Well, up until recently that's just how it was. Especially as a newspaper reporter, if there was a big snowstorm they wanted people to come into work anyway to cover it.
But now I'm used to not having to worry about it. For the past three winters I haven't had to drive in snow or shovel snow. And since I now park in a heated underground garage, I don't have to get into a cold car as often.
I'm sure if there's a big storm they'll be fairly flexible about letting people stay home, though. They never were before, but now we all see that reporters can do most things from home. And editors can do all things. Photographers, unfortunately, have to venture out.

All summer long I would occasionally see a single squirrel munching on seeds underneath the bird feeder. This afternoon there were three at one time. I wonder if this could be a sign of the impending change of seasons?

If you refuse to observe the Labor Day weekend as the end of summer, does that mean that summer never ends? At least until September 21?

I'm sure this doesn't signify anything, but after I wrote this I saw four blue jays in the backyard at the same time. I'd never seen that before.

I think offices are having a difficult time getting people to come into the office to work now, especially since everyone found out just how much of their jobs can be done at home.
My company has asked people to come in twice a week. Some are upset by this, the way I look at it, before Covid we were going in 5 days without complaint, I can give them two days.
I go in every Monday and Tuesday.
