Surprise work from home day!

[dorchadas]

I got dressed for nothing.

The AMA was supposed to start working from home on Tuesday, but this morning I got a text from my boss asking me if I had been able to log on. I said I had, and she called me and told me the section manager had told everyone to stay home if they could and to test if I could still log on. After a couple problems, I managed to log on and now I'm sitting at home remoted into work and doing my job.

I went to bed at midnight last night and woke up at 4 a.m. and despite everything, I was totally unable to get back to sleep. So while I'm having a bit of a hard time concentrating on work, I'm pretty sure most of it is that I'm just sleepy. It's actually a lot easier than normal for me to work continuously for longer periods of time, and I don't feel like I have to constantly drink water like I do when I'm at the office. But this is day one, and whether that will be true over a longer period of time, I don't know. I'll have to see.

Alright, back to work.

Edit: Just got an email--work from home at least through April 3rd.

A sigh of relief that you can work remotely for a little while.

I, too, find it easier to work continuously at home, but I seem to get interrupted just as much as I did in the office, it’s just now they’re digital interruptions instead of people coming up to my desk.

I'm terrible at working from home! I hope it goes well for you, wishing you the best <3

I'm like helvetica. I've tried to study today at home as our classes were cancelled and libraries aren't open, but... eh. I'm not getting much done. ^^; As for work, I work at a bookstore, so remote working isn't a possibility. We'll probably close too at some point, though...
But anyways, great that you can (in all meanings of the word) work from home. I hope it continues going well for you... and that you'll sleep better.
