I was able to hang on to my job for a week, but ultimately got furloughed due to lack of demand.īoth of us are single, with Mike breaking up with his girlfriend shortly after the New Year. On the very first day of the mandatory shutdown, Mike’s gym closed. He's a gym trainer and sports freak How It First Happened We’ve always gotten along well but, I can’t say we were ever close. For his part, Mike worked as a personal trainer and fitness coach. Prior to going into lockdown in March, I was employed as a sales manager in the transportation sector.
We live in the Midwest and share an apartment together in a large metropolitan city. My roommate – Mike – is 24 and identifies as straight.
