Back to Office

Hello Desk Hello Chair 

Today January 10, 2022 is my first day back in office in exactly one month. December 10, 2021My last day at my Desk for 2021. I still have unwrapped abandoned Christmas presents that were not brought home under my desk. On December 10, I left rushing as usual to a Girl Scout meeting, thinking whatever left undone there is always next week. My only plans to be out my regular and of year vacation for Christmas, Birthday, New Year. Then by that weekend, my home that avoided all the hoopla of this pandemic so far was now a part of it. 

School exposures, activity decisions, quarantines, testing, isolations, cancellations, vacations and confirmation of the ridiculous bureaucracy were the order of the day. I missed parties and cancelled my own birthday party, but everything happens for a reason. Gifts left, were rethought, and what was actually essential became clearer. There will always be next time to make it up ... hopefully.

As the new year started still in quarantine, I had time to reflect and reset and for once rest. Even today, having a morning Doctor's appointment, I missed the rush hour traffic and strolled in unbothered and excused at 1 pm. I had the chance to reflect on my current read "Your 21 Day Reset" by Dr. Té Bassett, and really muse as to what "Radical Acceptance" means to me as relates to work, career and my plans for the new year.

What does your 2022 Work Year start look like?
