We've returned to the office, even in the midst of a new wave of the virus. We couldn't wait to see each other and talk about the everyday things that keep us from going crazy. Some of us also met up for Christmas and New Year's, had a couple of beers together, and chatted occasionally via WhatsApp to catch up and see what surprises we'd experienced during the holidays. Only one person completely cut off communication from the pack, and that was precisely the leader. As soon as we published the list of the 21 songs of 2021, he looked at us wearily, grabbed his bags, and left. He had already planned to withdraw almost completely from humanity, warning everyone present to only contact him in case of extreme, very extreme necessity. That is, a fatal fire in our workplace, the loss of a loved one, or an alien invasion. In fact, all the extra payments for that period to all the staff had been paid in advance, and the end-of-year party was held ahead of schedule. Once there were no more editorial obligations, a friend was waiting for him in his car to take him to a house that had been lent to him on the outskirts of the city, bringing enough food and drink for 14 days., His entire collection of William Shakespeare's plays, a whole tin of pipe tobacco, and a projector to watch the complete works of Pedro Almodóvar. His friend left him there at that house, reminding him to take his medicine without delay, and promising to return on the appointed day to pick him up and take him back to the capital.
The boss says they were wonderful days, where he didn't cross paths with humans., except for a caretaker of the farm where he was, who in the mornings brought him firewood, fresh milk and the newspaper of the day, which, when it came down to it, only served to light the fire in the fireplace. Each day that passed he leisurely drank a bottle of whisky of a different brand, prepared large salads, read a drama by the Bard of Stratford-upon-Avon before sunset, and fell asleep happily watching two or three times Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Christmas found him, while the gunpowder from the nearest town echoed, half-drunk reciting Othello, saying «"Oh, invisible spirit of wine, if there is no name by which you are known, we will call you the devil!". The new year reminded him of Hamlet, reciting as if it were a promise of the birth of a new era, «"And above all, be true to yourself, and then, as night follows day, you will not be able to be false to any man."». In short, as he himself said upon his return, He went away for a few days to talk to himself in a place where he wasn't known, so that he could then return calmly to the chaos that surrounds us without losing his sanity.
