Corona virus update


In this past week I spoke to one of my co workers who told me basically she is not getting vaccinated 

Another one of my coworkers is also not getting vaccinated 

I can detach pretty quickly.  However the barriers around COVID are far more then basic. Wearing a mask all the time is beyond tedious. The social distancing issues are still in place 

In theory at some point employers have to ask about vaccination 

I most certainly am better at detaching these days. Nevertheless all these people who refuse to be vaccinated are more than tiresome 

I will have to work really hard to remain detached

In my neck of the woods there's no restrictions anymore. No mask or social distancing mandates anymore. Everything is back to "normal". But I need to add that the virus is still running rampant and we are still on " high alert".

I have still been wearing my mask most of the time. I have complained about wearing it so much yet now that I don't have to it's a hard adjustment to make. I am gradually becoming more comfortable without it though.

Many here refuse to get vaccinated. I don't judge them for it,I see it as a personal choice. I don't push others to get it,even my own adult children that haven't. I know I have no control over what they do. I'm not sure what's best for anyone anyway.

My view on it is I have been vaccinated and it hasn't been right or fair that there's been so many restrictions to protect those that refuse to.

Some think the virus isn't even real. A friend just almost died from it. I do tell people that fact. It's all I can do.

I do worry about the ones not vaccinated but all I can do is hope for the best.

The facts are perceived differently and we live in a free country.

If I were to keep those two details in mind, then wearing my mask because others

are not doing what I did, get vaccinated, then that is what I will do, because I can

not make someone do or believe what I want them too. Thank you Al-Anon!!

Maresie,

I agree that at some point employers have to ask about vaccination.

Are you mandated to wear a mask and social distance at work? If so,to me it's not really fair to those that have been vaccinated.

Well it is not so much that I want them to wear a mask. I just feel like they are not living on the same planet I am

Remember I am pretty good at not seeing red flags. One woman is someone I like but there are things s little off about her. This is one of them

The other one can be unbelievably abrupt

I like to see red flags. I don't like them to creep up on me

We are definitely still wearing masks
The social distancing was another matter. That was not happening. Then a bunch of people got sick.

This virus gas created hardship I already had hardship so then got some more. I try to limit hardship

I really am incredibly cautious at work. One of my co workers went off on me. I did not see it coming
Then another one was incredibly rude
I can only tolerate so much so I am boundaried up.

Maresie888, I do commiserate with you concerning having to work with people who

are incredible difficult. I think I said it before, in a different post concerning this

subject, that I wish I had a better handle on my Al-Anon tools, because one individual

literally sent me home and that night I was in the hospital with colitis. So sad on my

part, that I allowed the person to do that to me!!

I most definitely have to deal with work related stress. S ik me jobs are easier than others but it is a constant longing issue 

 

I have worked real hard to get myself to this place 

You are right without al anon tools I would be having physical symptoms.
