Today was my first day "at" the new Current Paying Gig. (An outfit called Alegeus, of which you probably haven't heard. Even though we manage about 40% of all the Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts in the US, all the websites and mobile apps use the client company's branding rather than ours.)

I put "at" in quotes because, well, coronavirus. The company is in total work-from-home mode, so the onboarding workshop was being done via videoconference. Makes for an easy commute, at least.

A day which started on a weird note indeed. Parking for this Current Paying Gig is a public garage, which was (for whatever reason) close to full. I had to drive up all the way to the top level, with another vehicle following close behind. I finally found a spot and pulled in; whereupon the driver of the vehicle behind me stopped and walked up to my car. Said driver flashes a badge at me and says, "Sir, could you park further up the ramp? I need this spot for surveillance."

Not a problem - there was plenty of parking further up the ramp - but definitely a weird start to the day.
