Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I just spent three hours at the actual office at work, and... wow, that's horrible. I already knew I was okay being a demi-hermit, but going back in there just solidified it. I truly do not ever want to go back any more than is absolutely necessary.

JZ, I'm feeling the same way. As much as I want the pandemic to be OVER, I'm dreading going back into the office. It's a nice office, my co-workers are great, I just... don't want to have to go there every g-d day and stay there 8-5. It feels like a cage in a zoo, people are watching me and I can't get away.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had a dream last night that one of you people had died and I'm very glad to get online and confirm it's not true! Phew. That was a very disturbing dream. Try not to do that, everyone, OK??

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

yikes Jesse.

I am headed into the office. I actually like going in, but I am not sure how I will feel when other people are there.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm alive! And Covid negative, as I expected. I go to my PCP this morning to get abused about my weight, cholesterol, and BP. Sigh. All of those were so vastly improved last summer, but now worse than ever. Double sigh.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Eep, Jesse! Pretty transparent as anxiety dreams go, I suppose, but do not like!

I am figuratively bouncing on my toes, ready to throw down with the first customer that looks at me sideways. Come at me, bros, I dare you. Although I will not actually tear into them, I just have a lot of anger and I'm directing it their way in my head for the moment.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So after weeks and weeks, Husband didn't get the job. Jesus fucking Christ.

Wow. I'm sorry, Dana. They really strung him along!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Official guidance for my company is everyone whose job can be done remotely is allowed to WFH through October if they want to.

That sounds pretty reasonable. I hope more places follow suit.
