Lockdown Reflections: Gig Work, Family Ties, and Mental Health
I have been not severely humbled, but, uh, quickly and sufficiently humbled by the statistics that are coming up now.
What happens when two friends dust off an old recording from the early days of lockdown? In this episode of 'The Quality Varies', Jordan Homer and Bryan Lee take you on a journey through their experiences as the pandemic began to reshape life in Washington state. Jordan and Bryan open up about their initial reactions to the lockdown, with Jordan admitting he didn't take it seriously at first, only to be humbled by the unfolding statistics.
They dive into the world of gig work, with Bryan sharing his adventures as a food delivery driver and Jordan reflecting on his own gig economy jobs. But it’s not all about work; they also explore how the lockdown has impacted their personal lives. Jordan talks about reconnecting with his family after years of feeling distant, while Bryan gets candid about his dating struggles. Throughout their chat, the duo keeps things light with their signature humor and laid-back style.
If you’re curious about how others navigated the early days of the pandemic or just want to hear some heartfelt stories mixed with laughs, this episode is for you.
