I don’t know about you, but I’ve become too familiar with those muddy, complicated feelings associated with working during this pandemic. There’s preposterous juxtaposition at play. I’m super grateful to remain employed and be able to work safely, but also, I don’t want to do it. It seems uninteresting and insignificant. And when I buckle down and muster the motivation, doing the actual work feels dismal and dreary.
Those are not adjectives a Las Vegas entertainment writer should be using.
I felt like this once before, about three years ago, but it didn’t last long. Donny Osmond snapped me out of it.
