Back to Work By September!

I worked during the entire pandemic so far .. can everyone else say the same thing? C'mon inside!

Didn't PLAN of making any more Covid related captions, but the delta variant is doing a good job of prolonging things and making me wonder if there is going to be a backslide, or if this is just a passing thing that will be over quite soon. Either way, I thought this caption could work as a "moment in time" where all our moments in the last year and a half have been quite memorable.

I'm sort of proud for working these last 17 months or so .. but then again, I had a job that valued me and tried the best they could to keep me safe, while keeping the place open and working as close to full capacity as possible, given all the changes that needed to be made in society and business in general.

Other friends of mine got shit-canned and as soon as the shit started to hit the fan in their industries, and just took whatever job they could, and slaved under those conditions since. A few others were able to collect unemployment and ride it out. Some handled it well mentally .. and others have not. I have a friend that lost his job in January, and it really took a chunk out of his self-esteem. His wife is still working, and paying all the bills since then (someone used his name and SS# to falsely claim in 2020, and it's still not resolved as of a few weeks ago) and he's been doing house-work, cooking for the misses, etc ..

She's a bit weird with it too .. 'I didn't marry a damn housewife' is one of the things she's told me, and she's also said she wants a partner, not a docile sub. I found it ironic that around this blog, most of the guys probably would like to be in that situation, but I'm also guessing at least a few of you would have spouses that feel the way my friend's wife does (and honestly, I'm more friends with her than him, so I get her unfiltered thoughts straight from the source.) They'll work things out I'm sure, as he does have a few leads now for a job, but it did put me in a mindset for writing this one up.

And it is a different situation, but I have certainly seen how just not having a job can influence how males can feel, especially when they are no longer the 'provider' .. both on his account and how his spouse can perceive the situation. Of course, I took all this in s "Dee" direction specifically for this blog, but I wonder if this could be something that happens a lot more than I had ever thought.

I'm quite dominant in most of my relationships, but if I ever happened to be involved with a rich woman, or some lady who has a kick-ass job .. would I fall down that rabbit hole as well? My friend had NEVER collected unemployment or been without a job for 34 years, and I'm guessing a big part of who he was, was in that mindset. Same here for myself .. I wouldn't even know how to file or where to go. Could I handle that situation, and go along with the whole emasculation / feminization aspect, or give in to my male ego / pride and walk away, even if I loved the woman? Definitely a topic I'd like people to comment on down below .. especially since I know I have some sissies that visit here often. Let's discuss! Of course, it's a blog exclusive, so you could just talk about the caption as well.

Just had to pick one of these old Conan clips from the early 2000's. Epic stuff and I'll miss his show!
