23rd March, 2020.
I think we can say it, can’t we?
The corona virus has killed normality.
To an extent!
The UK is looking at assorted shades of lock down, panic buying and closures.
I know I’m going to go shopping later.
And am very aware the shops are going to be … either crowded or empty.
One of the two.

I’m also very aware I’m jobhunting.
And, yesterday? Put in an application for my local Iceland.
For one of what the company’s calling a ‘seasonal temporary worker.’
A shelf stacker, in other words: refilling the shelves, over night.
I didn’t get it.
A company who want’s shelf stackers, at a time when shelves need refilling, fast, and a man that wants a job … ?
And a man who ends ups not getting it … ?
It’s seriously screwed up.
