WORK FROM HOME MEGATHREAD
DAY 1:
The kids already hate me being here. I texted my lunch order to them while on a call and made them bring it to me in the office.
However, they did not coordinate and duplicated efforts.

End of work day.
@mrsbsdeacon not only didn’t kill me, she said it was actually “helpful” to have me here.
Documenting this so I can show her on day 17.

DAY 2:
What is going on here? They're making quesadillas at 11AM for breakfast(?)
3 y/o screaming while I had an open mic earlier. Had to ask, "Do you hear that?" Answer was yes, but they were gracious.
Working on a new microphone setup to block background noise.

One of the perks of working from home.
My beautiful bride, @mrsbsdeacon, brought me a libation in the office to celebrate St. Patty's day.

End of day.
Kids unhappy that I’m nailing their bathroom door shut for the duration of the quarantine. The floor squeaks and it’s right over top of my office.
Tell me what is wrong with using a barn stall?
Bright side — Son #2 made the dinner entree: smoked chicken.

DAY 4:
Not starting well. Asked @mrsbsdeacon if she was sure she didn’t have anywhere to go today so she could leave the house and take all the kids with her.
She told me she belongs at home and I do not.

Avoided @mrsbsdeacon all day so as not to get thrown out of the house.
I fear she may make us eat leftovers for dinner.

DAY 5:
@mrsbsdeacon is not pleased with the amount of TP I've sourced, just b/c you can't maneuver around it in our bathroom to get to the toilet...or shower...or sink.
For my safety, she'll be leaving the bunker today for an extended period and taking all of my "coworkers."

She left one, but he’s the quietest so we should be good.
DAY 6:
Rain forecasted all week so the kids can't go outside.
Great.

DAY 7:
Might be partly sunny today.
I don't care. They're going outside either way.
Anyone know where to get one of those IV Bags that holds coffee?

DAY 11:
Eerily quiet.
But that's probably because @mrsbsdeacon took the herd to a state park for the day.

Starting to recognize the various delivery people. I hope they don't have a collision in the driveway.
Further research on backyard shed offices.

I think the end is nigh.
There's a giant ball of fire in the sky. No idea what it is.

DAY 14:
Mail broken, VPN broken, account locked out.
I should just take the day off and go do something productive like mow the grass.
P.S. The giant fireball did not consume us yesterday, but it is back and menacing even brighter today.

DAY 15:
Work notified us that we will be working from home until at least May 1.
Beginning work in earnest to source a backyard office.
@mrsbsdeacon and kids have been very accommodating, but I think me moving outside will be great for everyone.

DAY 18:
Crash in the family room.
@mrsbsdeacon standing at the steps trying not to laugh and maintain a stern face, 3y/o coming down the steps.
Buzz Lightyear action figure laying on the floor.
3y/o: "I to infinity and beyonded Buzz...and he died."
