I'm the only one with access to the company office because of COVID, but my boss won't let me work from there because he's afraid of liability. So I'm stuck in my tiny apartment all day instead of enjoying our nice work area a few blocks away.

Right, but if someone else comes in too, it does become a real liability. Idk. Maybe a better policy would be to have a limited capacity sign up sheet

That's a great idea. But I guess they'd prob still be liable if stuff wasn't sanitized or whatever. People could still get sick.

Everything has become so absurd. I'd ask if there is any way that you can help them mitigate concerns for liability. There is no reason that you can't work from there. I'm the only one in the office today. It's not a big deal.

We just have a “clean your own space” rule for now while we’re in limbo. It’s not much to ask and based on badges you know who left the place a mess.

I started dating this guy some months before covid struck.. he was literally crazy about me. He even stayed in Hyderabad for months just so that we could meet once before he went on to stay with his family. After that it had been a real roller coaster.

Sleeps or Vists his relatives or works on Sundays. Sometimes I feel he no longer loves me.
