Interesting times
Today at work we got the email expanding the company's vaccine mandate to all employees (the first phase had excluded retail and warehouse workers.) They'd strongly hinted that this would happen when they notified us of of the first phase, so it was not really a surprise. Despite all the screaming and posturing on the company intranet when phase one was rolled out, we apparently had a 99% compliance rate. I'm not sure if that includes people who applied for a medical or religious exemption, but those people with exemptions will have to wear PPE and get tested at least once a week, at their own expense if the company has anything to say about it.
This makes me feel somewhat better about having to go back to the office in January. Not super better, because the new office is going to be very noisy in comparison to the old one (instead of being in a room of our own, my team now has to share space with the team making calls) and the new cubicles have basically no walls and feel hideously exposed. At least it's only every other week, and my commute is relatively short.
We got the shed doors put together today, and will try to hang them tomorrow. Saturday we're going to look at another dog, presuming it isn't adopted by someone else first. The last couple of dogs I've been interested in have been snapped up very quickly, because of course everyone wants the easy, friendly dogs. And it's not really practical for us to go look on a weekday, as most of the rescues I've been checking are located on the outskirts of town and we're in the middle.
