I think we're targeting July now. Was June a few months ago. I just hope the expectation is still the same... 1x a week in the office. As much as I sorta miss it, I know I'll start bitching about it the moment i'm forced to go back full time :laugh:

Honestly I miss the commute. That was when I got a lot of reading done. Not sure if my house is quieter than the office or vice versa. I'm a big routine guy; once I get in a groove I don't like to change it up.

Man I am fucking miserable. Got some fucking saw dust in my eye on Saturday, scratched my cornea and lower eye. Of course that got infected, and I am just a hot mess. The light sensitivity is fucking excruciating.

The worst part about the whole fucking thing is, I ran a chainsaw for 3 to 4 hours, straight. Like almost 3 tanks of gas. Wore my safety glasses the entire time. When did I get shit in my eye? When we were done and eating pizza, a huge gust of wind came out of no where and blew shit from my shirt, and/or hat, right into my eye. I felt it scratch when I closed my sys lid, and ran inside to flush it out.

Never felt like it cleared, but I knew there was a scratch. SO SUnday I thought I would just tough it out and see what happens. Went to urgent care yesterday and there was multiple scratches and infection. Had to drive across town this morning and I was fucking dying! The light is so painful, I cant take it, and even trying to drive with one eye doesnt help. Might be the day I jump off the stratosphere.

I hafta drive, so F my commute. My workspace at home needs some sprucing up, but I'm avoiding unplugging everything and starting from scratch to make it happen. I think I like the separation of work/home because I'm pretty much one of those "always on" types since WFH. I need a break.

Yeah, lots of my co-workers have lost their balance. I get emails and texts all hours of the day and night. Naturally, I ignore most of the ones I get during off-hours, but still sometimes I have to respond. I was on until nearly 7PM last friday because I was trying to get travel arrangements worked out

I told my new co-worker that unless she specifies that something is urgent, i won't answer her emails/texts after hours (7p is my usual cut-off) but I found myself struggling to stick to that when she was texting after 9 last night. But I have to stand my ground for my own sanity :mad2: In normal times, i rarely opened my laptop once I got home but now that it's a permanent fixture in my house, it's harder to ignore.

This is why I'm glad that no one besides my boss has my cell phone number, and that my work laptop stays in my basement and I have my own laptop. I work a bit later than I used to when I was going into the office, but I'm "home" at around the same time, and I'm usually at my desk about an hour later than when I took the train in.

I've done this before... during a sex accident.... the night before Thanksgiving. I had to wear an eye patch for almost a week and the eye just constantly waters and hurts. I feel for ya, bruv.

Is that the new go-getter person you mentioned a few weeks back?

There is no balance.

That's what you get for making eye contact with him.
