Will I Get Fired?
One of the main reasons I started this blog was to document what I was thinking... or better yet: overthinking, and in real time. Today was my first day back to work from vacation. There wasn't a ton to catch up on since I was proactive in planning work around my trip 1.
However, I got tagged into a meeting to help prepare communications for the new VPN app everyone will be required to use. It triggered me to think about the last time I opened my company laptop. All I've ever used was my personal computer. Yikes!

Luckily, I was able to get the support I needed, and they're sending me a new laptop since the current one is extremely outdated and couldn't be updated. It was going to be necessary anyways in order to install the new VPN app, so it actually worked out in my favor. Now, I'll be able to to wallk through the process myself and accurately describe the experience in the email communications.
But still.. I'm nervous. If more context gets around about the real reason I needed the replacement laptop, then I could get into big trouble.
I've learned to anticipate the post-vacation blues.↩
