Not going

 


The surveys are showing a high percentage of people aren’t willing to go back to the office. I don’t believe the surveys so I listen to podcasts and eat fortune cookies. My monthly review of podcasts will survive another month. The podcasts I’m enjoying are primarily fiction. I need to escape.
