sailors fighting in the dance hall

Today was the quarterly Town Hall at work, which meant going into a team meeting with the entire department at the Mothership. My first time there. I got lost. And I never did figure out how the passcards work.

It's days like today that make me wonder if I really am from fucking Mars.

There are thousands of people working in that building. The floor I was on was crammed solid - people sitting in rows and rows of desk, chairs jammed shoulder to shoulder. I was the only one in a mask.

They served snacks and coffee over break, my boss wanders by. "Aren't you having any coffee?" Um. I'm wearing a silicon sheath over the entire lower half of my face, do i look like I'm going to have a coffee?

This is where I start wondering if I'm the one who's crazy. How can it just be me?

People are so weird. I still wear my (KF94) masks in shops, train stations, trains, taxis... anywhere there's lots of people or poor ventilation. But I know precisely one other person in my circle who does this too, and she's from Taiwan.

People just want to forget about it all and pretend everything is back to normal. Attention spans are short...
