I slept mostly decent last night. I woke up at 5a and moved the alarm up to 7a, I made a split decision to just work from home. Well, at 6:30a I heard a meow in my dream as if to say wake up. I sprang to life and worked on making my way to the office. Yeah, I was late but I made it before my shift technically started at 8:30a. I heard the phone chirping the whole way into the office not much you can do when you’re driving and once, I got settled I didn’t want to look at the phone or my email for that matter.
I only came in because it felt like the right thing to do, like I would miss something if I stayed at home. Well, my desk had a few items on it. A holiday card from my boss (which is why he asked me last week if I was working from home). Just a hollow worded message about how much I am appreciated and 2nd year in a row with no gift. Normally before the pandemic he gave us all a little something. I had a duplicate order of my calendars one wrapped and one not wrapped. That was it for items on my desk. Whoopee, now can I go home?
It's cold here in my office and still cold outside but warmer than it has been in days. The commute wasn’t horrible but we had a few slow pokes. You could tell it was the holidays because there weren’t many people out in general. I will be for sure working the rest of the week at home. I can be bored in my own home just as easily as I can here at the office.
I’ve walked around and visited with a few people that are here. A good portion of the regulars that I interact with are not here but that’s okay. We all can use sometime away.
I do have a couple things that I could do but honestly my heart just isn’t in working at all today. I wish that I was on vacation. I do plan on leaving early to beat what little rush hour traffic there will be. I’d like to get home before it gets dark out.
Leftover pizza for supper or I could have a holiday ham dinner that I picked up at the store. Not sure which one I want. Sandwich for lunch so that my sugar doesn’t crash. I might just get inspired to work but I honestly don’t think so.
The one question I got asked was are you going to come in more now that you’re by yourself. I said that is a possibility. I’ve actually always said that if I didn’t have a cat that I would be in much more often but now that the rubber meets the road, I still really don’t see the benefit of it, other than being around others. However, for the most part I am in my office all day so it’s really not much different than working from home.
That’s really all I know at the moment, which isn’t a whole lot. Back to the fun as I call it, but really, it’s no fun. Hope that your staying warm and doing well. I am looking forward to a long weekend even if I do have to work part of it. Take care.
