Anyone going anywhere for spring break?

[DizzyDesii]

I’d love to be somewhere rn but i dont feel i can enjoy Vegas while wearing a mask. So i’ll just stay my ass at home. Plus, im having to work anyways. Pisses me off tho because with most of the students away, work has been slow and theyre cutting our hours bad. Yesterday i had to go in at 6am just for them to send me home at 10a. I didn't even reach my lunchbreak. Very sad that i won't reach the minimum 80 hours this check and am already down to 70 due to all the cutting. Im sure theyre doing this because they know the stimulus will make up for it. Oh well, i guess cut hours is better than working OT and a 12 hour shift 🤷‍♀️

I'm not going anywhere. I'm just working seven days a week for the next few weeks. Spring jobs came in with a vengeance this year.
You need a little bit of a rest. You deserve it. 80 hours a week will burn you out. It sucks having your hours cut but at least you are still working.

[DizzyDesii]

Oh no not a week unless you count the Ot times but wow 7 days is crazy. I went from being scheduled 6 days a week to them now only having me work 3-4 days. Theyre cutting us bad

[Wiredone]

Maybe you can find a part time job on your days off if you don't know what to do with yourself. Yeah I have to work 7 days a week for now. I'm booked until June and my phone is still ringing off the hook for more jobs. You can always come work with me on your days off. Lmfao

[DizzyDesii]

I definitely know what to do with myself. I gate working. Working isn't something i do for pleasure. I only work so i can earn the things i want. So getting a second job is unnecessary torture. My mental health is more important. And yea i’d love to work with you but not 7 long days

[Wiredone]

You're absolutely right, your mental health is more important. I only made that suggestion to get a part time job because if the cut hours will strap you financially, you can make up the difference.
I wouldn't make you work 7 days, I'm not a slave driver. You wouldn't mind working with electric?

[DizzyDesii]

What would i do lol? Computer related stuff or hands on electrical wiring?

[Wiredone]

My work is all hands on. Drilling holes, pulling wire, wiring the devices, digging trenches for landscape lighting, climbing ladders, going in attics and crawl spaces. It's a different job every day, sometimes a few jobs a day.

[DizzyDesii]

Ahhh outdoors. Lol im gonna have to pass. I’d be too busy running from bugs 😭🤣🙈

[Wiredone]

Hahaha. That's what bugspray is for. I'm allergic to bee stings. If I got stung I could die. I always wear bug spray in the spring, summer and fall

[DizzyDesii]

I freakout from even seeing ants lmao

[Wiredone]

I guess you would be climbing on your desk if you saw a spider on the floor huh.

[DizzyDesii]

I’d attack it with anything that sprays from afar lol

[Wiredone]

You have me laughing hysterically. I can just picture it. Do you scream when you see a bug too

[DizzyDesii]

No but i get wideeyed and chase it around with different sprays and throw any object i can at ot

[Wiredone]

You should just buy a fly swatter and keep it with you at all times. They make one that is extendable too. If you see a bug just pull it out of your desk and kill what ever it is. Then you don't have to go looking for the spray cans

[DizzyDesii]

Im too afraid to hit first. I have to spray to make sure its drowning first. Then its an easy target

[Wiredone]

You are so funny. You must be fun to be around.

[DizzyDesii]

Im pretty chill but often have a goofy side :)

[Wiredone]

Don't we all have a goofy side once in a while.

[DizzyDesii]

Mines more often than not. I just have to be comfortable first

[Wiredone]

If we were ever to meet would you be comfortable around me from talking on here or would you be nervous

[DizzyDesii]

Im sure i’d be fine

[Wiredone]

I know I would. I feel like I've known you a long time. You're a great person.

[DizzyDesii]

Thank you :)

[Wiredone]

You're welcome

[Wiredone]

Thank you for the mho

[Fromdusktilldawn]

Lol Vegas sounds cool, I'd love to go there too.
I first thought of going skiing in Switzerland but my country is back on their list of risky places and I would be forced to stay 10 days in quarantine

[DizzyDesii]

Vegas is overrated in terms of being fun but it was a relaxing getaway. I def wanna go back

[Fromdusktilldawn]

I was there once in summer 2011, the heat was terrible 😅 but it was fun. Yea most of it are tourist traps but once you know where to go to have fun and not get ripped off, its different.

[DizzyDesii]

I went in July, worse month with 117 degree weather lol

[Fromdusktilldawn]

And then you get a sore throat from the extreme temperature change because of tye strong AC

[DizzyDesii]

Lol not a sore throat but i had a stuffy nose. MS gets 101 degrees at most during summers. So 117 was a major jump in terms of humidity but not heat. Plus it was monsoon season so it rained a lot. I mainly went to vegas to shop and had to walk in the rain with all my bags haha

[Fromdusktilldawn]

Soon we get something like a monsoon climate here in Eurooe too. A weaker gulf stream gives us dry hot summers and heavy rainy winters.
Last summer we had temperatures like Vegas here

There is a coincidental event through a class I'm taking, that I hope to turn into my mini spring break. It is in a beach community not far from my home. I'll use a bit of my stimulus check to do it, just to get away.
But this place, I'll be staying in a cabin in a collection of cabins that are distant from each other. I stayed there before Memorial Day last year and it's a great place run by great people. Small and the people who stay there return all the time... So it's NOT overrun like the official spring break areas are. No need to keep my ass home. Quiet, safe, peaceful.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea thats a good deal

[Screenwriter]

What I'm saying is look around. I'm sure there are similar places where you are. Do a little research and find a good place that has regulars who return all the time and are there to relax, not raise a hubbub.

[DizzyDesii]

I have to work. Otherwise i’d be in vegas if it wasn't a pandemic. The places i wanna go draw crowds. If im just gonna sit around, i prefer to be at home. Im not really comfortable at other ppls houses

[jennifer_bloom]

I’m not in college right now so to me spring break does not have a big impact but some of my zoom meetings were cancelled cause of March Break in Canada but I am going to enjoy myself, I think I will take a day off, either from reading or from writing or from visiting Facebook, or from cooking, just to get in that celebratory mood.

[DizzyDesii]

I haven't been in college in 3 years lol. Just askin

[midnightmoon05]

Was going to go to Florida... but just went...
I need to learn to stay put... my family can never find me. My mom had to call my sister to call my daughter to get to me...
she could have just call me... no idea why she did that..
but no.. got other stuff planned... lots to do.

[DizzyDesii]

Dang def keep tabs with them in case something ever happens to you. My fam used to have me use this lifestyle app that lets them track me when i go outta state lol

[midnightmoon05]

Hahaha... sorry they did that... at lease you didn’t get kidnapped!! Yeah my ex husband have that app. with our kids.
I am the free spirit and let them go/do what they want just like how I don’t want others to track me. I give them the freedom as well.

[DizzyDesii]

They gave me the freedom but i went far away alone lol. Anyone couldve snatched me

[midnightmoon05]

That's cool! Go have fun!

[DJB72]

It's not exactly "spring break" but hopefully I'll be going away for a few days with my family next week. We've not had a chance to be just the three of us in 16 months, and I spent over half that in hospital.

I'm really looking forward to just being with my family. And I'm finally going to be back on my prosthetic leg 🥳

[DizzyDesii]

Im glad you're out of the hospital and back home 🙏

[DJB72]

If I never have to be in hospital again it'll be too soon!

Thanks for the supportive message

[AlexanderAnttila]

We did plan a small stay in Gothenburg. There is this exquisite classical hotel that I wish to try out. And it was a long time ago since I last went to the Swedish west coast. Otherwise I'm too preoccupied with my career, and international travel is off the table, Many countries have banned Swedes because our government hasn't implemented lockdowns.

[DizzyDesii]

Aww thats sad to hear :(

[AlexanderAnttila]

It's alright, eventually it'll be lifted.

[stardust2021]

Yeah.. don’t go to Vegas.. I know 2 people that both went to Vegas (separately) and came back with Covid.
I don’t have any time off.. so not going anywhere.

[DizzyDesii]

Damn vegas is basically FL then

[JDavid25]

I'm surprised with these Emperor mandated lockdowns people are still excited about goin places.. But I have no plans as usual.. LOL.. I need to start gettin ly life together and going places.. LOL..

[DizzyDesii]

We haven't had a lockdown since May

[JDavid25]

Well, true I forget Mississippi is a more conservative state.. So, yeah..

[Anonymous]

No because 1. I’m not a child. 2. I got places in other places of the world I want to see and you people spreading it is preventing it. Not to mention our troops can’t even come home when they’re begging you to stay home. People can’t even sit inside for two weeks. Pfft

[DizzyDesii]

#1 Not all spring breakers are “kids”. College students are adults since theyre 21+ and still get a spring break. #2 I don't know why you trippin anon when all i did was ask a question that you clearly didn't have to answer. #3 I’m not going anywhere since I’'ll be working thank you very much

[brebre234]

Covid is still going on so if I was still in college I probably most likely stay on campus since my old university canceled spring break.

[DizzyDesii]

Dang so they makin y'all have class instead?

[brebre234]

Yeah from what I heard. I graduated already but yeah lol. Some are not listening so I believe the cases in Florida (which is where my university is located) will increase. I know other universities did the same thing by canceling spring break. Its better safe than sorry.

[KingdomForAKiss]

Went to a theme park and took my daughter on some roller-coasters. Visited some friends and family. Having some relaxation time. Nothing wild but definitely fulfilling.

[DizzyDesii]

Oooo what park

[KingdomForAKiss]

Sea World!

[ariadneR]

I was off last week, I just stayed at home.
I was supposed to go to savannah, his time last year for my cousins wedding. But you know... but my credit lasts till 2025 so that's good I guess?

[DizzyDesii]

Flight credits?

[ariadneR]

Yeah. $500 with delta

[CrazyGirl2]

Nah, I already live near the beach. And with mask restrictions everywhere. There’s nowhere I’d really like to go!

[DizzyDesii]

Exactly. can't confirtably breathe in those things

[CrazyGirl2]

No! No I cannot! Even with a mesh mask (yes they make them! I’m 18 I had CoVid and didn’t even know, so I am 100% immune! Tell me again why I have to wear a mask? Oh and here’s a doozy I’m immune to CoVid yet as soon as they make the vaccine available to 18 and under… I have to get it or not be allowed in school!!! WTF? I have the greatest immunity there is… NATURAL IMMUNITY! This is crazy. They haven’t even tested the vaccine on children or pubescent adults like me. I may be 18 but puberty doesn’t end at 18, yet it’s untested and they want to force an immune teenager to get a needless, untested vaccine! But hey… the good news delivered by the President… if we behave like good little children wear out mask, get the vaccine, the whole 9 yards, we MAY be “permitted” to have a SMALL backyard bbq in FOUR MONTHS! The irony of THAT message on the ONE YEAR anniversary of the 15 day shutdown to “flatten the curve”! And people wonder why my family all left the Democratic Party!

[DizzyDesii]

can't believe i spelled comfortably that way 😂 i was watchin A Wrinkle in Time

[DizzyDesii]

And wow they require the vaac for school?

[CrazyGirl2]

They are taking about it right now, and everything else that the school board said “we are just in the discussion phase” they did it!

[CrazyGirl2]

And absolutely don’t worry about the misspelling, I understood what you meant, and I have dyslexia so believe me I am an Olympic gold medalist when it comes to spelling things in crazy ways!

[BillHe1]

I'm in Flagstaff AZ, with 4 families and kids on their Spring Break. We all drove in from Austin TX. Adults have all had at least 1 vaccination, some both doses.

[DizzyDesii]

Cool cool

[exitseven]

No. I wanted to drive to Florida for a week or so but it seems like too much trouble with the virus still going on. I plan on going to Maine next month if it doesn't snow.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea FL is the last place im tryna go this year

[Gedaria]

I'm wanting to go to France in April.
Working in Lyon then going to Nice for a couple of weeks rest.
But it looks like I will just be in my backyard Which I don't mind I have my hot tub and swim there.
So it's no great loss.

[DizzyDesii]

Whys that? Due to covid?

[Gedaria]

Yes. Plus the UK have just left the EU which is more aggro.

[Nic1330]

No I won't be going anywhere because even if I did I'd be required to abide by this social distancing and mask bullshit. On another note I have any extra money to have a good time.

[DizzyDesii]

Ahh i see

[BeachLuvR97]

How would cut hours be better than working time and a half? That's where the money's at.

What do you do?

I'd love to go to spring break and be a professional sunscreen applier to all of the ladies out there. Hells ya!

[DizzyDesii]

I dont care bout money like that. Us dept of ed

[Account]

We are on lockdown here, we can't really go anywhere.

[DizzyDesii]

Aww i see

[weysally]

where I live spring will be over before lockdown occurs, so no one will be going anywhere

[DizzyDesii]

Awww

[Jjpayne]

My job does not give me any time off 🙄🤦 but I hope you have fun if you do 😊

[DizzyDesii]

Wow why not

[Jjpayne]

I'm not sure 😅 maybe hospitality industry 🤔
