All of my team is out this week, as is my manager. So it's just me in the office, 10 minutes away from my house. I resisted the idea for awhile, since I try to make it a point not to do work when en femme, and as I do have plenty of work to catch-up on. But once two female co-workers started chatting about a cute blouse, I couldn't stand it anymore. Maybe I could have resisted under normal circumstances, but I have a new dress that just arrived yesterday, with no other time coming up try it on.
So I headed home around 2:30pm, and am now fully dressed, doing work. I find it doesn't distract from my work, as I thought it might, and it even improves my mood. I wonder if people will detect a happier tone in my emails?
I felt a little bad about it at first, but no real harm done to anyone. And it does feed into my new resolution to love myself and prioritize my own needs too. OK, back to the email grind!
