Four Years

covid-19 1 Minute

Today is March 13, 2024. It’s the fourth anniversary of the world turning upside down.

Four years ago today was a Friday. At 5:30pm, when the work day ended, my staff and I packed up our desks and brought everything home. We were told that for the next couple of weeks we, meaning everyone in the entire company, would be working from home. The goal being to ride out this Covid-19 thing. Social distance, shelter in place, keep everyone healthy so that we don’t overrun the hospitals.

Today is the fourth anniversary of the start of the Covid-19 lockdown. Well, it’s the start of things for me. My wife had already been working from home for two days by that point.

Four years later and Covid-19 is still a thing. So much so that I am going to take a rapid test today to see if my sore throat is a Covid symptom or not. We’re still working from home more than not. Three days home, two days in the office. Nothing is quite back to normal, though it’s reasonably close now. At least we can go out and do stuff now, even if there’s still a chance of getting sick.

We are adjusting, I guess. It’s never going to not be a thing, but at least we’re managing.

Happy fourth Covid-aversary, folks. Celebrate by wearing a mask or something. HoHoCoughCoughCoughHo.

  4. I remember the day that my workplace closed down for COVID four years ago. We thought we’d be back by April 1…then April 30…then August. But, we didn’t fully reopen to the public until Sept. 2021! Those were sad and anxious days. I am so glad that we are almost back to normal. I hope that you don’t have COVID and that you feel better soon.

  5. Today is my mom’s birthday. Four years ago, my sisters and mom and I were gathered for a birthday brunch. It was the last day before some serious shit hit the fan, and our family was fractured for quite awhile. We have finally found our way back to a peaceful co-existence but that was a really hard year.
