So I’m retiring a part of 1K today that has been around since June/July of 2019. That’s not a decision I take lightly, even if the item in question was out of date by over two months at this point, but I have decided to retire my drywipe calendar’s job of tracking daily wordcounts. It’s funny; in one of my single-digits diary entries, I said I wouldn’t track how many words I wrote each day. In hindsight that was a little too laissez-faire in economy of data, and having a record has its uses. It’s just that half a year after I started doing that, I began my BuJo, so I haven’t really needed it for a long while. That’s one reason I let it slip. The main reason is of course house move #4 of the pandemic, and me needing to streamline so I don’t go under.
In more uplifting news, I yet again got a pre-5pm target, got even more tasks completed at work, and I feel, not great, but it’s Thursday so ‘not great’ is ‘incredible’ through that lens. And I owe that to going into the office. So…
As far as I am concerned, with this data in hand, I cannot work from home. I can ‘do work’, but I can’t function like that. So while yes, working from home where possible is the government guidance from Monday, I do not consider myself to have a job I can do from home. And can I just say, writing that in a public place – even if no one reads this – is liberating. I cannot work from home. I can do work, but for my mental, physical, and heck it spiritual health, I can’t do that anymore. So I won’t. End of.
Now if only I’d declared that a year ago…
