Can we PLEASE normalize decompressing after work?!

There are some days after work where I need a solid hour to decompress from wanting to destroy the world to being loving and supportive at home.

But usually all I have is the parking lot, the commute or literally home to do that in unless I take a detour to a park but that’s usually asking a lot. So a moment before I have to jump back in the game would be very helpful. Then I can spend the night with better energy, focus…
