Consecutive bicycle work commute number 991:
For the first time since early April I actually went inside the office this morning instead of just riding by it. I have an 11:00 meeting with a client that they wanted to do face-to-face. So I rode to the office for the morning, then I'm planning on riding back home over lunch and finishing the day at home. I don't yet have a permanent return to office date. At the moment I don't even have a desk because they hired some new people and are short of space, and seeing as I'm normally working from a client location I got to move my stuff into a box for a while. This morning I'm sitting in a storage room to work, with another co-worker in the same situation. While my at-home workspace isn't ideal, it is better than this storage room.
77F this morning with 98% humidity. I rode 16.5 miles and arrived at the office completely drenched. We're supposed to take our temperature before we enter, and seeing as I hadn't used this new-fangled thermometer it took me a minute to figure out how to use it. Meanwhile there's a line of people waiting and watching me drip sweat all over everything. That made me a bit self conscious.
