“The ambulance will be there soon to pick you up,” my local company’s HR representative said over phone. “So you need to pack your belongings and get ready.”
“Okay,” I said compliantly in a hushed tone. Suddenly the reality of everything was coming to me.
“You okay?” he asked.
I snapped out of my funk. “Yeah, I feel fantastic. Funny today has been my best day and now it’s become my worst.”

“Yes?”
“We are here to take you to isolation.”
