juicy's blog post - Covid-19

Now seems to be the time when introverts are much more extroverted telling everyone how to survive. They offer great wisdom about how to live your life. Routine is key they say. Your own company is something that should be treasured.

I have my introverted moments but am I suppose far more extroverted.

I have spent most of my life in customer service. I am the person that strikes up a conversation in line where ever we happen to be. I am the person that greets you, reads you, figures out if you would like a chat or whether you would prefer to be left alone. I am good either way. The last thing I want to do is make you uncomfortable. I am the person that prefers to sit with her face in a book until opportunity knocks and a conversation starts. I am also unafraid of ignoring you if conversation doesn't go the way I am comfortable with.

I am only just over a week into social distancing and even though 2 weeks ago I didn't even log in for well over a week I am missing people. I am not negating the company I find here. Far from it! I am missing real life social interaction. I am finding it very hard to be socially distant. I am petrified of lets face it almost everything I touch. I am hyper aware of just how many things we touch. I am at a high risk for this disease and am doing my best to practice good hygiene. I glared at an old fart at the grocery store the other day who invaded my space but I have to admit. This is hard. It is very hard.

I hate that there is nothing to look forward to because we have no idea how long this is going to last.

I needed to whine. I need you to know not all of us are cut from the same cloth.I envy those of you that find this to be the best time of your life. It isn't mine.

Thank you virtual people for being here. You are saving what little sanity I have ever possessed.
