I have decided to make a public annoucement.
.
With a heavy heart, and after considerable thought and many sleepless nights, I have come to understand how important my mental and physical health are to me and my family. The impact of this pandemic has been relentless and I am simply a victim.
I worked hard. I stayed safe. I did not risk my life and take hydroxychloroquine. I have worn my mask 24 X7 in my basement in case my dog could be a plague carrier. Most importantly, I have remembered that we are all in this together.
But despite my best efforts, I have failed. The outward signs are apparent - my waistline has grown substantially this year, and just the other day I struggled to catch my breath when taking the stairs. And I saw a really big spider.
All that to say - I have struggled with this decision for too long now, and though I will miss my co-workers, I have come to the conclusion that it is best that I opt out of work the remainder of this year.
At that time, I will reevaluate my decision and the construction of soft safe spaces.
I have sent in my letter to HR letting them know my decision, to begin the process to confirm my direct deposit information and the continuation of my substantial bi-weely paycheck - as well as my over-the top benefits including viagra for free (I dont need it, it is one of my rights).
I will work hard to monitor the situation and expect to be notified when it is ok to return and reassess.
Please respect my decision and please, no interviews. It's a business decision.
XOXO
