Apparently the CEO, who is in the northeast somewhere, is big on "face time."

Great that you can keep that model, Drew.
Good luck, Dana and Calli, on your returns.
I did my mock interview today - went great, and it was an hour and a half! Too bad it wasn't actually for the job. But it's been a while since I've done a real interview, so it was good... exercise.
Beautiful day here. I should go for a walk, but I'm wiped out, so instead, I'm watching Stowaway on Netflix and eating pasta. As you do.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Officially our blanket permission to WFH expires at the end of June, but I think most individual orgs will decide to continue allowing folks to work flexibly. My co-workers are spread across 5 cities in 3 continents so it's not as though working full time from the office would reduce the number of video conference calls we all have.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm not sure how much more teleworking I'll be doing from now on, as the head of the lab wants all of us in the lab every day.(Not that I was doing much on the one telework day a week I got, as my job doesn't travel well)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Three more signs of Spring:
- the maple seeds are blowing around
- the apartment complex mowed the grass for the first tine this year
- I had to turn on the air conditioning

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I've been working in the office one day a week in April, to be increased to M-W-F in May. Though I'm going to wait until the 2nd week of May so I'll have (nearly) 2 weeks after my 2nd vaxx shot. Everything coming down from corporate is about how they're going to "embrace" the new flexibility, but meanwhile my local site says M-W-F, no flexibility on hours (well, no, they'd let me come in earlier, but definitely no later). So, pretty typical - good catchphrases, little actual flexibility or accommodation. I'm trying to have a good attitude - I mean, before March 2020 I was never allowed to WFH in any way, so 2 days a week is pretty good. I guess I'm just a bit spoiled now. (No commute! No makeup! No shoes!)

I continue to work from home like usual. But I look forward to being able to work in cafes or cowork again! (I would totally go to the office a couple days a week if we had one)

Drew, I just want to say you are the best theatre arts employer I have ever encountered! You supply laptops! You think of your workers. You are just the perfect person to own a sound business!
I am fully vaccinated, so now I am not so scared of the bus . My employer has no plan. They say they have a plan, but the plan on the website is basically, do what your boss tells you. I am planning on starting to go in again, because I hate my work from home set up and am losing my mind. I didn’t do it today because I had an 8-9 am zoom and a 4-7 pm zoom and not enough commute time to make both of those without staying in the office from 8 am - 8 pm.
My big problem is that I have lost my keys. I am pretty sure they are somewhere in my house. The Tile can’t find them, but it also needs replacement. I just don’t see where else they could be because I literally don’t go anywhere except the corner store, and I asked there. I guess they could be at the church from the funeral? It just seems more likely they are in my house. While searching, I did find my HSA bank card, my headphones, and several pairs of lost glasses.

Yay!

Boo! Dammit, Tile! You have literally one job.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At least that would just take one call/email to confirm.
So on Tumblr, it seems the Young People don't understand posts that say something like, "We're in the the second April of covid, but next week..." and then a picture of dry ramen. For NSYNC-era Justin Timberlake, for "It's gonna be May." I can't decide if the elders are letting down the next generation, or if JT should be forgotten!
