some Monday thoughts

marcicat*The end of May has a way of sneaking up on me, so I have a loooooong list of things I'm hoping to get done this week.
*I ordered a mat to go under the treadmill. Tracking says it left California last Tuesday, and hasn't checked in anywhere since. That mat is on An Adventure!
*I did everything on my 'looking forward to' list yesterday except coffee, because 1) it was so hot; and 2) I didn't feel like cleaning the coffee maker afterwards.
*Summer hours start at work this week, which when I worked onsite I never did, because it was genuinely more fun to work through Friday afternoons than to come in an extra hour the other four days of the week, but now that we're working remotely it's one of those 'might as well' things. The rest of my team does it, so there's some team solidarity involved. (Remote work has changed the office social and political landscape SO MUCH, it's great.)
*I took the big picture off the wall behind me (aka my work zoom background), so that I could spackle the nail hole, but I left the picture sitting on a table. It's either close enough to its original positioning that no one noticed, or no one I've been on a call with has cared enough to mention it.
*Which is to say, I still haven't *actually* told anyone at work that I'm moving, which is only getting more funny the longer it goes on. The room I work in (and EVERY room, ugh) is filled with boxes, but the Very Small Area viewable over zoom is pretty clear.
*I have no interest in my work habits getting increased scrutiny, or in anyone being able to even HINT that perhaps I've 'had a lot going on,' or 'am experiencing stress at home' that might be impacting my work productivity. As far as I'm concerned, the less my workplace knows about me, the better.
