Today’s Work Chronicles… Let me follow up my post about gloves with a comment about masks. Really no need to wear them if you’re not going to cover your mouth AND nose. It’s time you smell the same breath we’ve been smelling. My shift started with a delivery from Pizza Hut. Later learned it didn’t… Continue reading 03.20.2020

Today’s Work Chronicles con’t… I spoke too soon… As I was locking up, sister came back and said she would do whatever, i.e. gown, glove, mask, to see her sister. “I gotta see her and she has to see me.

Prior to the outbreak, I signed up to work at the facility 3 days this week.… Continue reading 03.16.2020

Today’s Work/Virus/Parenting Chronicles… Now that I have your attention, the movie “Just Mercy”, albeit an enlightening and well documented piece of art, let the world know of the injustices happening in Alabama. It’s hard for racists to admit their wrongdoings, so they would rather speed up the process to get rid of evidence of their… Continue reading 03.06.2020
