My company is having people work from home unless you work on the assembly and test line which I do as one of the lead Manufacturing Engineers. We make products that, among other things, help prevent the spread of the virus. You almost certainly seen one of them. Please no guesses what they are on the board. The stress level is unbelievable for those of us who have to show up. Months ago I planned to retire on May 1st and I am sticking to it. What a weird time to retire!
I have been there over 14 years and some of my co-workers go back with me nearly 30 years from a different place where we all used to work. I will miss many of them very much. My retirement plans of travelling around for live music are on hold for the time being obviously. I am banging around alone in my house with not much to do. Hell if I am not saving a ton of money though. Normally my main expenses are concert tickets, nice dinners out and poor choices in woman friends.
I go from anxiety to dread to optimism and back. I hate this.
