(24,355 posts)and back in the office full time after Independence Day and I'm already dreading it, not so much being back in the office but it just feels like a waste of time to drive 30-40 minutes one way through increasingly congested traffic (there is a local interstate that will be out of commission for EIGHTEEN MONTHS yay infrastructure!) for a job where I'm not really even there all day most days as I work for Child Services and split most of my time between paperwork in the office, going to client homes, and going to court. We have been working remotely for over a year now and been managing things pretty well, with court being held remotely and being able to manage paperwork and other duties fine remotely. I neither feel particularly motivated to return to the home, nor do I think that the job has ever really needed to have our butts sitting in an office most of the time when we're not doing other stuff. Yet, for now I suppose our Republican Governor (Holcomb-Indiana) wants to make sure that everything appears "normal" which is probably just as well for him as our Republican Supermajority Overlords stripped him of emergency health measures (heaven forfend we have to deal with a worst public health emergency in the future).
Anyway, I digress..........
