Worked in the office today. And ran some errands in the city afterwards, like it’s 2020.

Being in the office actually felt normal today. Working from home feels more normal, still, but I didn’t catch myself thinking “wow, I’m here” or “I’m actually going on the train” or “gosh, look at all this city around me”.

It’s taken me two and a half months – since late September – to get to this point. Just as I got here, though, covid-related restrictions and recommendations are being tightened again. By just a tiny bit, and they’re all still expressed in weaselly language like “if possible” and “where appropriate” and “to some extent” but I guess it’s meant to be a signal of what might be coming.
