Yumiko went into the office yesterday and came home like a battered soldier returning from the front. The Los Angeles commute was a killer. Plus the mortar fire of in-person interaction with co-workers and spending time in the now unfamiliar foreign field of the office feels more like a campaign of Charlemagne rather than a simple day at work. Plus, the sense of being so darn UNPRODUCTIVE because of the time and effort of going to the office. We now work so much better at home. Yumiko wound up working unpaid overtime at her desk at home just to make up for her lack of productivity being at work. Such irony. Who knew this strange world would come. Soon though, memories of routine work at the office may become like stories of hard times gone by: like grimy coal miners descending cramped elevators into the dark earth, or sailors swinging dangerously high above the sea tending rigging and reefing sails. Did people really do that once? And did people once really go into work? Strange, old ways. Hard, troubled days of the past.
