The Times They Are a-Changin'

By Jobless - 28/03/2020 14:00

Today, I woke up early, felt very energetic, decided to run a couple of miles and bought muffins for my colleagues on my way to the office. Then my boss told me they're shutting us down. At the end of a day that started really great, I'm jobless. FML

Today, I woke up at 5:30 and made the half hour drive to work only to find out that it was my day off. After finally getting back home and into bed, my boss called, requesting that I come back to work since I was "already up". FML

Today, I was supposed to start my first day of work at my dream job. However, my car had other plans and refused to start. When I called my boss to tell him I was going to be late, he told me not to come in at all and fired me on the spot. FML

Today, I got up at 4:30 am, went to my job as the newspaper guy. Nobody was there to open the door, it was raining and I was freezing. I decided to wait, because I really wanted my salary. At 6 o'clock my boss opens the door and says, "Oh, it's you. Well, you're fired. We can't pay you anymore." FML

Today, it was my first day of work at my new job. I got dressed and arrived early, only to find out that the store had closed due to a power outage. Then I found out that the person who'd hired me had totally forgotten about hiring me anyway. FML

Perfect timing

Today, I woke up late, didn't shave, didn't have time to iron my clothes, didn't eat breakfast, and ran into the office with beads of sweat running down my face. The meeting had been cancelled. FML

Have you looked at the news in the past month or so? You need to be running away from people and buying toilet paper that you'll hold on to until you get the all-clear to share them.

I really think your an idiot for not self isolating and going to stores. It’s because people like you who aren’t taking this serious that everything is shut down. Also we aren’t jobless it’s for the mean time and your government will help financially. Boo boo.

not everyone is so lucky. some of us have to keep working, even if not medical. not all governments are able to help enough, lots of employers aren't at all. a lot of financial aid is just now coming into play and may not even get to those in need soon enough. some people are in places that isolation means they lose their job. but calling OP an idiot is unfair. be part of the solution not the problem, especially in this shit storm...

Actually, this story may be a few days old, before the shit really hit the fan. This plague is moving so fast that what made sense a few days ago would seem like a death wish today.
