    lol sort of related but: i remember back during early Covid we were hoping each department would get assigned a few young guardsman to help us do our shit work because of the overwhelming volume.

    our shelves were bare and i had food from restaurants i had to process and pack for sale without the proper facilities. didn't have the workforce to feed people even working 60+ hr 7 day weeks.

    this was during the early few weeks of "the entire state is going to mobilize for war against covid" and everyone, regardless of politics, were getting ready for a big collective action

    always thought it was funny how quickly mechanisms activated to destroy that faint consciousness

      early covid was surreal. for me, my spot quickly closed down (like april 2020 we shuttered for good) so i just sat at home on my lil computer screen collecting berniebux watching everything unfold. i reentered the workforce sometime late in 2022 after most shit had popped off. idk how the fuck i would've coped with being employed during all of that.
