Staying ‘Up Over’ for a while.
On your 'whey'!
So...Will is out of a job. He got a phonecall today from his boss to say she is closing the Cheese Factory... for 6 months at least. She asked if he thought he would be around in 6 months to go back. I assume she meant able to go back to his job and not if he thought he would still be alive. I really hope he isn't...I mean able to go back to his job. (Of course I hope he is still alive in 6 months.) The sad thing is he loved that job, the social isolation of it all but the business was badly run and apart from Will the staff turnover was pretty regular. I think it is a good job he is out of it and away from her finally.So whatever next?
Closed!
So...the 'Book Cave' closed today as did the Australian border. Only Australian Citizens and Permanent Residents can now enter the country. Unfortunately they can't get into the 'Book Cave' because that is closed to everyone except staff of course. Yes, staff will still be working behind closed doors and hopefully find some way of still being able to provide some service to our community. Being casually employed I was a little concerned about what would happen to the likes of me but it seems we will still get some hours in the week for as long as we or the 'Book Cave' remain virus free.Most customers have taken the news well but some feel it an over- reaction. I think after hearing 450 people died yesterday in Italy, which is one sixth of their total of deaths occurring in one day, we cannot be complacent about all this. We really do not need to hoard toilet paper however but we do need to make sure we take more care of ourselves and, where we can, of others.It is a time for kindness but be safe all.
