IF WE CAN NO LONGER DO WORK AT HOME, I'M DOING HOME AT WORK.
GOOD NEWS... I NO LONGER HAVE TO DO WORK ANYWHERE.

Dear Employer,
I am writing regarding your announcement that we all have to stop working from home and return to the office.
Perhaps you think the office is better because I won't get my work done if I remain at home.
Wrong.
I don't get my work done anywhere.
I WONDER IF THAT'S YOUR BEST ARGUMENT.
P.S. DON'T MAKE ME COME IN THERE AND SHOW YOU!

HEY, NEIGH-BOR BOB. DID YOU GET THE VACCINE YET?
