      Some of us “essentials” pretended that nothing was going on at all and kept going to work because an actual shutdown of core parts of society would have been a total disaster. I’m totally for WFH situations where it makes sense, but some jobs require a physical presence even in a pandemic, otherwise the wheels stop for everyone.

      I continued to work in fast food through the height of the pandemic. I was able to take a couple months off while I was between jobs, but food wasn’t gonna buy itself.
