This is a complete tangent, but I work at an office job, where we’re allowed to work remotely, but we meet up in the office typically once or twice a week. And I have this colleague, who decided a few weeks ago to do a work+travel thing, where she stayed in a city at the other side of the country and worked from there for a whole week.

Then we talked about when we should meet up in the office again in the week afterwards, and I suggested Tuesday, so she’d have Monday to kind of recover. As we talked, she mentioned that she would return on Sunday evening and that she had already separately made plans to come in on Monday to meet up with other colleagues, and then for separate organizational reasons, she ended up deciding to also come in on Tuesday.

Like, fuck me, here I am being mindful of her spoons, when she’s more like a bucket chain excavator.
