At least one good thing...don't dread going in like I did before. Being in retail...have a VERY low threshhold for "Karens". This is why I ended up in receiving & enjoy being there. Now...I can actually deal with people & not feel dread.

Actually...I did in the past. Have two BA degrees...one if communications from 1986 & the first one from 1984 in drama. In the former...ended up having my employment being taken over by technology from satellites/computers. The first degree was never able to afford living in an area where it would be useful.

Add to that...ended up going into education as a substitute teacher & a teacher's aide. With Covid...either of these are dead ends with possible shut downs when things go south. Loved being the teacher's aide at one time.

.... A man went looking for America, and he couldn't find it anywhere.
