Distinct Lunatic Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 For the school district in my city they were eying August to return as we normally would, but now the board has no real clue on when it will happen. Some people even tossed around the idea that it might not be until January when the kids will go back, or one possibility is they return as scheduled but if this thing picks back up then them take off the second half of the school year.

DBZ4ever Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Be glad you don't have to be out in this. I wish we could have stayed home longer and drawn unemployment for another month at least before coming back. I'm glad there was a coming back but it still sucks. You know how many people come into a library the size of the one/system I work for? Too many. All the books exchanging hands and people being at the same place at the same time. My one good thing is that the department I work in is both very isolated from the rest of the library building and our department is pretty isolated from each other. There are days where we barely talk to one another because our jobs require us to do our own thing and only interact when we have to or want to make small talk. Today for example I think I literally for the entire 8 and half hours only said have a nice night when leaving. We are all well over 6 feet apart too. So again that is all good but we do have interactions with the staff on the other levels of the library when going to the break room and restrooms and stuff(I really feel for them too since they have to deal with so many people every day with all this going on as cases rise in the city.)
