I finally manage some time OFF just this weekend though I'm not sure it was of any use to me with the current way of life required.
I work with livestock so I can not have time away (unlike some who work for the same company?) I multi task now so very long hours to cover others who are "away" I send my upmost thanks out to the front-line workers and my displeasure to those who hoard !!!!
I and my family are following the guidlines for social distancing and where we can we are shielding ( the wife ) disinfects door handles letterbox covers, gates and area's which others may come in contact with should they have need to visit our abode.
At work there are five sections (2 Sow units, 1 Fat unit split into free range and outdoor, 1 weener unit with two section, 1 indoor unit.) (I think
) in all a LOT of pigs! in normal days these work fine with staff to take food, bedding, medical and water requirements along with weighing and husbandry where required but currently the farm is running with less than half its required personnel even the mechanic (me) is turning hand to where he normally isnt required.
I know and understand some things can just stop (car sales, building industry and the like) but animals do not understand this and so my dilemma began.
Leaving for work around 5.00 AM and not returning home until 19.00 PM does not leave you with muc feeling to go shopping ! so when there is a chance you get to the store to find sheves empty ?
Ok so my family and I will not starve and as for tissue paper, well there is always a wash instead !
I really do not want to turn ito the moan vain so I will again thank the front line workers and those who have to continue with working as normally as possible.
THANK YOU
