What's one obstacle you've faced in the past week? How did you handle it?

To be brutally honest, I didn't face it. I volunteer at a local recovery community center, for people recovering from addictions of various sorts. And that puts me in (partial) charge of people who don't properly wear their masks, don't like all these new rules, and will gladly express their opinions loudly, as though they can just intimidate me in that way to let them get away with their shit. And I never do, but it's fucking tiring to remind patrons multiple times to just keep their mask on, or remind the professional staff and other volunteers to do the same. So I gave up last week. I told them I was not returning to volunteer until I could control my anger. And I still do not have great control, but instead I have limited my hours, so I work at it. But I am not baking down and letting people bully me into not taking this shit seriously anymore.
