    I worked for the hospital system… I only remember dreading tomorrow and wishing for a moment to catch my breath. I didn’t really get to work from home and I rarely got time off outside of my schedule.

    It sucked! I didn’t even get to enjoy other people’s enjoyment 👎

      I live in a country where the vaccination rate barely reached 40%, I just remember being depressed and disappointed at the lack of humanity and empathy of my fellow countrymen not to mention the amount of stupid shit being posted online.

      Hey thanks for eating it. You sign up and you’re like this will be tough, but you don’t realize how tough it’ll be sometimes right? I’ve always appreciated being able to commiserate with people who did it. I dunno if there’s name for that, but talking to people who walked the walk somehow makes it easier.

      I hope you’re part of a system that appreciates the sacrifice. Where I’m from, I see nurses striking, looking for better conditions, and so I hope there are better days ahead, and it shouldn’t take a worldwide crisis to shine light on it.

        I was part of a skeleton IT crew, we couldn’t fill positions and ran most of the pandemic with only half of the fte positions filled. I was able to move on to a better position and I’m friends with those folks I worked with. We will probably always be close, we lost 5 employees to COVID and we all bonded from the life and death experiences
