Ndidayamba ntchito yanga yoyang'anira azaumoyo pamsasa ndisanayang'aniridwe, zomwe ndimadana nazo kwambiri. Monga manejala wazantchito, ntchito yanga inali yowunika zosowa za odwala ndikugwiritsa ntchito zothandizira malowa kuwathandiza momwe angathere. Komabe, ntchitoyi nthawi zambiri imakhudza kuuza anthu olumala ndi zofunikira zina zamankhwala kuti sangapeze chisamaliro ndi ntchito zomwe amafuna kapena amafunikira. Zinali zotopetsa mtima kukhumudwitsa anthu tsiku ndi tsiku-makamaka chifukwa choti ndimatha kuwamvetsetsa bwino kuposa ena onse azaumoyo.

Chifukwa chake, ndidayamba kufunsira mwamphamvu ntchito zaunamwino kuzipatala kuzungulira dzikolo komwe ndimatha kuchita zambiri posamalira anthu. Pa chaka, Ndinachita 76 zoyankhulana ndi namwino oyang'anira-zonse zomwe zinatha kukanidwa. Ndinatsala pang'ono kutaya chiyembekezo mpaka coronavirus (COVID-19) itagunda.

Atakhudzidwa ndikukula kwakanthawi kwamilandu ya COVID-19, zipatala ku New York zidayitanitsa anamwino. Ndinayankha kuti ndiwone ngati pali njira iliyonse yomwe ndingathandizire, ndipo ndinayitanidwanso kuchokera m'modzi pasanathe maola ochepa. Atandifunsa mafunso oyamba, adandilemba ntchito ngati namwino wampikisano ndipo adandifunsa kuti ndibwere ndikatenge zikalata zanga tsiku lotsatira. Ndimamva ngati ndapanga.

Tsiku lotsatira, ndinapita kukaphunzira ndisanatumizidwe kugawo lomwe ndimagwira ntchito usiku wonse. Zinthu zinali kuyenda bwino mpaka pomwe ndidafika poyambira koyamba. M'masekondi ochepa nditadziwikitsa, namwino woyang'anira gululo adandikokera pambali ndikundiuza kuti sakuganiza kuti ndingathe kuthana ndi zomwe ziyenera kuchitidwa.

Kugwira Ntchito Patsogolo

Mkati mwa mlungu wanga woyamba kugwira ntchito mu April, ndinapatsidwa ntchito ya namwino wantchito m’chipinda chaukhondo.

Pamene vuto la coronavirus lidakulirakulira, anthu ambiri omwe anali ndi chidziwitso cha mpweya wabwino amafunikira. Chifukwa chake, adandiyandamitsa ku gawo la COVID-19 pomwe ntchito yanga yokhayo inali kuyang'anira thanzi la odwala komanso zofunikira.

Anthu ena adachira. Ambiri sanatero. Kulimbana ndi kuchuluka kwa anthu omwe amwalira chinali chinthu chimodzi, koma kuwonera anthu akumwalira okha, popanda okondedwa awo, anali chilombo china chonse. Monga namwino, ndimamva ngati udindowo udandigwera. Anamwino anzanga ndi ine tinayenera kukhala osamalira okha odwala athu ndikuwapatsa chilimbikitso chomwe amafunikira. Izi zikutanthauza kuti a FaceTiming achibale awo akakhala ofooka kwambiri kuti azichita okha kapena kuwalimbikitsa kuti azikhala ndi chiyembekezo pomwe zotsatira zake zimawoneka zowopsa, ndipo nthawi zina, kugwira dzanja lawo popuma komaliza.

Milandu itayamba kuchepa ku New York, woyang'anira namwino, yemwe nthawi ina ankandikayikira, anandiuza kuti ndiyenera kuganiza zolowa m'gululi nthawi zonse. Ngakhale sindingakonde china chilichonse, izi zitha kukhala zosavuta kunenedwa kuposa momwe ndasankhidwira-ndipo ndikapitilirabe-pantchito yanga yonse.

Zomwe Ndikuyembekeza Kuwona Kupita Patsogolo

Tsopano popeza zipatala ku New York zili ndi vuto la coronavirus, ambiri akusiya ntchito zawo zonse. Kontrakiti yanga imatha mu Julayi, ndipo ngakhale ndidafunsa zantchito yanthawi zonse, ndakhala ndikuthamangitsidwa.

Ngakhale zili zachisoni kuti zidanditengera mavuto azaumoyo padziko lonse kuti ndipeze mwayi uwu, zidatsimikizira kuti ndili ndi zomwe zimafunikira kuti ndigwire ntchito yovuta. Makampani azachipatala mwina sangakhale okonzeka kuvomereza.

Ndili kutali ndi munthu yekhayo amene anakumanapo ndi tsankho la mtundu umenewu m’ntchito zachipatala. Kuyambira pomwe ndidayamba kugawana zomwe ndakumana nazo pa Instagram, ndamva nkhani zosawerengeka za anamwino olumala omwe amapita kusukulu koma sanapeze mwayi wopezera ntchito. Ambiri auzidwa kuti apeze ntchito ina. Sizikudziwika kuti ndi anamwino angati ogwira ntchito olumala, koma chiyani ndi n’zoonekeratu kuti pakufunika kusintha maganizo ndi chithandizo cha anamwino olumala.

Kusankhaku kumabweretsa chiwonongeko chachikulu kumakampani azachipatala. Sizokhudza kuyimira chabe; ndi za chisamaliro cha odwala. Chisamaliro chaumoyo chiyenera kukhala choposa kuchiza matendawa. Iyeneranso kukhala yopatsa odwala moyo wapamwamba kwambiri.

Ndikumvetsetsa kuti kusintha machitidwe azachipatala kuti avomereze ndi ntchito yayikulu. Koma tiyenera kuyamba kukambirana nkhani zimenezi. Tiyenera kukambirana za iwo mpaka titakhala abulu kumaso.
