Well, it's been a little over a month since my last post.  Being that we're in a pandemic, not much has changed. 

Right after I put up that last post, I decided to go a step further and not drink on the weekends as well as during the week and it's worked out pretty well.  To be honest, it's been too f-ing hot to drink.  I'm afraid that I'll get a hangover before I'm even done with a cocktail.  I did have one "video" drink to toast a friends' birthday, but that's it. 

I noticed I was getting really down, so I finally begged my boss to let me go into the office on the down low one day last week and one day this week.  It really helped my mood a lot.  They were the best two days I've had in months.  There were only two other people in the office, but it was nice to see them and take advantage of having a landline phone and use a computer directly, instead of remote-ing into it.  The air conditioning was pretty sweet too.  I work WAY more when I'm at home than I do in the office.  It was nice to fuck around a little and not be at my desk from 5am to 3pm, afraid that I'll miss a client emergency. 

On a positive note,  I was told this afternoon that they may start to let up to 50% of the office capacity come back (before it was 20% and it was a set list of people, now it's only 3 people able to go in) and I asked my boss if I could be one of the group allowed in and he said yes.  This time they're going to make it so that no more than 50% can be there at one time, so I could choose to go in a couple days a week and work from home the other days.  The days I would work from home would open up space for someone else to go in.  That would be ideal.  I just hope that people don't ruin it for us by going out and behaving stupid over the holiday weekend and cause a spike in the Covid cases here and they send us to exclusively work from home again.

Now I'm getting depressed again....

That's enough for now.  I'll try to come up with something positive to post next time.

Be safe, be kind, be patient and wear a mask!  Please!
