workaday Wednesday
Mar. 18th, 2020 05:47 amDay 3 of working from home -- it's weird, because every day I think I must be going back to the office tomorrow. Previous work-from-home days have been for snow or other weather, so it's always been just a single day at a time. This whole 'every day all week' thing is really throwing me off.
On the other hand, my workplace announced that the delivery of coffee supplies has been suspended, so that eliminates the one thing I really miss about going to work: making my free cup of coffee every morning.
Right now the biggest challenge is that my VPN connection is a little dicey -- it drops out multiple times a day, and I practice deep breathing while I wait for it to reconnect. I don't really know enough about technology to say what the issue is. But I have one coworker who was trying to use their phone's hotspot yesterday, and another who has no internet at all (due to a presumably-temporary outage in their area), so I figure I'm doing pretty okay.
So that's where I'm at: the 'doing pretty okay' stage.
