I might go the ebay route ... I've thought about it ... it's just a matter of DOING IT. This move has taken up so much of my time and energy - as I was doing the weeding out and starting packing - that, as has been said, I don't have any spoons. And I have to spend eight hours in the office each day ... plus commute (which is, thankfully, shorter these days), so there's a large chunk of the day. Also - I'm 68 years old. I don't have the energy I had even a few years ago. I get tired and I hurt pretty much all the time.

We have a number of eBay sellers around here where you just drop your stuff and they take care of selling and shipping and so forth. I haven't used them, but I should!

I cannot believe that they do not allow working from home in this year of our mother earth 2020.

I cannot recommend enough getting yourself some epson salt (I like the lavender scented) and having a long soak bath.

Also, bless doing things online. I was really able to accomplish almost all non-work things I needed to yesterday just sitting at my computer.

Thank god for the Internet!

Also thank god I have Friday off.

We are going to be mostly remote for all of FY21 (which starts today), they just announced to my office. Yikes.

THE GARAGE DOOR IS WORKING!! - remotes are programmed. Keypad is programmed.

It is a happy day. And, as I suspected this was this teams' first install of a new door. Bless. Well, I will be on their ass if it does not hold up, but for now, it is running smoothly after several tests and they have cleaned up all their stuff.

Electrician says tomorrow. not holding breath, but again, I am not above texting Daily.

wow, Jesse!

That's a big commitment this far in advance, but doesn't speak well to the understanding of vaccine development and virus containment.

My office announced that we won't be re-opening the physical office until some time in August (originally scheduled for next week). There had been plans to increase staff, putting us all closer together ... but with the social distancing and a decrease in income, I think that's off the board. The PTB are looking at moving - they're not happy with the building (ironically, it was a major improvement over the previous building) so we'll see what happens.

I know several lawyer friends who will not be working in the office 5 days a week any time soon. Some of their firms are looking at decreasing office space and some are looking at moving offices out of city center high rent areas.

Sadly my office will be going back to in-office work in 2 weeks, but with a one week on 2 weeks off model. Sadly, not all departments are being so accommodating and are requesting support staff back in at full-time every day. I wish their would be more top-down enforcement of at LEAST 50% work from home time in any pay period, but that seems unlikely.

One week on/two weeks off would drive me nuts, because I would want to bring my monitor etc back and forth every time.

I think for us, they have realized that the vast majority of the necessary work is getting done. And I don't know whose requirement this is (not the State), but we're working with only 10% capacity for the time being, so after training and testing and etc., a few more people could go in, but not more than a few at this point.

Woooo!
