50 Renowned Posts That Ended Up On The “Internet Hall Of Fame” Twitter Account

And some of us worked 14 hour days without a break for 18 months trying to keep businesses afloat so that there were still jobs for people to come back to. Some Healthcare workers and essential store employees were literally putting their lives on the line. Don’t mean to sound bitter and twisted but these posts annoy the hell out of me. Not everyone was baking bread and dancing.

Sigh.. I worked in a hospital. Nuff said. I'm still tired.

I worked the whole time so I didn't get to make any plants or dance with any bread.

For me, it was a paradise on Earth.

And the planet could breathe, wildlife had more space to roam, the skies were clear...ah those were the days...

Preach

And us working in health care near lost our minds

Nope. But I wish I could have. Instead, I was working nonstop as an essential employee with no hazard pay and after a few months, I actually caught Covid. I completely blame my former place of employment for forcing us to work even when it was obvious some of the employees had it. Looking back, it's pretty obvious they didn't care about any of us. So naturally, I returned the favor by not caring about the company up until the day I resigned.

This is only true for some people. For the parents working from home and simultaneously teaching three children how to read and do math online? That SUCKED.

Nope. Sure don't. I was working 15 HR days. Quarantine was exactly like every other day of my capitalist nightmare life. Only with the added bonus of quite possible death.

I now smoke more than before covid.

I remember when thousands of small businesses were forced to shut down, lives we're destroyed, mental health took an enormous drop and the already super high suicide rate among teens sky rocketed even further all while the politicians continued to with and make money off their voters suffering. I also remember the 1% saying "we're all in this together," and those that fought against the lockdowns were treated like scum only to eventually be found out masks and lockdowns don't work later but never given an apology.

My partner and I took train rides in many countries via Youtube, nice to see the sights. We'd even log on to Google Street View and explore some areas.

I really kind of miss those days!

Remember wild animals returning to the streets and the waters of Venice getting so clean that you could see the canal floor? Heck, it kinda confirmed that it only takes removing people to make things better...

I work at a pharmacy...so no, I never got to experience that. Just people waiting in line for toilet paper as we put it out, screaming at each other about whether others should be wearing masks or not, and probably the most surprising part was how grateful and nice people were about getting the Covid vaccine. Usually, people are just mean and inpatient.

No

My goddess, I loved it. Except for the potential of mass casualties obviously. Thankfully we didn’t get those.

I remember

Um no, I and hundreds of thousands of other "essential" workers were putting our lives in danger every day so you could go buy video games at walmart

No, some of us were in survival mode for the whole pandemic. I wish I could relate...

I remember I was working 60+ hours a week

My job is essential, so I didn't experience that. And when I'm not working I'm a homebody, So really, aside from being more tense at work, nothing changed for me.

Actually, I lived that life back in 1984 for 2 years.

I was a manager at Walmart. I worked 70 hou weeks and had to body guard toilet paper.

"dancing" okay yes but ballet class in the living room was NOT fun

What was quarantine?

This, all of this!!! It deserves many more upvotes. It was a glimpse, and I cannot fathom why we're giving it up again. We'll, I'm not, but yeah. I started a farm and I'm never looking back!! (50X100 ft garden, raising chickens and turkeys.), been fighting to get back to this life for 20 years, never ever giving it up
