Company has me working remotely until April 3.  I have no idea how that is going to look but I can only do so much from home.  Kids are off indefinitely at this point but do have work to keep them somewhat busy.  Wife is an administrator at a primary care clinic so her workload and stress has intensified.  Looks like the grocery shopping, cooking, and general household duties is all mine for a little while anyway.

I could work from home almost as effectively as from the office.  My boss knows this.  I'll be at the office as normal unless I have a fever

Some of us managers/middle managers have been talking about one of the long term (potential) impacts of this crisis, is a number of companies will come to realize or at least be able to validate that they sure don't need to have as much expensive office space.  (a question considered already I know, but now we're going to have a really good beta test).

Now, this is already happening in all kinds of industries, and WFH has become mostly acceptable in many industries, but some of the metrics on this will tell quite a story 6, 9, 12+ months down the road on this.   This will be a very interesting social experiment, among others.

Another, and I'm not excited or happy about these convos, will be how crime rates and types will be impacted by this.  These conversations I've been having at a safe distance with friends and neighbors have been fascinating.  Really .

We had optional "work from home" back in the day 1-2 days a week.  What many did was check their email regularly and then do whatever they wanted to do.  Of course, this is what many of them did at work, but they'd make some effort to appear to be "busy".  One guy would get up and walk at a brisk pace around the building every hour or so to "be seen".  He'd carry a notepad and look very purposeful.  He'd make a point to walk by the "Leadership Zone" several times and then go back to his office.  We had so many useless people there who basically made work for others.

I'm a high school administrator in East Central Indiana. We are closed until April 13 but I still have to come in every day. Starting tomorrow I will just be doing half days until the end of this thing. My kids are all at home. My oldest two are extremely frustrated. They are the two athletically inclined ones and with the schools and the Y being closed they don't really have a lot of options for basketball. Its still too cold and windy for outdoor games.

The most remarkable things about my "career" was that I spent my last 12 years doing almost nothing, and when I left, I was replaced with two people at the same pay grade.  When I first started that new assignment, for a year I kept thinking there surely was something I was supposed to be doing, but I never figured it out.  So, I posted here a lot.

Our school is replacing the solar panels on the covered parking out front, and they made a huge mistake.  They left their lifts (5 or 6 of them) over the weekend and the batteries were stolen out of them.  I'm not sure if it was for the batteries themselves or a copper component or whatever, but in the ghetto, you don't leave anything overnight you still want to possess the next morning.

So.. Who is to blame for this?

The contractor who left the items, or the criminals who stole the items?

The criminals are to blame, of course...

...the contractor is certainly guilty of poor judgement, though.

Kid #2 works for a large trucking company and tells me theft of wheels and tires is a big issue for them.
