Unexpected challenge of the work from home life: my daughter made cookies last night, and I just ate them for breakfast. Cookies are NOT breakfast.
More unexpected challenges: Noticed last night that a kid was still in his PJ’s from the morning. I noticed the same thing the previous day. Same kid. Same PJ’s. Will have to develop strategy for this.
I miss my barber.
Unexpected challenge of working from home: IT Department spends most if its time playing XBox, texting its friends and sleeping until 11. Convening working group to reincentivize team leader.
Unexpected benefit of #WFH: I get back the nearly 2 hours everyday I spent in traffic. Used the extra time to watch YouTube video on clogged dishwasher drains.
Watched expert video. Disassembled, cleared, cleaned dishwasher over 2 hours. No noticeable effect on drain. Currently sourcing better dishwasher repair videos.
Daughter’s baking binge continues. This morning’s question: are cupcakes breakfast? They’re lemon, if that helps answer it. 
Battle of the dishwasher continues. Last night I tried baking soda, vinegar and boiling water down the washer drain. Smelled great! Didn’t work.
This morning: Cable TV out. Makes #WFH slightly more difficult when you work ... in Cable TV. My efforts with gear equally as successful as with dishwasher. Trying new tactic. Does baking soda, vinegar and boiling water work on routers?
All this #WFH has exhausted the dog. May have to put on a second shift.
Realized I have not carried a wallet in my pocket in three weeks. I don’t miss it. Also realized I forgot to shower yesterday.
But I also painted a banister, so it all balances out.
Anybody know how to work one of these?
Success! I got exactly the 1930’s state prison look I was trying for.
Assume dishwasher dead.
Started the car for the first time in three weeks. It works! And I remembered how to drive. It’s just like riding a bike.
Delivery guys just dropped off our family’s new Peleton bike. Experienced riders, help me out: how long until I can start hanging laundry on it? #WFH
Decided to outsource all homeschooling today to the NYT for Kids section. Great stuff from them, again. #WFH
I am enormously proud of my kids- stiff upper lips across the board through everything, limited fighting, etc. But then this family comes along to make me realize we really aren’t making the most out of all this #WFH. We’ll have to step up our game: pjmedia.com/lifestyle/stop…
I am developing a hate/hate relationship with Zoom.
This - from my former boss @harrispolitico - matches my mood on this rainy, socially distanced Thursday: “In short: What if we’re screwed?” google.com/amp/s/www.poli…
Beyond general #WFH gloominess, I do agree with Harris’ pessimistic conclusion that (with the exception of about a year of real national unity after 9-11) the calamities of 21st Century America have done more damage than healing to the social fabric.
Just realized I have not gotten a speed camera ticket since February. Now contemplating what to do with this unexpected windfall.
