Good morning, everyone!!!
It saddens me to write this blog, but I have to get this stuff out of my system or I will explode in my reality.
When this virus hit our country I was taking over for my boss who had surgery. Every day something new was coming down from our corporate headquarters on changes we needed to make at our store to keep our customers and ourselves safe. My people are taking this very seriously. We sanitize hourly (and more) to keep the public safe when they come into our store. We wash our hands, sanitize our hands and clothes often, and pray a lot that we won't get this and take it home to our families.
Yet, each day we deal with people who are supposed to be staying home, safe in their houses, who've been put off work to help keep this under control, yet, here they are at our store grabbing a fountain pop because in their opinion 'it's essential' Yes, that is exactly what we hear.
Now what you don't get to hear because my people and myself are too polite to say anything, okay, maybe it isn't that we're too polite to say anything but we do need our jobs in the end.
Is that fountain pop worth risking not only your life but ours as well? Do you realize every time you go out in the world you risk getting this virus or giving this virus to others?
Why are we open then??? Because our company provides essential items such as fuel for vehicles to those who are still required to go to work each day. You know police officers, firemen, and most of all our nursing staff that are out there trying their damn best to keep people alive.
Since this virus has hit I've seen way too many people who are just all too self centered. I'm not saying don't go get food to feed your family, but don't take the whole damn family to do it. Let one person go to the store, get your supplies, then get home. When you get home, wash yourself, wash your clothing, and don't touch anyone until you have done so.
This is a serious matter. People every day are being diagnosed and even dying. But yet, the majority of the population are acting as if this is some sort of vacation. So it keeps spreading and spreading. Then I hear all sorts of political bullshit because human nature is naturally going to try to blame anyone but ourselves.
This isn't a political issue folks, this is a humanity issue. I told my mother not so long ago, how can we expect people to think of others when we play hell getting them to realize how important their own life is??? This virus has shown that in spades.
I know it's hard to stay home for some of you social butterflies, but people, you need to realize death isn't a joke. It is real, it is forever, and contrary to belief, it is final and no one is above it. It comes to all of us sooner or later. If you can prevent just one death by staying home, then please I beg you to do so.
If you are like me and have to work out in this world during this please stay safe. My thoughts and prayers are with you daily. My gut tightens every time I see someone out who has no valid reason to be out other than they just want to get out of the house for a moment. You are the ones that keep my stress levels up and my worry button going.
We act so entitled these days. It is this attitude that is keeping this thing spreading, no President or Politician. We need to start taking responsibility for our own actions. You want to go outside, wonderful, go outside and explore your own yard. I bet there are things out there you never knew existed. Practice social distancing and quit giving workers who have to be at work every day a hard time for putting in place social distancing in their work place.
Instead of placing blame ask yourself, what am I doing to help stop this virus on my level? How often each day are you leaving your house? How often are you going to your local Walmart and browsing the isles? Instead of going to the store five times a day because you want a fountain pop, try buying two liters or cans. No, it's not the same, but I promise when this is all over those fountain pops will still be there waiting for you.
If I see one more meme placing blame on Political figures for something this entitled Country has deemed them responsible for I will probably explode. Because frankly, the blame lies within each of us, no one else. We need to step up and be responsible for our actions. Because frankly, these Political figures from the President all the way down to city government has reminded people over and over and over again to STAY HOME!!! When do you listen???
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
