Year 2- Day 111
Jul. 6th, 2021 07:16 pmTomorrow I head into the office for the first time since the brief visit in February. I got a bit confused because I found out from a colleague that their reasonable accommodation had been extended until further notice. But I'm guessing they responded to the email asking if they wanted it extended, while I chose not to.
I'm vaccinated, and if I can go out to eat with a friend, I can venture into my workplace. It's only for one day this week - since we're doing the hybrid schedule. If it was en mass - it would be another matter.
I think I did the right thing by not asking to extend it.
Also, I need to go back to the office - to get stuff done. This working from home thing is almost too comfortable. Also I'm going to end up back in the office eventually - all I'd be doing is putting off the inevitable.
Other people have done it - I can too. Just means a 5:45 am wake up call (I've been getting up at 6 am), and bringing my lunch to work, along with some work/office shoes, water bottle, and items I want to shred. We have a shredder at work.)

Outside of that, relatively uneventful day. Thunderstorm outside. It hit my brother hard - knocking out his electricity.
Covid
Per the NY Times Briefing:
"President Biden renewed his push to reach tens of millions of Americans who remain unvaccinated against the coronavirus.
The president called for employers to set up clinics at work and to offer paid time off for workers. By the end of the week, nearly half the population will be fully vaccinated. But with the worrisome Delta variant spreading, Biden said that would not be enough to fully prevent new outbreaks in areas with lower vaccination rates.
In England, the government will lift most remaining restrictions on July 19. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said mask-wearing would be voluntary on trains and in crowded indoor spaces, an idea critics dismissed as “absolutely ridiculous.”
There's more, but it depressed and stressed me out - so I decided to forgo it. The gist is the Delta is taking off because various idiots refuse to get vaccinated. And they are worried about an even worse variant popping up. In short if you haven't gotten vaccinated yet - please do so, you are hurting others with your cowardice.
An old friend from the time I visited London, sent me photos of myself when I was 20. What stuck out at me is the 1980s hair. LOL! Also how frigging thin I was. I looked great. Can I get in a Tardis and be 20 again in 1987?
I'd share but it's kind of impossible from the email. We were staying in South Kensington, London - which is ironic, considering, I live in Kensington, Brooklyn now.
