I went into work yesterday and WOW.. so many people are bitter and upset. A lot of people at work are upset they have to cover for my friend, but she isn't able to come into work because her boss won't let her.

One co worker is upset because she has asthma and is overweight and she has to go into work with people who *might* have the rona. So she asked to get someone to cover for her... (She is vaccinated) and they said no. She is very bitter about that.

But I kind of can't agree with her. She has not so great boss and her not so great boss wants her in every 10 seconds... I used to have a not so great boss.. and I had to be in every 10 seconds... broken toe, come in, terrible cold, come in, sick to your stomach... come in... so bad that I maintained a search for something that would stop me getting colds (found in vitamin D). She isn't even sick, she is just concerned about being sick.

I have to say also, seeing the writing on the wall that eventually we were going to have to go back... and covid probably wouldn't be completely disposed of... I got my health in order and lost 40 lbs... But this co worker, with at least a year before she had to go into the office... didn't.

So I felt like saying "welcome to the party pal". Not to mention that I think she spread a rumor that people were covering for me on my vacation (which I had to take under use or lose) that they were covering for me because I was unvaccinated. Which was not true... I had scheduled a vacation properly and gotten coverage.

I also feel that these sort of people are ruining it for the rest of us. The constant jealousy and requests not to have to come in will just lead to the managers and such getting fed up with the entire thing. We all knew there might be a period in the future where we had a lot of work to make up for the work we didn't do at the start of the pandemic...

I mean we have been home for 20 months -- that is a crazy gift.

This whole thing is just crazy... everyone is upset at everything.
