Feeling frustrated with colleagues

I wouldn’t be travelling anywhere at the moment but there’s not much you can do about other people’s choices. It is frustrating though. Do you see them at work or are you WFH?

Well, have a rant on here BGB31 rather than fall out with your colleagues, after all you must spend several hours each day with them. All you can do is make sure that you are sticking to the rules. They may be foolish but 'least said soonest mended' as my dear old Mum used to say.

I have heard from two colleagues that they are both going away for a few days this week (not together!).
One has had the virus, the other is worried about getting it because it could mean she can't see her family at Christmas.

I didn't say anything in response, but am left feeling cross and frustrated at what I see as their irresponsible actions (both will be using public transport to get to their destinations).

I think I have stuck to the rules pretty rigidly throughout - for my own sake as well as other people's. I'm not a saint (far from it wink ), but to me this is an important, temporary situation where we have to think of others as well as ourselves.

I know there's no answer to this, I'm just ranting! (To stop me falling out with my colleagues perhaps!).
