Pandemic life

In the beginning, I chose to stay at the office. I didn't really feel like I needed to leave. Hundreds of people were transitioning to work at home. Our office building closed to the public. Still, I stayed. I didn't feel like it was a foolish decision though. Especially since there were about to be so few people in the building. I washed my hands a lot. I used a lot of hand sanitizer. 

Then on March 20th, the Governor ordered everyone who can do their job at home, to go home. So I started working from home on the 23rd. I did go back into the office on the 27th though. I felt like I needed to touch things. I forgot how stressful office life currently is. See, I work for the state agency called the department of workforce development aka the unemployment office. Super stressful time for our agency! I was happy to go back home. I didn't realize how much anxiety I was feeling when I was in the office. So much panic and fear and chaos all around me. At home, it's nice and quiet. NO people around. It's great. I don't like people so this is a big plus for me! Although, my normal 55/60 minute commute was reduced to about 35/40 minutes. That was pretty cool. And I drove through several red lights on my way in on that Friday. It was awesome! By then, we were under a stay at home order. This is what our streets looked like that Friday;

And this is my 12 level parking garage. It's usually cram packed!

It was very odd.
