy fuck. What a god damn mess. Everything is on contingency. There’s a rush for available office space and managers are having meltdowns. Wtf did I get myself into? During times like this, you really get to see what people are made of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
