Uh oh. Not so good a job of “quarantine” or working from home as I’m here in a 99% empty office picking up some supplies and getting some more productive work done.

Quarantine/Social Distancing/working from home: Day Six (day 8 on the calendar)

Quarantine/Social Distancing/working from home: Day 12 (day 16 on the calendar)

Beard is growing back. My CEO keeps complaining that he can see my nostrils when I use my phone for MS Teams calls. It feels like day eleventy billion of social distancing. I miss bowling.

Working hard (me) and Hardly Working (her, playing Animal Crossing).

Quarantine/Social Distancing/working from home: Day 14 (day 18 on the calendar)

Day 2 of me Working hard and Nicole Hardly Working (playing Animal Crossing). I’m KIDDING! She worked her ass off this morning & this is her first break other than lunch. She’s a rockstar my wife.

Quarantine/Social Distancing/working from home: Day 15 (day 19 on the calendar)

I’m going through a crap ton of emails and notifications from carriers on the effects on transportation. She’s stuffing 700 envelopes for work and watching every version of Dawn of the Dead.

Quarantine/Social Distancing/working from home: Day 16 (day 22 on the calendar)

Weather was nice so we took a walk at lunch. Neighborhood is eerily quiet during the day. And now we are back and managing to have fun in the home office. While still focusing on work, of course.

Quarantine/Social Distancing/working from home: Day 17 (day 23 on the calendar)

I did an unintentional “Wayne from Letterkenny” cosplay today.

Getting tons of work done this morning while jamming to some 90s grunge music (and some modern rock). Nirvana and Foo Fighters improve my output by 25%.

Quarantine/Social Distancing/working from home: Day 20 (day 26 on the calendar)

Excited that the weekend is almost here. Until I realize that the weekend is just like the rest of the week now and the only difference is that I’m not sitting at the computer for 8 hours doing work.

Even the cats are working on social distancing as Fidget stopped by the window to say hello to Spencer.

Trust the process...of working from home!!! #TrustTheProcess #FlattenTheCurve

Good hair days are in short supply. Thinking of using the clippers and scissors this weekend. Meanwhile, still very comfortable and efficient working via the home office.

Quarantine/Social Distancing/working from home: Day 25 (day 33 on the calendar)

With masks being required in public spaces I put one on today. But I have the feeling this isn’t the kind they mean —- but it’s working very well as no one is coming near me now.

Aside from working today, we have some potentiometer adopters coming over to check our Baby and Blue, the cats we’ve been fostering for a couple months.

Quarantine/Social Distancing/working from home: Day 27 (day 37 on the calendar)

Working from home is getting easier. Feels more natural and I actually have far fewer distractions than when I’m in the office. The only downfall is that I want to eat all day long.

Quarantine/Social Distancing/working from home: Day 28 (day 38 on the calendar)

Wanted to go out for a walk after lunch but it’s cold and windy and feels more like mid-January than mid-April. Bleh.

Not sunny today but warm. Skipped going out for a walk in favor of doing some yoga when we are finished working today. Enjoyed some leftover homemade curry and rice for lunch.

Everyone doing OK?
