After a week of no work

So, we didn't work this past week and we will resume again tomorrow. This is what I fear about that we will work only for every other week. I hope I can find a way to earn during our non working days. It is quite hard to live like this. I hope everything will be normal soon for all of us who are really affected by this current situation.

That's difficult. I hope you can be allowed to work so you can earn what you need.

Yeah, hopefully we can work normally soon. A week of work cannot sustain my family needs for two weeks.

That is indeed a difficult situation. Hopefully, you find an alternate source of income that you can do on the weeks that you aren't working. Something to do on the side while still keeping your full-time work.

@allen0187 Yes, my friend. My brother already apply for a better internet at home, so I think once installed I will earn a bit online.

I know it is difficult this season to be working but not on a regular basis. Did you try online teaching?

I'm so sorry your work has been cut in half. At least you still have a job, unlike so many who lost there's completely. Hopefully, things will resume to normal soon.

I agree. Some small business here in our area closes for good.

it's a tough thing as only 15 days of work in a month and 15 days not. it will be a very critical time and wish soon everything will be alright as before.

I guess we have the same situation we only work 3 days a week because of the current pandemic that greatly affects most of the companies in the whole world.
