April has been a gut punch. Most office workers are either working from home, furloughed, or looking for work. This month has shown us death and yet has brought us signs of the best of humanity.
Have you seen the stories about the 4 year old in Britain who ran miles in princess dresses to raise money for charity? Or the British veteran who walked laps in his walker because he’s 100?! The elderly farmer from Kansas who’s wife is ill but he still sent one of his five live saving masks to Gov. Cuomo?
I only went into the office five times this month – once a week. It felt like I was going in on a weekend since the office was 25% staffed with the rest at home. Since our office is mostly closed to the public we are allowed to be casual – ie jeans are okay, leggings not so much – but I figured I was casual everyday at home so I dressed for work like normal.
