Started eating lunch at my desk instead of the break room this week, which probably looks odd since I always used to sit with everyone.
Someone asked if something was wrong and I just said I was tired, which is true enough I guess but not the whole story. I’m 3 weeks into tapering off the steroid cream and honestly don’t have it in me to explain that over sandwiches.
Night shift doesn’t help either. I get home around 8am most days and my whole schedule is backwards from theirs anyway, so the desk lunch thing works out fine for me. Started sketching a bit while I eat too, which I hadn’t done in years.
Still feels strange dodging people I’ve worked with for so long though… Has anyone found a way to keep a little distance from coworkers without it turning into a whole conversation about why?
