Looking For Somewhere Safe From COVID-19 to Work? Can We Resuscitate Those Places of Yore Called Offices?
Thomas J. Madden, Chairman and CEO, Transmedia Group
Hopefully, this prolonged pandemic I call a damndemic, won’t have lasting effects as I don’t think social distancing, wearing masks and staying home is making us any healthier or friendlier.
So, how many masks, hand sanitizers, disinfectant wipes will it take to return to those workplaces of yore called offices. How much Clorox and Lysol are needed to restore our confidence and help us adapt to the new, socially-distant normal?
Now maybe we need to throw some light on the situation.
So entering into our daily drama are products that use one of the oldest, most tested approach to sanitizing—light. Not just any light, but that super light called UV.
One of the newest ultra violet light products is a cool sunslinger called PleXus.
The PleXus kid is a lightning fast, quick-on-the-draw ultraviolet sanitization sunslinger that recently rode into town using UVC light to kill COVID-19 in a couple minutes.
I call UV solutions sunslingers because they can shoot the COVID KID dead in its tracks before it even knows what hit him.
Maybe staying home, working remotely is good for Netflix and the tech sector. But what about us? What about our sanity while adapting to this new normal? Now, thank goodness, comes sanity in sanitizing!
Now office workers, thanks to UV can forget having to work at home where you delved instead of shelved . . . where you stayed assiduously on the hunt for meaning, solutions and new business like never before.
Working remotely so long we were all becoming screwy or worse, scroogy, like little Ebenezers modeling ourselves after that fictional character from A Christmas Carol.
Misanthropy is defined as a general hatred, dislike, distrust or contempt of the human species or human nature brought on by feelings of isolation often caused by running away from and social distancing ourselves from other humans, this time suspected by being carriers of COVID.
Philosopher Nietzsche took to calling himself a free spirit.
Another misanthrope, writer/philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, was known to have said “Hell is other people.”
Author Franz Kafka also was thought to be one as was well-known English writer/author Oscar Wild. He once said, “The only possible society is oneself.”
Fortunately, misanthropy is an entirely treatable condition. And now COVID’s met more than its match.
Hello PleXus. Bye-bye COVID!
So, let’s step out of “oneself,” away from that stupefying solitude and become friendly again, while staying safe and COVID free wearing our masks, keeping our social distance and using UV to sanitize our offices.
Maybe one day we’ll all embrace and shake hands again, if we can remember how to do it.
Meanwhile some self-restraint and sunslingers like PleXus will bring us all back to life again in our UV sanitized boardrooms and into those poor neglected, now almost anachronistic, but soon to be virus free workplaces called offices.
