I never mention my work on my blog. They are different and separate parts of life. They should remain separate. Work should not interfere with the personal. The personal should not interfere with work.
I did not break that rule. My employer did. So I share this with you.
Today I told my supervisor I have not gotten the vaccine and that I will not get the vaccine.
The discussion should never have happened. My employer shouldn’t have been involved in that part of my life. It isn’t their business. Personal medical decisions are between me and God.
Regardless, I did not submit.
The wheels of bureaucracy turn slow but they do turn. Today nothing happened. Tomorrow may be different. I’ve no idea if I’ll have a job by Christmas.
I’m at peace. I acted according to my morals. What better thing can a man do?
You may be in the same situation. If you’re like me, it feels like the media, every bureaucracy, and the whole world is arrayed against you. Maybe they are.
Yet there’s hope. You are not alone. You know what’s right for you.
I walked the path. You’re walking it too… or not. Millions of us are either walking our path or not walking it. Such is life.
Even if you feel all alone, you will know what you did and how it feels. If you made the right decision for yourself you will know. If you failed yourself you will know. In your heart you will always know what you did when a choice was necessary.
Take heart. There are worse fates. We may all be fine. A job is just a job.
I hope everyone does the best they can. Good luck.
