Claire: And this is Claire. Joy: This is Joy and Claire. Happy 2022.  Claire: Here we are. Joy: Yay. Claire: It’s been a week almost already. Joy: Yeah, how are we going so far? Claire: 2022 is not the fresh start – Joy: That we all hoped for. Claire: That we all hoped for. Yeah, our au pair has Covid, which she’s feeling find and she’s isolating in the basement. She was not around us, but she came home and isolated and tested. It just feels like I am the second to last person in a dodgeball game right now. And my whole dodgeball strategy as a non-competitive person is to just lurk in the background and try to make people think I’m not a threat. Because I’m not a threat. Like, I don’t care. So I typically last quite long in dodgeball games because I just lurk. And that feels like it’s also been my Covid strategy. Just lurk as long as possible, but inevitably… here we are.  Joy: I know.

Claire: Everybody’s kind of coming back into the office this week. Not into the office but working again after break. I don’t feel like I’ve talked to anyone who’s like, “Yeah, my holiday went off without a hitch.” If you’re feeling that, if you’re like, “Ugh, I was supposed to have a break and it wasn’t a break because we were stuck at the house with the kids and we didn’t get to do the things we wanted.” Or “I was supposed to see my family and I didn’t end up getting to see them. Again.” You’re not alone. I don’t know if that helps anymore. Joy: Yeah. I’m seeing the staffing shortage at the airports, at least in the United States. I don’t know about elsewhere. But how flights are getting delayed. There’s a lot of bad news that has happened. I truly don’t believe that that’s setting the stage for the year. But of course, we had a tough week in Colorado with the recent shootings that we had in Denver as well as Colorado fires. I just feel like there’s so much going on that we have fatigue of you just can’t take any more information in. So at what point do you sort of be like,
