Paid day off.

Hello again,

Day one of the work from home directive has been fabulously boring.  Cats are all napping. I have had the pleasure of wearing exactly what I want for the third day in a row.  One good result.

First thing this morning, the management staff texted us and directed us to access our work email and install Microsoft Teams. We did that and have been chatting all day.

I don't know if the caseworkers have been given access to the system but clerical hasn't been. I'm not about to ask the others if Ms. CH and I are the only ones sitting around our houses, goofing off.

We were asked if we'd work from home and we both said yes.  Last I'd heard was that there was a conference call but what was said? No clue.

So here I sit.  Chatting with the ladies from the office, listening to Gunsmoke on SiriusXM Radio Classics, surfing the internet, blogging and watching the laughable current event press conference on television.

I am sure that I'll be advised with some course of action before 8:00 tomorrow morning but until that time, here I am goofing off.

If you have to go out, please be respectful of those who are required to work. To every worker you encounter, offer your gratitude.

In my family, my sister who works in town government is still working, youngest daughter doesn't work directly with the public and so far is still working, oldest daughter works inside an MGM resort. She has no idea of what is happening. She's not an MGM employee, she works for a store in the building.  The store's management says it's staying open but the hotel/casino facility is closing for at least 2 weeks.  We'll see how this plays out.

Have a pleasant Monday evening.

Heather.

Update!

Got an email telling us that half of the staff will be working from home and the other half will be in the office.  Many of us will be sitting in different locations to allow "social distancing." I'll be in my regular area. Gonna be interesting, I won't deny it.

I'll keep everyone posted.

See ya later.
