Back in March 2020, I created this fictitious magazine cover for a hypothetical publication called "Covid Monthly" and shared it with my friends as a joke. At the time, I included the issue month of September. It seemed impossible in March 2020 that the pandemic could last until September of 2020, and it was meant to be humorous that it could go on for that long. As we know now, it got much worse in September 2020, and here we are now in September 2021, still trying to fight that hideous monster.

Today I went to my office for the first time in nine ten months. It was so strange.... I even forgot what floor I was supposed to go to in the elevator! When I was there, I realize that I don't miss that place at ALL!!! Looking at the cubicles, the furniture, the lighting, the carpets, everything... I just realize that being cooped up in that place for hours on end was like a cage or a prison and it created so much misery in my life. I praised God for this opportunity to work from home where I feel so much more human and comfortable. I realized that the office is a space of alienation where I am alienated from the rest of my life and the person I truly am. It was not a good environment for me and I praise the Lord that he found a way for me to continue working, yet not in that building.
