social distance diaries: Day 2

so this is my new normal.

6:30am wake up, coffee, don’t make the bed because the cats have taken over…

7am search for a foldable laptop/tray table because if this is my new normal, I need a better solution than working on my lap [I have a desk, but I need a dedicated work station for work brain]

8am sign on to work work work the chat service for the next two hours

9am get my ire up because local uni (NSU) is still letting students hang out in the library, where staff are required to work (local news is reporting that NSU has 6 COVID student cases and many more in the county)

9:50am try to explain to student that we don’t have hotspots for every student 😦 [in-need students were identified for first dibs]
