Now what...?
Jul. 17th, 2021 08:43 amA colleague has tested positive, so the office was closed yesterday afternoon and will be on Monday to allow Estates to do a deep clean. At the same time, we're still getting the 'everybody back!' messages from senior management. I am not happy.
I'm not worried about getting sick as such, although obviously I don't WANT to, I'm worried about being another case and, therefore, another reason why this isn't over, yet. I don't know if there's a way of conveying that to management that doesn't come across as whiney and/or irrational.
To be fair, I don't know that anyone has picked it up at work - just that people at work have got it. And going into the office once a week will mean I can do my bits of shopping on the way home and can stay indoors on Saturdays. Although early Saturday morning is likely to be quieter than late Tuesday afternoon...
Anyway, further information is promised on Monday.
There's a big black and white cat that likes to sun itself in our garden. Given that we're now encouraging birds into the garden, we always chase it off. It goes, but as slowly and sulkily as it can. Yesterday, it even hissed at me. I've decided to call it 'Kevin' after Harry Enfield's sulky teenager - if you don't know Kevin, look him up on YouTube :D
The birds are the main reason we're not getting a new cat of our own. I do miss having a furry friend but there are lots of cat videos to take the edge off.
No need to go out over the weekend, unless we decide on a walk, but there's still cleaning! Oh, yay...
