Gotta say that my life is getting a bit tiresome. While my institution may be opening in a limited fashion in the next couple of weeks my job will probably remain as “Work from home” until we conquer this virus. When might that be? No one knows. So here I sit in my chair watching far too much TV (Currently “The Last Kingdom” and various military histories) and I’m thinking I’m going to get in a lot more golf during the week (We will see). Until baseball gets back, and I am increasingly doubting that it will, I’m bored and that boredom may be in place for a few more months. Sigh.
So, what’s up with you? How you all getting along? How bright or dark is your immediate future?
I gotta wear shades.
Don’t watch TV! OK, but only shows without commercials. If you must watch a military history on a channel that has commercials, record it and fast-forward through them. Commercials rot your brain.
My place of business decided in May that its offices would remain closed to the public until September. (I’m an essential employee, though, and must still go in to work.) I find it hard to believe this was a science-based decision.
I’m really tired of being treated like a leper at every business. Tiresome is indeed the word.
Definitely in the same boat. I started teaching this year in a technical college. I’ve been spending a lot of time creating instruction videos for equipment and technologies that I don’t have access to anymore. Definitely a challenge. I’m currently in a meeting discussing how we’re going to be wrapping CNC equipment in Saran wrap so that students can use it when they are finally allowed back on campus…
That is insane. The whole country has gone insane. Damn, they couldn’t wait till I was dead to do this?
Saran wrap? Seriously? How in the world does that help?
Beats me. Our labs just got cut from 15-20 people in a lab at a time to 1 person per trainer. Onsite lab time just got multiplied by the trainer to student ratio
