Work From Home Log Day 9: (Day 10?)

-9:45am: I do not remember this many episodes of So Weird making me cry. It's a lot deeper than I was expecting. Also, when was Twilight written? Because this episode has an immortal teenager, part of a family that moves whenever their secret gets out/almost gets out. Just saying.

-10:00am: Oh God Fi is explaining a chat room to her mother, and the mom feels old. A CHAT ROOM.

-2:30pm: I am so sick of meetings. I understand that we're having more because we are all remote, but I am sick of them. So grateful that tomorrow is Saturday.

Haven't even watched Disney Plus at all this week. Work is picking back up, which is great!

I was so busy today, I didn't even have time for a Work from Home Log!

Work from Home Log Day 4:

-9:00am: Had a very long meeting this morning, and I have to say that Skype for Business works really well overall. Even when there's like 20 people on the call.

-1:00pm: Discovered that So Weird is on Disney Plus, and am about to reinvigorate my crush on Erik von Detten. Also, having never seen it when I watched So Weird the first time, I didn't previously realize how much this show is The X-Files for kids.

-2:00pm: Why does working from home make me so tired? It's literally less effort.

-5:00pm: Not much to say today apparently. I also actually had work to do, so that helped.

Work from Home Log Day 3:

-11:22am: Next week is Mash Up week for Let's Make a Deal and The Price is Right. Is it bad that I'm excited to watch that? That I'll be home to watch that?

-1:20pm: There is TOO MUCH good stuff on Disney Plus. I WANT TO WATCH IT ALL. (I settled on Cinderella for now, since I am trying to work at the same time.)

-1:50pm: Cinderella was totally gonna whack Lucifer with that broom, wasn't she? And the mice are promoting re-use!

-2:15pm: DAMN the king in Cinderella is sassy.

-2:30pm: Yeah, it's all 'let's get along with the cat' until he's stopping you from getting the key. Then all bets are off. Also, I freaking love that Bruno is the hero in this movie.

-3:15pm: Skype is not flattering.

-4:30pm: Why does everyone wait until after 4 to call me?

Work from Home Log Day 2 (sans timestamps):

-Downloaded Disney Plus last night, and I do not regret it one bit.

-Watching The Three Musketeers. God, Chris O'Donnell gets his ass kicked A LOT in this movie.

-Also, the actor playing the henchman in this movie, who is basically Guy of Gisborne, is actually the same dude who plays Guy in Prince of Thieves (Michael Wincott). I... can't decide how I feel about that.

-Unexpected perk of working from home? I can sing along with my music out loud.

-Watched The Little Mermaid TV series (well, one episode). Still delightful, although it got dark kinda fast when the shark people extorted Ariel to write a fake note by threatening to stab Flounder.

-Talked to Dad today, and he's been sent home for 6-8 weeks because he's over 60 and his job is being cautious. I appreciate that, but he and Mom may actually kill each other.

Working from Home Log, Day 1

- 9:30am: The actress on SVU who I thought looked kind of like Susan from Friends turned out to actually be Susan from Friends (Jessica Hecht).

-10:00am: Am rediscovering Snapchat.

-11:00am: Andrew put some corned beef in the slow cooker before he went to work today, and it just started to smell like corned beef in here.

-12:00pm: This woman on the Price is Right had to pick a number between 0 and 9 and get it exactly right to win a car, and she DID. Shook.

-12:20pm: The president interrupted Price is Right, so I switched back to SVU. Someone just handed Stabler a floppy disc of info.

-1:00pm: Had a pretty serious Skype meeting for work, but the bright side is they are doing just about everything they can to keep us employed and insured.

-2:00pm: This is by far the most actual phone calls I have ever used my cell phone for.

-5:30pm: Nothing else interesting to report. But please enjoy this!

It's so beautiful and sunny outside, and I just want to stay in my bed forever. (To be fair, it's also kind of cold out there).

Good news is, my office is having our phones ring to our cells, so we can stay the fuck home.

Hello everyone! I am posting this from my parents' living room, because they have internet and I still don't. I just wanted to say a few things.

1. Obviously I am wicked behind on reading and updating, so I think, for the foreseeable future, that the daily posting schedule is going out the window. I was kind of starting to feel burnt out with that anyway, and running out of things to say. Not that I'm abandoning y'all or anything, and I'm sure I'll have plenty of new work stories here shortly, but I just thought you should be aware of the schedule change.

2. I also think I'm going to stop with the song quote titles on a regular basis. This is honestly because I don't think anyone really cares anymore, including me. But, by all means, if anyone feels strongly that they want me to keep going I could probably manage.

3. I have learned SO MUCH at this job in just a week, and it's awesome. For instance, on Friday I learned that the head of my department is a gymnastics coach on the side, and he did a backflip in the office for us. I promise I've learned environmental stuff too though. :D

4. I'm not quite mature enough for this office environment. Someone said that multi-family housing was an area in which we needed 'deeper penetration' and I started to giggle, then realized that no one else was laughing. I guess 'that's what she said' isn't a popular joke around here. It's not a super serious place, but it's a lot more professional than where I worked in NC.

5. During HR orientation, when the guy was listing off all the things that could be considered sexual harassment, I had to concentrate really hard on not laughing because we used to do EVERY SINGLE ONE of them at my last job on a regular basis. Especially discussing people's sexual prowess.



Everyone hope that I get internet installed soon!
