Like a month or so ago at the resthome, my one (new) (Jamaican) coworker who's from (Florida) was saying that back when the pandemic began, she switched to doing call center work from her house to keep safe, and it kept her safe, but it really got to her that she didn't see anyone all day since she's a people person, and so it turned out just simply not to be worth it, because of all the anxiety that it caused her.
She also said that she agrees with me that she'd rather have time than money, once your simple needs are met, and she's already checking Social Security levels to see what's the very earliest possible time that she can retire.
"Some people work so hard all their lives, then they retire to enjoy themselves, but they can't do anything any more," she was like. "What's the point of that?"
