Well I'm in week 5 of work from home and my moustache/goatee has finally moved past the awkward junior high level. Work has been surprisingly good about the whole WFH thing and we're still getting stuff done, so I imagine a few people will be lobbying to make this a more long term thing since it does save a pile of money and time on gas and commutes.

My girlfriend and I are going to do some spring cleaning
It's probably going to rain both days.
Joy.
I mean, I suppose I could have done that in the office as well, but might have got some weird looks. Now only the cat can judge me.
Yesterday, my IT director asked me and my manager to come up with an operational plan for our AV group in case we cannot bring on any student or temporary help during the evenings for the Fall semester. Gave a couple of scenarios to him, one being I work a four, 10-hour work week schedule Monday through Thursdays to cover the classes and events that go on in that time frame without the student/temp workers and I get Friday off, the least busy day, covered by my senior team members. It's a pretty flexible trade off, considering the other option I offered is to cram the classes that normally need evening AV/IT support into the regular school day and cut off recording and distance learning support by 6 PM, which would probably be a more logistical challenge for our Registrar and our non-day job adjunct faculty to schedule and teach.
We'll see how well the ideas go over.
The cat always judges you anyway.
I can take care of my sick kid, while also sneezing a lot myself, and do the dishes and the laundry, and cook dinner.
Wait.
I think I misunderstood the question

but it's a different experience having your kid and your spouse also home at the same time. and spouse is also working.

Tornado Ellie strikes again?
Although when it’s nice outside I turf the kids out in the backyard and they can usually entertain themselves there for an hour or two
but we've loaded it with some educational games and I've also put my Kindle account and I'm going to be moving some of my knitting patterns onto it so that whe Ellie is asleep and I want to knit in bed, I can do so with something larger than my phone screen.
We paid for a quick mahjong game for her, as my Mom taught her the concept of Mahjong when mom was here.
Ellie almost beat a full Butterfly layout last night, completely on her own. So I'm thinking this was a good plan

So, guess I'm gonna be waiting for a while. C'est la vie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I waited about half an hour after he left then went home. I'm done with these people.
I would like to clarify that I do consider the brave workers at Taco Bell to be human, but I don't consider "Would you please be the accessory to my beef mistake" "Yes of course that will be twelve dollars please drive around" to be really talking to someone.
someone came into my office a few weeks ago right after I let one rip and I was completely unapologetic about it, looking up and going "oh yeah that was me by the way"
As a side to this I do treat people with respect no matter who they are so it's kind of known around this side of town
I felt embarrassed since the only way they do curbside take out is if you have the app but I didn't know that but the employee handed me the bag watching me put it in my backpack and thanking me for being understanding about needing the app
I got positively giddy last weekend when I realised I can buy sunchokes without fear of social consequence.
Also enjoying quiet office time to work on documentation.....while mentally noting, "its in writing, motherfucker! Now do your fucking job!"
Also, how do you avoid spreading rumors about a toxic employee when said employee has been a dick to everyone so they almost all have first hand knowledge of said employee's dickishness?

On the one hand, it's mildly demotivating to feel like we're busting a gut over here going through this massive increase in demand for social services and slamming it without the opportunity to be recognised in the usual manner for the significant effort and accomplishments we're managing to achieve under extraordinary pressure and stressful circumstances.
On the other hand, it's absolutely the right call; I'm not really in it for the money, I'm already well compensated, and as a public servant I enjoy stable, reliable employment, which is more than many other people have during times of crisis. All I really want is tangible evidence that the effort is recognised, and the affirmation of a job well done.
My good pen that lives on top of my notebook when I'm here during the week is gone this morning.
:bro:
Maybe a printed certificate and a pat on the back?
Colleagues with good performance and roles that can be done remotely are able to get leadership approval for regular wfh, and with HR approval can be permanently remote (colleagues just need to pay to travel into the office as needed)
I just need to convince my boss to let me work from SoCal, and then convince any new bosses I get to let me stay out there. I’ll just need to fly to Columbus for a couple days every month.
I already have a place to live in Coronado...
My wife is wfh now too, and her company is based in Anaheim (she is an employee of the Columbus office)- she would just need to convince them to let her stay wfh and maybe drive up to the Anaheim office one day a week...
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
@Fishman I can make you a tray thing if you want:
