After a year of working from home today is the day I have to go back to the office. This means that instead of walking upstairs at 5 minutes to 7 I have to leave the house at 6pm to drive to work to remotely log into sites and provide remote customer support. But it’s better because I’m in an office. Yeah, better. My job should be completely remote, all the time. There is no reason whatsoever to have to work out of an office. So, I am not thrilled at all to go back.

For the foreseeable future I’ll be working at home. So, part of that is a nightly check in with my group. When we do it we do it with Google Meetings Hangout and so there is video. We goof around with each other and if we have masks we wear them. It gives everyone a chuckle before we get the meeting started.

I’ve also made some changes to my office setup for the week ahead. I’ll be doing some livestreams each day and was thinking about building a giant LEGO set. I have the Voltron set and I want to build that one. I think if I do one lion each day it will be a lot of fun. I’ve been inspired by what Mo Willems has been doing each day. He does lunch doodles for kids and he’s wonderful. You can see his show below.

For all that I’ve griped about work I am happy with how they have been handling this virus stuff. Working from home has been good. The kids are feeling safer that I am home. I like being able to put them to bed each night. I do get at least one night where I can’t but for the most part I can. I’ll take it.
