So I just logged off work. ugh.
basically my slacking caught up with my brain weasels and I decided I needed to get on top of things else I was headed to an anxiety attack. Now at least I do not feel like I am drowning in flagged emails.
non-work frustrating, I found out today that a mask I sent to NYC never arrived. Did I address it wrong? Was it just taken? Who knows, because I also did not send it click and ship and therefore have no tracking on it. GRR to me.
So now I am going to sew. I have 7 on my owed to people list (6 before the lost one) and I really should have gotten those done last week, so I am guilt sewing.
Back in the office 5/28. We are alternating weeks WFH/office, wearing masks, not allowed in the breakroom (reserved for warehouse workers), and screened with temperature checks before we're allowed in the building. I don't really understand why it's important for us to physically be in the office, it's all very weird.
Also, after being back at work for about an hour after two days of furlough I find myself wishing I could just quit. But that's just, you know, work.
Also: can't use the coffeemakers. The only advantages to working in the office compared to working at home for me are (1) more reliable connectivity through wifi than citrix and (b) free coffee/tea/filtered water
That would be an issue. No coffee no workee.
We are not allowed to use any appliance sin the break room and they removed the coffee makers, microwave and toaster oven and all the paper plates and plastic utnsels. You can sit 1 to a table but there are only 3 tables set up and all the vending machines are blocked off and the fridges.
Although I did see someone putting their lunch bag in the fridge but I didn't say anything because they may have had permission. But the person didn't clean off the door handle of the fridge after opening it.
Corporate employees have been offered the option to WFH through October (and new expense guidelines were released this week that lets people order chairs, desks, etc in addition to stuff that was approved before like headsets and monitors). FC employees have been offered basically a giant middle finger.
I started bringing a thermos with coffee to work to avoid the kitchenette as much as possible - I only use it to microwave my lunch and fill my water bottle. This way I learned that I prefer to drink less than a mug of coffee at a time (about 1/3 of a mug every now and then and not a mug every X hours), and that it's nice not to have to get up from the chair and break my concentration to get coffee.
Your hat is safe.
Of course it is.
That would be an issue. No coffee no workee.
I haven't even stepped foot in the employee lounge since I came back to work. I have a small kettle wherein I can make coffee. Or I substitute canned royal milk tea.
I feel I should mention I just got my first request for "the first Star Wars Movie." Which forced me to ask the question, the FIRST Star Wars Movie or the first Star Wars movie. Seriously--how do people NOT at least KNOW the difference.
Nerd muscles firmly flexed, back to work.
