I’ve been going to work (literally, to the office) almost every day this week. Last time I went to the office was at the beginning of April, to attend the entrance ceremony. Afterwards, I’ve been spending every single day at home. But my boss was quite worried that I would develop some kind of depression from being locked in for too long and unable to grasp what it’s like to actually ‘work’. So he decided that I should go to the office at least several times. I hate the morning rush, but I feel a bit more alive from being able to actually go somewhere and meet people.
But then Japan decided to place Tokyo under another emergency state just right before Olympic. I’m guessing they’re doing this in order to reduce the flow of people so that they don’t need to cancel the event. But that just sparked more rage and more people are protesting against the government’s decision to hold the Olympic. And because the whole prefecture is placed under restriction, my company forbids anyone without permission to go to the office. So, I guess I’m going back to working from home from next week.
It’s been raining daily for the past few weeks and Shizuoka prefecture was hit pretty hard with a landslide and killed multiple. Earlier today, several prefectures on Kyushu island was also under heavy rain that alert levels were set at the highest point. Citizens were told to evacuate since they feared the possibility for landslides. And tonight, tornado warning was issued to everyone living in the Tokyo prefecture. I hope nothing bad actually happens…
