Wow Brenda, that sounds awesome.
As does David's visit with pigs and otters. Around here we only have cat cafes, and I'm allergic.
It's raining here and chilly, but the dog is on my feet. I'm trying not to stress about work, but. {{hugs}} to all the other fed-types. It's so hard not to know what's going to happen.
My management is trying to get the telework folks settled before our internal deadline of Feb 12, then try to solve the issue of the full remote workers. It's particularly hard on folks who do a longass telework thing (live outside the locality but work 2 days/pay period at the office to retain locality pay). We have a couple people like that, and they are worried about being forced to return to the office or (if they can go remote somehow) taking a big pay cut.
I have 4 full remote employees, 1 of whom is NOWHERE near any agency facilities. The other 3 we may be able to find homes for, so they can keep doing their (useful! important!) jobs.
I'm grateful my boss is being a complete mensch, but he is hobbled by the need to comply with the directives we are getting. And frustrated that we aren't getting ANY GUIDANCE on how to comply. The silence from HQ has been fucking deafening.
