Our Social Committee for Staff is Still Hard at Work

by The Social Committee

From the Editor: The staff at the National Federation of the Blind Jernigan Institute is a positive, hardworking group. Part of staying positive is to make an intentional effort to bolster staff morale. This is the reason we have a social committee, and when the first Thursday came around and all of us found ourselves working from home, the social committee still found a way to reach out and encourage. Here is what they sent to the staff on March 26:

Good afternoon, cooped-up colleagues,

This is a community service message from your social committee. Things you should NOT do during the coronavirus pandemic:
 
Do not decide to Feng Shui your living room (you could pull your back out.)
Do not kiss your Peapod driver because he found you some toilet paper.
Do not take up cooking now (your family will thank you later.)
Do not cut your own hair.
Do not chase your cat because you want cuddle time (you will REALLY regret it.)
Do not tell your almost eighty-year-old mother that you are going to start getting her groceries. (She looks confused, shocked, and then mad all in a span of five seconds. Then she says “Girl, have you completely lost your mind. You most certainly will not be doing that!”) True story.

We hope you have enjoyed this dose of levity and information courtesy of the social committee!! We want you all to know that we are here for you if you need us, just reach out.
