weird nightmare

m_d_hI woke around 6am, normal for a Monday morning (I don't use alarm clocks), but because it was still dark outside I accidentally fell back asleep long enough to have a nightmare.
I had to commute to the office, and I was running late, and it had been so long since I commuted that I was having difficulty finding my work pants, and a matching tie, and as I was running late I had T call my office to say I was running late, only T turned into my Mom, and there was a new office manager who told me I did not have permission to be late and I'd have to make up for it by coming in on Saturday night -- which made no sense -- and then I woke.
Commuting was definitely my daily nightmare, LOL. I don't miss it at all.
So far I've even managed to avoid Zoom, except for one "after-work" office social function. But upper management wants us to start using Zoom more regularly now that the VPN capacity has been upgraded. Yet, we only have one Zoom account for the entire division, so we have to sign up to use it, and Boss's secretary has to supply the password, etc.
I'm figuring we're not going back to the office until sometime next year, but the one blessing from Quarantine is that I don't have to commute.
Some people will probably be able to continue doing their jobs remotely indefinitely, and some businesses are looking to save money on office space. We'll see whether my own organization loosens up on the telecommuting, before the Quarantine I was told no more than one day per week of telework, and I had to have a specific reason like a doctor's appointment or an appliance delivery.
