What has made you Angry Today???????

The COVID-19 message has been flogged to death on site, so what does one of my contractors do, he waits 3 days before reporting to the medical clinic saying he is feeling nausous and now he is in isolation in camp, awaiting outcome of tests. Rule 1 if ill stay in room, rule 2, if ill, notify immediately, stay in your room, rule 3 if in a particular 'at risk group - aboriginal, take extra care, refer to 1 and 2 - WTF is wrong with people. Heading back to camp now to wake a guy up on night shift and move him out of his room as these guys share a bathroom. I guess you cant put brains in statues.

Covid -19 strikes again. Specialist Rubber Contractors have been ordered to leave the country by the Polish Government on a charter flight in 2 days. The job will have to be 'suspended'. I have to tell 40 guys they don't have a job tomorrow - not going to be a walk in the park by any imagination.

This COVID 19 (Coronavirus) has affected us all in one way or another.

In my case, tomorrow morning I join the Centrelink telephone queue as I'm no longer able to work as a driving school instructor, due to social distancing.

To add to my challenge of being temporarily unemployed, my regular 5 year colonoscopy I had in a bush hospital, requires follow up surgery in a city hospital. I got told surgery will be in 2 weeks time - as at last week, so I'm just waiting on a phone call with a date. It's not a major issue, but it needs sorting sooner rather than later. Like I've said to a lot of people, if it was really urgent, they would have flown me out by Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

I can't afford to be angry and have to stay focused and as healthy as I can as I await surgery.

What I am angry about is people not playing by the rules. The longer people rebel against authority by not doing what they're told, the longer this thing will drag out, and the more it will spread.

It doesn't matter if you agree with the rules or not, you must, not should, obey them.

I don't live in or with fear, anxiety, stress or worry. Of course I'm concerned, that's why I'm playing by the rules.

Take care out there and stay safe.

One of my daughters joins the unemployment queue next week, she was working 3 jobs, a swimming centre 2 days a week, a clinical lab with any shifts she could get and at Kmart with any shifts she could get, all have dried up.
She is also studying and has said she will now be able to finish her studying faster, I love her attitude.
What scares her is going into centrelink, she has never been in there before.

Unfortunately this has severely affected a lot of my family and their partners. One totally stood down, another on four days a week and that dries up in the very near future. Some of the others are just waiting for the inevitable, tough when they all have mortgages.

We’ve been in total isolation for over two weeks now, only outing has been to the specialist.
Sure am missing the grandkids, FaceTime just isn’t the same as a real hug. We used to babysit one a couple of days a week and loved it, also regularly picked up another one from primary school.
They are struggling to understand this and it’s pissing me off that people don’t get the message. To kill this we need a total isolation and it should have started weeks ago.

The way it’s going we’ll be isolated for six months. We now have groceries delivered and in the process of getting prescriptions delivered as well. Just need to setup Telehealth if possible, anything else we need the kids will drop off. My superannuation is also taking a severe hammering and at my age that’s an issue.

On a positive note, I’m getting all those little jobs done around the house. Just hope the arse doesn’t fall out of the realestate market.

I know what it is like missing the grandkids, my oldest son and family went into total isolation early because of his lung issues and we haven't seen grandkids in 2 weeks, already seams like an eternity.
Stay safe everybody.

This is whats going to be the downfall of all of us. Stubborn humanity!
My job takes me all over the place daily, and i get to see lots. And even today, I am seeing a lot of "business as usual" scenes, everywhere. Playgrounds are full. I have driven past 3, yes , 3!!! Which were packed with families, kids.Right next to my house, there was 15-20 blokes having a casual cricket match on the oval. My own court where i live, large family gatherings for birthdays, etc have been happening. Saturday got a call out to a house, where they had a jumping castle being prepared for a large kids party...


And here I am, stressing about stopping at shops after work to take bread and milk back home to the family, without catching this chinese c*** of a thing. Makes me mad!
