Working remotely! Can I say I LOVE IT!!!
Now, I'm not so much liking the reason why of course. But I am so thankful that I do have that option and do not have to go into my work thus exposing myself to the possibility of contracting the virus or bringing it home.
Am I still working? Yes I am. And I feel like I'm accomplishing quite a bit. I'm able to assist students through e-mails and voicmails. I am not receiving calls but I am available to my on-campus co-workers if they need me to follow-up with a student who might be needing extensive assistance.
We actually have three workspaces set up at home as Gary is also working remotely. I have the breakast room, Gary has the dining room and we have Lily's bedroom in case privacy is needed. Not necessarily privacy but maybe quieter space. Such as if we both happen to have Zoom meetings at the same time or both need to use our phones. One of us goes to Lily's room which can be set up with a small desk as needed.
You can see from my first picture that I have a pretty great view. I've picked a few roses that have bloomed from my garden and brought inside. I also have a picture of my favorite partrooper there. Did you see the engraving on my tray? Enjoying Life - that's what I'm doing. Enjoing this time I have at home. I watch walkers in the neighborhood. We have provided chalk should anyone wish to leave a picture or message on our driveway. It's always fun to see someone sitting in the driveway drawing a picture. Not to mention, I now think I know which neighbor it is that has the big dog who uses my yard for a restroom but doesn't pick up after it. I can tell that my across the street neighbor must be bored as it appears he has been mowing his yard twice a week.
I know that this is a temporary thing but if I could I would work from home forever! If they could just forward my phones. Yes, I know phones can be forwarded but a call center is a little bit different.
So for now I will continue Enjoying Life.
