So glad I subscribed! Thank you for this discussion post on current 2022 working conditions. Been thinking a lot about the different ways I have been handling working in person during the pandemic. For me, it is has been looking like spending a lot of time in isolation and quarantine in between taking less frequent but higher risk bookings. My support system is also immunocompromised, and since I rely on them for basic stuff (laundry, grocery shopping and essential transportation), I prioritize the small amount of inperson time I have outside of quarantine with them. This has definitely taken a toll on community building (there is really no substitute for time spend face-to-face when making relationships with other sw--even w/tech access, it is essential to building trust). I think that is the hardest part for me--having to say no to spending time in person with other workers most of the time! I guess the best we can do is plan gatherings for lower-surge times. <3
