Good on you Molly and Satz. I'm going to rip a few people a new arsehole tomorrow if I'm not let home.

Re: FORWARD -- MARCH --- ARMY March 2020

Morning again -- fucking lunacy Benjy -- who put the clowns in charge of business's, countries and the WORLD??? The sensible wise ones stand out a mile cos there's so few of them.. where you were working is high priority - high danger... should be isolated to the Nth degree - not having staff roaming... crazy crazy crazy -- sounds like Greece are ahead of the possé -- nice one Stirly - head down indeed

I went into work to be greeted with the information that a girl I work with her children are coughing with high fevers and the family are in isolation... so were we sent home?? NO -- the folks who worked with her Friday (me included) were to work downstairs and the others to work upstairs..... and in the middle of all that - some randomer workman wandering around not just our workspace fixing appliances - but up in the canteen - had his head in our fridge when I went up to get a calming coffee... 'don't worry -- I don't have the virus' says he with a big guffaw...………...…..

I lost it --- had a bit of a meltdown and came home -- FUCK THEM -- they are NOT going to play with my life anymore... so then -- the question is should Joe and I isolate from each other? Gave him the options.... 'nah -- fuck that' was his answer -- so yeah -- here I am... still shaky - but alive

Molls, I would have done exactly the same thing - after I took a piece out of that thoughtless so and so working in the canteen without a mask. I guess some people (mostly men, I fear) still haven't got it yet!! Basically, you and Joe should isolate but that would be almost impossible so just do what you can. I think the pressure on both of you to try to avoid any contact with each other would be unbearable, so yeah, Joe's right. Going out on yer bike sounds like more and more like a good idea!!!

Off to answer e-mails. I wish someone would ask for something else besides masks..........grrrr...........

Waves to the world,
Good for you, Molls.:hug: They'll want healthy people at the end of this and you'll be one of them.
And you Satz, these things have to be said. :welldone:
[MENTION=22456]starty[/MENTION].......you can walk the dogs............note from Mr. JC avoid early mornings as everyone's out thinking its quiet..........it might mean a change in their routine........and keep them on their leash. Bess is suffering from the lack of doggie treats...........and you know labs are greedy buggers.
Good to hear that Mr S is getting help from next door..........I know up hear AA have started a whatsapp group.

There's no one on the roads apart from the line to get into the big shops.........Mr JC is just going to use the little ones around where he works. He's one of those that will need a note from his boss to drive to work when that comes in probably later today.........of course my slightly twisted thinking ...................what happens if you're self employed????

Cancelled the plasterer, the painter.

I'll be bacinabit.

Waves to you, too, Jackie dear.

Since our business is in my name, I have a note from me saying that it's okay for ME to drive to work and back.... :smile: :upsidedown:

Tell us how you REALLY feel Bridge :hahaha:


Can you take control of your own health Bridge ? Will they continue to pay you ? You are just asking to work from home right ?
Just tell them....
If not ... go to the doctor & get certified sick - stress related - from having to work with possibly infected COVID-19 people and gobshites.

I think the problem with that (for me anyway) would be not willing to take up a doctors time when there are potentially people dying all around me... I did think of getting a note and I know I could... but.... as I say.... not sure how Bridge feels about it for herself??!
I've lost the panicked feeling a bit - still have to go to work Thurs.. hoping we will be in lockdown by then -- anything else is ludicrous.. we started this all off at a great rate of knots here in Ireland but it's like we've now ground to a halt...

Was just looking at the little array of home made full of thought and care Mothers Day cards I got yesterday - deposited at my gate or in my letter box and I had been getting to the stage of thinking 'ach I've had a good inning's if this gets me -- I'll be ok' -- but now I'm thinking -- SOD THIS --- I'm not going to get it - and Joe ain't going to get it - and even if we do I'm not going to die -- I am SO going to appreciate life after this - every single damn solid precious moment... didn't quit alcohol to let this poxy thing win.. so there.. lets all make a pact -- IT ISN'T GOING TO WIN!!!!

Love your attitude, Molls!!! That's why I am being as careful as possible about coming into contact with the germs or whatever they are called. AL didn't get me - I'll be damned if this virus will!!!

Re: FORWARD -- MARCH --- ARMY March 2020

Evening all! -- how do ye be doing? Still going strong here.. watched shite tele most of the day - really quite enjoyed it tbh - rarely do it in bulk but think I felt like I needed to give my head a rest - think I'll go to bed shortly with my book. simple pleasures.... believe the UK going into lockdown... wise move I think - laters gaters

Re: FORWARD -- MARCH --- ARMY March 2020

Its basically stay at home, no shops open apart from food or pharmacy needs..........he was very straightforward and didn't overegg the pudding so too speak. The police will have measures.
Going to limit my screen time as well.
We had our first practice of Mr JC working from home this aftie .............gawd its not going to be easy but it doesn't half help my anxiety.

Re: FORWARD -- MARCH --- ARMY March 2020

I'm not going to limit anything that keeps my mind occupied...have steered away from the 'nonsense' online alright...but chat and entertainment I find helps me...but each to his own for sure.
Really trying to 'be Tom Hanks'....love reading his last few weeks through the virus...with sense and humour...lovely man he sounds like

Re: FORWARD -- MARCH --- ARMY March 2020

Evening ladies, thankful all well here apart from my head cold I can’t shake off. Been off work since Thursday just to be sure and have taken this week off too. Probably won’t be the only one off, almost certain Ireland will go on lock down in the coming days too I imagine. I suppose if we all adopt the attitude that getting too close to one another has a serious potential to kill either of us then we can stay safe. Just a pity some people feel invincible, the ‘can’t happen to me’ idiots.

I wonder was it 'mis-sold' at the beginning...they more or less told the under 40's it doesn't affect them
