A city worker who does something in town with a computer in exchange for money has said he’s obviously suffering from long COVID as he battles his way through wave after wave of lethargy and general malaise.
That is despite Roland Jones, who is entirely disposable to his employer, having seven pints of Guinness last night at the Old City institution, Searson’s.
At nearly 30, Roland says his job is so menial and pointless that any garden variety orangutan with a mediocre work ethic could replace him.
Something he says is working in his favourite today.
“Oh man,” he said.
“I had the virus three weeks ago and it’s still lingering. I can barely concentrate on anything today. I did have seven pints last night but that’s par for the course these days,”
“Tell you what, you don’t want this COVID. If you’re going out trying to catch it, don’t. It sucks man. I can’t even think straight. Everything is a chore. Fuck, all I want is a blue Powerade and six McDoubles. That’ll fix me.”
More to come.
