That's pretty awesome, Laura. Way to be quietly inspirational, Brendon!
I'm glad you're recovering nicely, too.
Quiet, gray day here. My friend D and I co-worked via Zoom yesterday, and it was weirdly astounding. We put each other on mute, and did our work! I was far more productive yesterday just having him up in the corner, and so was he. We don't know why, but we don't care. We are co-Zooming again today. I mean, we literally said maybe a paragraph's worth of stuff to each other, and most of that was logistics. Both came and went as we pleased, but... it worked!
That is a nice way to add a bit of a socialization element to the WFH environment. Except for the having to wear pants part. Well, depending on the co-worker for that one.
That's a good idea, JenP. I'm on zoom with people for a couple of hours most days, so that's probably enough for me, but if I wasn't I'd consider it.
It's a cold, drizzly, gray day here, today. So I have pot roast in the slow cooker and plans for mashed potatoes.
I don't want more Zoom in my life, but I do miss having my coworkers just kind of passively nearby where we can idly chat if so moved. Every interaction we have now - chat or email or zoom or whatever - is for a purpose, you know?

I miss casual interaction so much. There's a fair amount of chatter on our team Slack but it's not the same.
Yeah, we don't even have that. There is some sporadic chat happening but it's pretty sparse (or I am not invited to most of it, which is also possible)
Coincidentally, I just got a notice that we are switching our corporate phones to Zoom. Who knew Zoom had a phone system?
I generally miss casual chatter and interaction. And not-casual. Life is real boring and lonesome right now…
I plenty of chitchat and interaction on the work front, but am seriously people deprived on the personal front. I miss gatherings, dinners, parties, and hugs. DH gets a lot more people interaction with his coaching. I haven't been to any of his games. People, people in enclosed spaces! Some day.
Casual interactions with my neighbors and people at the store or whatever, also. At least I have here to natter in!
For some reason, I woke up this morning thinking I had no meetings scheduled today. I actually have two. Oops. At least I checked my calendar before I missed one. And neither one should require much input from me, I don't think.
