Opposite Day
Oct. 26th, 2022 08:22 amToday, in the most terribly-named event ever, my office is resuming "safety day". This is an event where everyone from both locations gets together and go over the legally-mandated safety training, such as a lecture on the corrective action log and sign in/sign out principles, reviewing the contents of the heli kit, and a lecture on how to drive on radio-assisted roads.
Covid numbers are, of course, up, except that we don't test for covid anymore so they're down. Our emerg isn't shut down today, but it's had rolling shutdowns, and it takes about two months to get a doctor's appointment.
No one is wearing masks, and every person will be piled into the conference room for a friendly break time even if the main group is divided into two for the main training.
I haven't been super careful of covid for the last while; I don't really see people, except at work, and my workplace has been pretty empty between our inability to staff fully and work from home part time and the last bits of fieldwork season. I share a truck, unmasked, with my one coworker (who is married to a schoolteacher, so there's a significant path there) and chat with a couple folks face-to-face in the office unmasked.
Today I'm masking, though honestly it's probably more a symbolic gesture than functional given the long-exposure high-density situation.
I'm also 100% sure I'm going to go home and feel sick for the next 24 hours or so due to scent exposure either way.
