The second Wednesday of each month has been dubbed "Collaboration Day," and on that day those of us who telework come into the office in person.Just one day a month, probably to placate the Governor or something.

I didn’t realize you were home! I hadn’t heard if you’ve been let out of the hospital again yet

Well, anyone who has seen anything I've posted on social media in the last month knows that there's a very good reason why I can't make it into the office in person. Can't drive on a healing-but-still-infected foot.

Furikuchan: (Yep, they finally let me out yesterday. They finally pumped enough saline through my veins that I peed away the toxins inside me.)

(Technically I could make it in, but that would necessitate me taking the 93 bus to NTC, the High Speed Line into 69th Street, and the El all the way up to practically the end of the line. All to get there by 8:30. Thanks, hard pass.)

So when I told my boss that I can't make it, she said that "We cannot telework on Collaboration Day, so if you can't come in you have to take a day. Annual or Sick Time, your choice."

the fuck is that

some bullshit is what it is

So tomorrow, despite my being perfectly willing and able to sign onto our system and catch up on my work, I have been specifically disallowed from doing so. Because government bureaucracy.

Truth be told, my feelings on the matter are along the lines of "Well, if you insist..." shrug

I have similar BS and it is stupid and it stinks. But I'm glad you're healing, man!

feels like an ADA violation to me ಠ_ಠ

no (remote) collaboration on Collaboration Day is the same energy as you can't fight in the war room

On the plus side, day off to heel at home >.> Or are jokes of that nature me getting off on the wrong foot and I should toe the line?
