Some of us are making it back to the office after more than a year of working remotely, and that was my plan for this week. But there are still preparations going on for everyone’s return, and it’s just going to be much easier and quieter if I stick with remote working for a little while longer. Plus there’s the whole wearing-pants thing, soooo …

But when I do finally go back, I worry about how I’m going to deal with people again, without the option to eat whatever I feel like making instead of eating whatever I packed in my lunch even if I don’t want it, and without caring if I fart when I walk to the bathroom because there’s no one else here to hear me.
