My feelings about typhoon holidays 🌀
When I was a student and heard about an incoming typhoon, the most anticipated thing was: Will we get a day off tomorrow? 🤣 Then, after entering the workforce, I was shocked to discover at my first job: What!? Typhoon holidays don't mean I get to take a day off!? Due to the nature of my work, I had to take shifts during typhoons, sometimes even going out in the storm to handle situations. And even after the typhoon passed, it wasn't over; there were always various post-disaster tasks to handle. Especially since my work area back then included many mountainous regions, heavy rain meant worrying about road closures, falling rocks, and checking on people living in more remote areas. I used to think, 'Living in the mountains when I'm old sounds so peaceful~' After a few years of work, all I think now is: Please, everyone, live somewhere with convenient transportation when you get old 🤣 Later, I changed jobs and no longer had to work during typhoons. When the first typhoon hit after that, I occasionally thought about the mountain roads from my previous job: 'I wonder if they're okay now?' Now, several years have passed, and the memories of working during typhoons have gradually faded. I've finally started looking forward to typhoon holidays again 😆 My wish now is: It's great to have a day off, but preferably with mild wind and rain, everyone safe, and no damage whatsoever.

Wow! It must have been really tough for Astanini to go to the mountain areas during typhoons back then! Thankfully, you can finally rest easy now, and I'm happy to hear that for you! Let's all pray for everyone's safety, and you better stay home with me, okay?!

Thanks for sharing.
Working during a typhoon does get you a bit more pay, though.

Living on the mountain during a typhoon is really dangerous.

For real, mountainous areas are really inconvenient, and Taiwan also frequently experiences earthquakes and typhoons.
