What I missed

Categories
Lifestyle

My office has been back up and running for over a week now. It's feels somewhat normal because we are all there...of course with appropriate physical distancing, masks, wipes, sanitizer and a cool looking sign on our front door stating you must wear a mask when entering.

 

I missed the interaction, impromptu meetings between staff to discuss marketing issues The colloboration is priceless. Although, it is wierd to to have a company meeting on Zoom while we are all in the office.

 

The "normalcy" even extended beyond the office when I drove home. I encountered rush hour traffic...yes, the stress inducing reason why we are prescribed blood pressure pills.  This I did did not miss.

Never will miss the commute/traffic. Worst part of living in the NY area I feel. Our company is in no rush to get us back into the office and I agree as there is little reason for it. We do so much on WebEx and now TEAMS. But I do miss the group we work with and interactions, face to face.

Social people love workspace camaraderie! But, keep your distance.

commuting remains an opportunity to either enjoy sportstalk radio (less so these days) or some great music -- often played loud! Probably what I miss most about lack of midweek destinations.

My commuting in NYC was to meetings and events and I miss the opportunity enjoy walking around the City. I miss being "with" and not just "looking at" my friends and colleagues on Zoom. I do believe that if we stay the course and put up with these inconveniences, we will get back to much of how things were in terms of human interaction. I don't miss rush hour from my MI or FL days.

I have been loving Zoom meetings. When we are done, there is no commute and it saves time. I can also access anything I may have forgotten for the meeting. I am also back at my office and super efficient but it is a little weird.
Just hope everyone stays safe! Let's make it so!!

I'm back in my office. I definitely missed the interaction.
