Real motivator he was. Asshole failed upward his whole life so I guess it worked for him.

When I was in the office, a full work week was 37.5hrs. I haven't figured it out exactly, but I bet I'm up to 45+ hrs/wk or slightly more since working from home. It's too easy to get back to work while dinner cooks or pop into the dining room for an hour and finish up something. If I think of something that needs fixing, why not log in and do it right then, etc.

I'm seeing all these people in our neighborhood getting home projects accomplished, out for a jog or 'social distancing' from neighbors while they hollar back/forth over their front yards or down their driveways. On the other hand, both my husband and I are very thankful that we are in positions within IT and can work full time from home.

Just haven't hit on a balance yet. I figure we're here for at least another month, most likely more.

On Fridays, my co-workers hold a virtual game/happy hour. I'm waiting for someone to suggest the online version of Cards Against Humanity. That should be fun!

AND ON THAT NOTE, If any of you know of some fun group games to play online, let me know!
