I'm sick of it too--and I'm not stuck at home. I warned my 15yo today that it looks like we'll be home for Christmas and he was not happy about it. He's been home all school year (first because his district defied state law and started online, and now because his 2nd term classes are all online regardless of whether or not the district is online only or hybrid). His district was the only one in the state that didn't get to do fall activities because they were (illegally) online, so no football or marching band for him. Thankfully he does not do a winter sport because those are on hold for most of the area, but it also means they can't start meeting for weights for football or baseball yet either. I feel so bad for him that he's home all day, especially since he has a car, but can't go anywhere because he only has a school permit--I think even being able to drive to Chick-fil-A to pick up lunch would be good for him. I felt so bad for him that I started looking into room costs at our favorite resort in Wisconsin Dells, even though I know it's not a good idea.

I'm gonna be a bitch right now and wish you get Covid- just enough to be sick. sorry, not sorry. This is where I'm at right now mentally. I hope all the people who aren't following stay at home orders and who can't seem to grasp that people need to stay home get sick. They're the ones prolonging this shit. Australia shut down and they're basically back to life and putting out hot spots. We have so many hot spots here that we can't put them out. And contact tracing is a joke here. Fines? People won't pay them so it doesn't matter. When you have nothing, you can't have anything taken away. I’m not under a stay at home order. I have broken no laws or rules. What magical location do you live in where COVID doesn’t exist. Last I checked, it’s a PANDEMIC. That means world wide.

I’m not under a stay at home order. I have broken no laws or rules. Nope. You’re just a selfish bitch. Not all of us live under stay at home orders and not all of us can completely isolate ourselves and our families at home 24/7. I'm not a selfish bitch because I don't have grocery delivery in my small town and go grocery shopping, nor am I because I have to take my mother to her Dr. appointments and yes I even get my haircut. Yesterday I even went to the DMV because my drivers license needed to be renewed. Do I wear a mask and all that? Absolutely! DH and I try to be careful and so far no covid for either of us.

That's significantly different than going to NASCAR events, Disney, Hollywood Studios, and generally enjoying large gatherings of people in addition to the necessary outings for food and work which is something that a lot of people are still doing like they live in a f'ing bubble and their actions don't impact anyone else. Those actions are exactly why we are watching friends and family get sick and die - because FREEDOM! Screw everyone else. Let them stay home but I'm not going to! That attitude is why this country is in position we're in and why some of us are losing our ever-loving minds because we've been trying to be good citizens of the world and do what we can to help stop the spread of this disease. Stay home unless you have to for a relatively short period of time in the grand scheme of things so we can get the hell back to some semblance of normal life. I am so done with the excuses and carelessness of people. It's not a hoax, it IS worse than the flu for some people, it IS deadlier than the flu. The ignorance and arrogance I've seen these past 9 months is astounding and I am done trying to be nice to people about it. So yes - I have quarantine fatigue and I want to slap people regularly.

I echo what everyone else has said. The only thing I like about quarantine is the fact that I can work remotely. I love it and will be super grumpy when I have to go back into the office. Between the election, BLM, and quarantine I'm disgusted at how my fellow Americans have handled these challenges. DISGUSTED. I see a lot of people differently now. I feel like every damn day I'm seeing a new "Karen" video and I cannot fathom how people think this behavior, towards another person, is acceptable. It's disgusting. I guess that's my word for 2020: Disgusting. I'll send all of that! I love working from home and don't miss my hour-each way commute.

You are just a selfish person who is a perfect example of the problem we're dealing with in this country. I understand that staying home is hard on some people but for goodness sake is there no other option other than all in? Is it truly either I'm going to do every single thing I want to and I don't care what impact it could have on others or can I maybe find some things to do that will help us get through this without potentially impacting others around me - you know, like hiking, taking a bike ride in a new place, planning a day trip with a picnic and a photography treasure hunt? You know-activities that limit your contact with a lot of other people? I can't imagine living my life like no one else matters, but apparently it works for you.

I am 100% over it.
I miss my friends. I miss Target.
I am exhausted at work to the point of it impacting my mental health. I have spent over $600 this year out of my own pocket to buy supplies for my students to continue their education in a safe way. Little things... extra manipulatives, dice, mini-clocks, etc... Things that have to be used for second graders to grasp hard concepts.
I am tired of making 3 sets of lesson plans each week. In person, remote, quarantine.
I am tired of feeling like I can’t fully be present with the kids in front of me because the minority behind the computer need me too.
I am tired of getting my peeps taken to cover classes because there are no subs.
I am just so tired. To the bone exhausted.

Not sure if this belongs in this thread but I thought of it as I was reading some of the replies. So last week I had to go to Costco and they are open very early in the morning for those of us who are the age of 60 and over. Unfortunately I didn’t get there till about 930 but not a big deal. So I went in hardly anybody in there, everybody wearing masks appropriately and I felt very safe. I was maybe in there 20 minutes.
Long story short, I had a couple other places I had to stop because I needed a new stove because mine decided to stop working so on my way home I stopped at a local sub shop called DiBellas. Their subs are awesome and I had a five dollar coupon. They have taken extreme precautions in there to provide a lot of safety etc. So I went to sit down and wait for my order and this young man came in probably maybe late 20s. He had his mask down around his mouth not covering his nose. The manager walked over and said we are not taking your order until you put your mask on correctly. I was impressed because it’s the first time I’ve been anywhere that someone has had it on wrong and has been asked to fix it. The young man absolutely followed the direction, put it up over his nose and placed his order. There was no anger, there was no sense of a confrontation coming and I told the manager as I was leaving that I greatly appreciated what he had asked the young man to do. Maybe if more places enforced the mask wearing rules, maybe, just maybe we’d see a change.

I have to go to the office so I minimize my other outings in order to keep myself and others safer. See how that works? I truly cannot wrap my mind around your thought process.

The sanitizing, distancing, and mask enforcement are all better here than at school. Why should we do the things we feel are most dangerous and avoid the things we feel are more safe?

So while you feel safe, my state is a raging dumpster fire of increasing cases and there are no rules here either. But you are interacting with me, and if you are spreading the germs, I’m in your path too.

You won't though. And that's very sad. This is about minimizing risk. Not all of us can eliminate it. That's not possible. But we can do what we need to do to minimize it. And you aren't doing it. Your choices on this one impact others.

Maybe you’re under the impression that your county judge issued a plea for people to stay home for all but essential outings just for fun? And your husband - if he was my co-worker, I’d be pissed. Responsible and caring teachers are making an effort to NOT bring the virus back to school to infect others. We can’t help that we’re in person, but we can take steps not to make it worse. I am so goddamn sick of people like you. If your husband worked at my school, he’d be a pariah, and your family would be the one that somehow never ended up on anyone’s birthday party list when this is over. And of course you’re endangering your kids again with your childish and irresponsible behavior. What the hell is wrong with you?

So, not real worried about the pariah thing.

What the hell is wrong with you? There is a complete lack of empathy. In all her years here, she has never once shown compassion to anyone. Never a prayer said, never a comfort given, never anything remotely expressing feelings at all. She can't even restrain herself from correcting a grammatical error. There has never been any kindness from her. And bringing up feeling suicidal is just a slap to those who really deal with issues such as this. And we as a board are still entertaining her. That's what we are to her, entertainment. Who else would come back to a board when they get slapped like this except someone who has absolutely no self awareness. Peas, let it go. And I feel bad having said this, but truly, I just can't find the silver lining here. I cannot find the good.

myshelly is not the only spoiled selfish brat -
A 58 year old co-worker in a different part of our building took a trip to Florida with his spouse a week before Thanksgiving. He said his wife just "couldn't take being locked up anymore". They flew back home and both tested positive for COVID 3 days later.
His wife had mild symptoms and he ended up in the hospital for a week and still is fighting exhaustion and has trouble breathing. There wasn't much sympathy here. The general consensus around work was, "Well I hope that vacation was worth it."
I can only imagine how many others they spread the virus to.

Do you have it? I sure do! And it is because I am tired of seeing people on IG going to Cabo for Thanksgiving weekend, having girl night slumber party, having a bridal shower, etc. And then people complaining that masks don’t work because we are locked down again. Sigh! Ok, vent over. Just getting frustrated with people I know and how this is changing my view about some of them. OMG YES!!!!! Most of the ones that I know who are doing it are FAMILIES!! With kids! WTF!? THIS is why we can't get this under control. I'm sad, and mad, and frustrated, and honestly, sometimes it takes all I have to not just scream at them for being so stupid & selfish!!

You’re selfish scum. Covid-ridden? Lol Maybe take a step back and stop letting her get your goat. There's really no reason for this level of anger. Disney isn't closed, she's not under stay at home orders, assumedly she's following the rules at Disney, and I just don't see the point of all this anger at her. You know how she is yet you keep taking the bait, and I can't imagine you feel any better for it.
