At first, when I started teleworking due to the COVID emergency, it started driving me up the wall, along with not seeing anybody due to the restrictions. But now, I like commuting from the bedroom or kitchen to the home office.
However, I moved to Florida thanks to the political situation in the DC area, but they want me back in the building in Silver Spring, Maryland, so I’m looking for another job. This one’s over at the end of July after I help train my replacement. I don’t think it’s logical to go back to the office in my line of work, since I’ve performed the job over a distance of at least 900 miles without a hitch, but that’s what they want, so I accept it.
We are in the DC area not far from Silver Spring.
One thing we really enjoyed about ‘lockdown’ was the almost complete lack of traffic for a long time.
Even before Covid, the drivers here had become very selfish, irresponsible and reckless. It was nice not having to deal with that, but it came with a downside - they got WORSE with Covid and the empty roads!
I don’t have to deal with it anymore, I decided to retire. But my poor husband still does. We are just hoping that things improve as they realize they’re back dealing with constant congestion.
But a lot of the drivers around here are terrible. Be glad you’re gone.
