Euphemisms instead of saying... you know what...

I felt very odd today, and I’m not entirely sure why. I guess everyone will have ‘off days’ every so often through this weirdness. Today was my turn. I had a day in the office and I felt very lonely and strangely vulnerable.  It’s hard knowing how to order stock and stuff when you just don’t know how much of anything we’ll be selling, because we don’t know how many people will be allowed out to play, and when.

I’m finding it all a bit tiresome, to be honest. I like change, but the novelty is wearing off.

I don’t know, maybe I’m just tired.

By way of a distraction, here are some of the phrases I have used recently to stop me having to say any combination of ‘coronavirus’, ‘pandemic’ or ‘crisis’:

The current situation

This unpleasantness

This weirdness

The virus-thing

Where We Are Now

This shitty illness

This current malarkey

The current circumstances

The obvious

I’m nothing if not resourceful with phrases.
