Went Into The Office and Working From Home Update

I had to stop in last week to grab a few things. 

Now that there are more regulations in place and a "plan" in place, we have to go through a certain protocol before we can enter the office.

I had to answer a series of questions.

Questions like: do you have a fever or have you had a fever in the last 24 hours? Have you come into contact with anyone who has been positive for Covid-19? Do you have cough, fever, pains, aches,  lost of smell, etc.? 

Once those have been answered, they are sent to HR. 

We need to wear masks when we enter the building (duh).

We need to do what we need to do in the office.

We need to then wipe down all surfaces that have been touched (door knobs, desks, pens, common areas, etc.)

It's not exactly a hassle, since we've all been doing things like this for months now, but just to pop into the office and literally be there for 10 minutes?  

I sanitized my entire area and walked out holding a disinfecting wipe to close the door.

It definitely doesn't seem convenient for everyone to have to do this if we are to go back into the office full time.

All the time.

Every time I leave my office to go get a drink? Go to the bathroom?

My company just sent a notice out to all employees stating now that our return to the office date is now tentatively Monday, September 7.

I appreciate that very much. 

We don't know what's going on with camps and school yet, so it makes sense for us to wait. I can't imagine going back in July and still be figuring out childcare.

As much as I feel like we've found our "flow" we have our days. 

Like yesterday. 

Which was rough.

SO. 

Having the flexibility to be home is nice.

But I have to figure something out.
