Lonely Plant

I had to go and work at the office tonight. Not that thrilled about it at all. I had intended to go to morning Krav Maga class but I had a headache from the allergies that have been attacking my system the past week. So many tissues used. Stuffed up and sore throat and then headache. I wanted to go to class to celebrate Miss Jen our Saturday morning instructor. I also wanted to get another class in this week. Unfortunately sleep won out. Not that I slept that great but at least it wasn’t as hot as it was on Thursday and I did get some halfway decent sleep.

While in the office in my private corner, the place I go to be away from everyone else so that I am not bothered by the noise, I saw this poor little plant. It like our C-Level management is clinging to the office and being in the office. Something that is very outdated and make very little sense for the people in my group and the rest of overnights. I think things are much more productive working from home and safer too. Less chance of falling asleep at the wheel when you don’t have to drive anywhere. Going the office when what you do is 100% remote makes no sense. It only makes sense to the out of touch management. It is also fitting that the little fox is missing an ear because no one is listening to the needs of the employees.

Water Views at Work

Every couple of weeks I need to head to the office to work there instead of being home. I wasn’t a fan of this at first, but I’ve only had to go in twice in June so that has been nice. Now with the weather outside being nicer I look forward to the view I get from the windows of the office building. I don’t get a chance to go for a walk but at least I can enjoy the view.

Had my annual review tonight. First one in a very long time that has me excited for work. I have been enjoying the new position and who knows, I may even get a raise this year. We’ll see.
