Uhm....

Well, it’s nearly 4:30 pm. In the last 9.5 hours, I did exactly ZERO work. There seems to be a problem with scanning in the originals. So there are no new files.

When I called in about it around 10 am, they told me to try again after lunch. But nothing.

First I thought it’s maybe only our department. Maybe there are simply no decisions people didn’t like. Maybe people aren’t paying attention to them, because of the circumstances. But it turns out no one got new files/in-post today. 

So, I stayed logged into the system and periodically checked. Just to make sure. 

I did my laundry.

I did the dishes. 

I called a colleague, whose decisions I normally review. She was rather happy about not having any post today, because as usual their whole department is backlogged. They are all trying to use this day to get back on track. I remember that feeling very well from last year, before I changed departments.

I think the only sensible thing to do right now is, get on my balcony, sit in the sun with a glass of wine. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

Be strong. Stay healthy. Stay at home.

Love
