#oneaday Day 569: Zonked Out

I'm kind of knackered and not really sure what to write about today, so I'll just ramble away and see if anything coherent comes out.

To be honest, I'm kind of champing at the bit to talk about the thing I teased yesterday, but as I say, I don't want to jinx anything. I'll be able to share a bit more about all that… soonish, though, likely in the next few weeks or so. The possibilities are making it extra hard to care about the day job right now, I won't lie — but I'm hanging in there for now.

I'm certainly in no great hurry to go back to the office. The day job sent around a huge document full of "guidelines" for those returning to work at the beginning of July (a cohort I am not among, thankfully — it's initially just specific volunteers) that include all manner of ridiculousness like one-way systems, special techniques for going through doors, limitations on going to the toilet and all manner of other stuff.

I mean, I say it's all ridiculous, but in the context of the whole pandemic thing it sort of makes sense… to a certain point, anyway. I kind of feel like if you need to put that many restrictions and unnatural, inconvenient routines in place to get people back in the office, then it's probably not quite time to get people back in the office just yet.

People have proven themselves perfectly capable of working from home over the course of the last… however long it's been now, so I don't see any particular reason why we need to rush people back. But no; it seems the company isn't even willing to entertain the possibility of having people working from home more permanently when (if?) this is all over. Seems a bit silly to me, but this is probably why I don't run a company.

Anyway. Not something I need to worry about too much right now — and it might not be something I need to worry about at all. We'll have to wait and see. I'm sorry for "vaguebooking", but as I say, I'm trying to be a bit cautious in my enthusiasm! Just keep your fingers crossed for me next Thursday, let's say.
