Meditations on Ron DeSantis’s Florida, working in the laundry room and why Petula Clark might not recognize today’s downtown

Walking around downtown Victoria, I am reminded of Florida governor Ron DeSantis’s comments after ­forcing through another bunch of terrible, base-friendly laws because … uh, I’m guessing Freedom or maybe Oranges .

Florida’s sweet spot in the pantheon of weirdo states has traditionally been “Huh? LOL,” or more formally “Seriously, what the heck is going on here?” And that’s exactly what comes to mind walking around certain parts of downtown Victoria. Working from home became more acceptable ­during the COVID-19 pandemic, which you may have heard and/or coughed about. During those two years of ­existential anxiety, we proved it is possible to do most jobs without Susan from accounting spit-talking on you in the elevator.

Perhaps you haven’t yet made up your mind about working from home, and need a trustworthy guide to help navigate all the modern work options. If you find one, please let me know because that sounds quite ­helpful.PRO: no commute! Swap the twice-daily hour-long white knuckle drive over the Malahat for a 20-second amble from the bedroom to the kitchen table.

Also, no prying eyes are watching your every move and judging when you dance around the room to Taylor Swift AS IS YOUR FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT. We are social beings, and the degree to which one progresses in a career is often related to being social at work. Obviously this is not relevant if you keep the negatives and a set of naughty prints somewhere safe, off-site.
