Non Scale Victories This Week
During last night's LIIFT 4 Shoulders workout, I saw an improvement over last weeks shoulder presses. I was unable to do the 2nd and 3rd sets last week overhead after about 3-4 presses. My left shoulder would literally fall like I'd lost all muscle control with 10 lb weights. Yesterday I used the same 10 lbs and it wasn't until the 7th rep on the second set that I started to feel bad fatigue but pushed through. On the third set my shoulders were shot but I was still able to push overhead even if slower. I pushed to fatigue but didn't have that dangerous muscle drop I had before. The zinnias I grew from seed are mostly in full bloom and I took some pics before cutting some to put in a little vase.

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!
