"I'm not on it  
Me neither - obviously expendable!
Aw c’mer you’s pair, I’ll let you hug a key worker  
Promises, promises!
I can do you a mean PowerPoint presentation of it helps!"
No PowerPoint needed on the hard face of keeping this county going I’m afraid
A rub down and happy ending after shift would catapult you to a key worker supporter though |

"Just because you're necessary doesn't mean you're important. "
Important??
Humour is something that people use as a coping skill. Whereas sarcasm can be the lowest form of wit!
No need to reply unless it’s positive. However I’m sure you’ll find it necessary and important to you. Which is fine as long as you find it as such... |

"Just because you're necessary doesn't mean you're important. that's where your wrong "
I’m on the list too
It’s funny as up until a few weeks ago I was ‘that slow wanker that blocks the fucking street up and thinks he owns the fucking road’
Now suddenly, I’m one of the saviours who works through the night so people can have what they want  |

I’m a key worker as I deal with gas and electric- I’m dealing now with customers who are in self isolation - the majority are great but you still get a couple of shall we say ungrateful fuckwits
Had a lady yesterday who wanted an engineer at her house within five mins - when I said no she told me to fuck off- had another lady with no power who said that she would not let the engineer in unless he wore a full decontamination suit and a gas mask - when I said I can’t guarantee that she told me to fuck off
People need to realise that life as they know it is gone and they can’t expect things immediately |

"Hope the local barbers stays open "
I was thinking that too yesterday - if they are not I’ll have to buy one of those lethal home cutting kits or just put a bowl over my head and cut round it - pudding bowl haircuts will be all the rage again !!!! |

Everyone has a role to play in everyday life. From the cleaner that empties your bins and cleans your toilets at work all the way up to the CEO. Unfortunately it takes strikes or situations like this for people to realise how important everyone’s job is to allow everyone to work in a clean and safe environment. |

"Has everyone been asked to ensure their id badge has an upto date picture on it and to update if not?
Wondering if that’s for if/when lockdown comes?"
Just been told to have vehicle pass visible when parking and to carry my ID at all times which I do anyway. |

I'm on the key worker list, would rather not be.
Nurse currently working in A and E. I didn't get a shiny new badge - I got a face mask and a bottle of hand sanitizer. Apparently with that I can save the world. |

My employer thinks we’re not at risk apparently.
Obviously the 90 people so far from work who are off are malingering in their eyes. |

"You get a vehicle pass? And free city centre parking?? Wait I must be missing something! "
Email from work saying keep my work car park pass on dash and allowed to park on street free.
Work and council came to an arrangement on Friday. |

"Lol rather have the parking. Get fed at the staff canteen "
Swap you passes. We have great canteen as well and basically that’s what’s keeping me going apart from a few staples around flat for days off. |

I know it says childcare but useful advice for anyone working in key jobs or in contact with the public..
????Really important for the teachers and childcare workers out there... ????
I know there are a lot of teachers and childcare workers going into work tomorrow
This is a message from an NHS anaesthetist.
Just a bit of advice for you teacher and childcare hero’s that you may want to pass on to your friends/colleagues/staff.
Latest evidence is you are less likely to catch virus from a child coughing but more from things they touch. They are likely to be entirely asymptomatic. So unfortunately virus likely to be all over surfaces. It can also live on skin/hair/clothes. Those with long hair - Tie it up. Think about taking off engagement rings/other jewellery.
If you are doing a shift at school or nursery, as soon as you get in, have a black bin liner ready just inside front door or back door and ensure your washing machine door is open. People can help you get this ready but should stay away during procedure.
Take off your clothes ????and place them all inside bin liner. Take bin liner straight to washing machine. Scrunch clothes into a ball. Do not touch ANY part of washing machine. Door should already be open. Carefully place clothes inside washing machine making sure you do not touch sides.
Go straight to shower. Do not touch door handles and if you have to, ensure they are wiped down after. Wash your body and HAIR thoroughly with soap/shampoo/shower gel.
You should now be virus free. You can go and shut washing machine and put it on.
Cell membranes of this virus are weak so all it takes is soap and water to kill it.

We all have a part to play, one careless person can undo a hundred “important” people’s efforts. Stay tight folks, and safe, there’s a huge amount at stake and it takes all of us to fight together  |

I also made it.. To be fair all I do is send garden material to hardware stores. Hardly keeping the country moving. I should be sat at home but because hardware stores are needed I have to put myself at risk on a daily basis. |

My daughter is a key worker and it worries me no end that she’s out there during this scary time. But she’s young & fit and keen and eager to do her bit and without people like her the country would be in chaos. |

"My sister just been told she is. Key worker she makes window blinds??? If it wasn’t for blinds it would be curtains for everyone!!!!
My Dad is a locksmith. He's a key-worker, too. "
This didn’t get the appreciation it deserves |

My employer has now given me a choice to decide.
Option 1, volunteer to continue working.
Option 2, go onto the governments corona virus support scheme (Furloughed) giving 80% of my income up to a maximum £2,500 a month.
Up to 3 month with extension possible.
I’ve decided on the second option and will finish up on Friday.
My reasoning is why put myself at even more risk when I can sit in house and get all those jobs I’ve been meaning to do for £20 less a day.
By the time I take fuel costs and other shift sundries into account it’ll work out pretty even anyway.  |
