Does Banging Your Head Burn Calories?
I'm not talking the fun kind either where there's hard rock music involved and you have a neckache the next day and curse your age. If I overheard one more excuse from the HOA minion, I was going to absolutely lose my shite. He's the kind of person who will sell water to a drowning man and I felt like that was the scenario I was listening to. I heard him reference our window twice when explaining stuff away to the Mr and on the second mention, I fired off an email to the people who installed our windows in 2019 telling them the situation, that they keep trying to blame the window and do they come out to inspect under their warranty. I wanted to at least get that ball rolling. I finally had enough and went out front and asked 'where we were' on things. Again, he's refusing to replace or check under the siding (where the subfloor would be). He thinks he may have found the issue with our downstairs wall and is looking to patch up a huge chasm the ...
Let the permanent telework begin as far as I'm concerned! Can't wait to work from Tahiti!
ReplyDeleteSeriously people - how do you use someone else's desk?! It made sense pre-pandemic when someone swiped my traveler desk because I had nothing on it but this???
ReplyDeleteAnyway, my current organization is on permanent remote with potential to gather as a group infrequently once it becomes safer. I was working most days from home anyway and I prefer it.
I had to laugh at your husband's remark - we are looking at working for a week at a campground in the Florida Keys!
ReplyDeleteI took a new job during the pandemic which is 100% remote - my company is hundreds of miles away! I've been in twice and I hope that the team will try to gather a couple of times per year. But I have worked at the beach, the mountains, at home, etc. I love the flexibility! There are a few things I miss, but overall I'm good!
With the nature of my job, it's been all hands on deck live and in person.
ReplyDeleteI am a teacher, and the only time I worked from home was from the end of March 2020-May 2020 during the beginning of the Pandemic. After Summer break that year, we have been teaching in person 5 days a week. No online learning for my students. It has been all in person.
ReplyDeleteMy school was remote spring of 2020, but went back in person in August. We had a few times where we were sent home for a week or so b/c teachers had to quarantine and we didn't have enough subs. Primarily though, we've been in person all the time since then.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently doing two weeks in the office and two weeks at home, so that the office building is only at about 50% capacity if you work in a cubicle. If you have a office, you are 100% in the office. We worked from home full time from spring 2020 to winter 2020. They sent us back 50% a couple of times and then when case numbers spiked they sent us back to work from home full time. In the last 20 months I have probably worked about 10 weeks in the office. Once everyone is back in the office full time then they are planning on a hybrid work trial where we work from the office Tuesday to Thursday and from home on Mondays and Fridays.
ReplyDeleteI've been wfh since 3/13/2020. My company did nothing to make our transition easier. There is no talk about returning but they have turned down my request to move out of state. Kind of silly as I barely worked with anyone in my office and spent most of my time on calls with others around the world. I'm trying to decide if I risk it and give a friend's address and escape Illinois and the high taxes.
ReplyDeleteFunny part is I took this position at a reduced salary because of the short commute!
I have several friends who have moved from IL due to the high taxes so I don't blame you there! (That's totally ridiculous about not letting you move. SO many people have just moved and let them deal with it or just found a new job when they found out. I wish we had that kind of gonads but...LOL)
DeleteJust wanted to let you know, for some reason a bunch of your comments went to spam and I didn't catch it. Grrrr!
