I was told to go in to my office and retrieve my personal belongings. We are supposed to be moving our offices in Spring. Well, we were supposed to move 2 years ago, but whatever. It was weird going in and seeing my calendar was still set at April 2019. They have us so spaced apart I only saw one person, and that was the person I was supposed to check in with.
They closed my sisters office forever. She had to buy her desk and chair and use it at home.
Although I'd miss seeing my co-workers, I wouldn't mind this becoming permanent.
The reason we are relocating is because of some OPM rules requiring all agencies to downsize their work space. So instead of having my little private office, we'll all be in shared cubicles. Real good with a pandemic, right? Shove us all close together.
Only mandates we have right now are masks indoors. At restaurants you can remove it once seated. Most fast food places here still haven’t opened the dining room. A few restaurants have limited indoor seating. I’m getting my hair done Saturday. Thankfully my salon is pretty lax about masks.
Our governor said he isn’t closing and no mandates, just encouraging safe distance and masks, leaves it up to businesses to make that call. Two of our democratic ran cities are closed, majority moved close to where I live to work from their summer lake home and enrolled their kids in schools here, since they work from home and can live freely here.
