It has been A Day (237/365)
I am on holiday after tomorrow until 13 September.
The university announced today that we would be removing most COVID restrictions from 6 September, including planning for all teaching to be in-person and staff to return to working on-site rather than from home. (I had been aware that this was coming, and got an advance view of the guidance yesterday afternoon.) This meant that most of today was spent in meetings about how we go about implementing this, writing emails explaining how we've agreed to implement this, and updating risk assessments and building guidance.
I had also arranged a team meeting to talk about the proposals for increased flexible working, post-pandemic, which ended up taking place half an hour after the all-staff email about the changes went out. This turned out not to be entirely a bad thing, but it made a slightly nerve-wracking meeting rather more nerve-wracking.
It has definitely been A Day.
(As for how I feel about the changed guidance? Resigned to the fact that it had to happen, attracted by the possibility of not being in pandemic mode any more, but also really quite worried about how it's actually going to pan out.)
