Back to Work

[Context: In waking life, we're in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, and work has completely shut down except for those of us that can work remotely.  Starting Monday, 4/27/2020, Trevor returned to the office and warehouse in order to start putting away stock that has been delivered to the Goulets' previously so that we can slowly start getting up and running.]

In the dream, the morning that Trevor went back to work, I was told I could also go in since we would not cross paths, and so I went.  When I got there, it was just Trevor in the warehouse, but shortly after, more people started showing up.

At first I was excited to see the other people as well, but I soon realized that they were all in Trevor's area helping out with the receiving, and they weren't practicing safe social distancing.  Rachel was at the receiving tables within two or three feet of other people.  Drew was walking around talking to everyone from only about three feet away.  Adam, Brandon, Anita, Micah and all sorts of people were there, and no one seemed to care that we could be getting each other sick.  For some reason I was even in the warehouse instead of back in my office away from everyone.

I really wanted to say something to everyone, but I just couldn't get it out, and I think part of it was that I didn't want to seem like the bad guy or stepping out of my place to tell everyone else what to do.  I figured that if Rachel, who is normally very cautious, was ok with it, then it must be ok, but I knew deep down that it really wasn't yet.  The dream ended there.
