Masking up

[ndrosen]

This week, due to an increased threat from COVID-19, wearing masks is required in the Patent Office’s Alexandria office, except when someone is alone in a room with the door closed. I came in to work on Wednesday and Thursday, and will do so again Friday. There didn’t seem to be many people present, although part-time teleworkers like me are still required to come in five days per biweek (with some complications).

I did mostly wear a mask, except when going to the men’s room to brush my teeth; the place was close enough to vacant that doing so didn’t get me close to anyone else.

I’ve had a major nap, and will shower and go to bed soon.
