QUARANTINED!

April 5, 2020

Never would I have imagined that this would be my last day at the office!

On Thursday March 26th, we took inventory, boxed up my office equipment and packed it in my car. Two monitors, a “thin client” PC, multiple cables, and a new cell phone.

I drove home from the office that afternoon and I haven’t been back.

I’m all broken up about it.I still can’t believe I have the OPPORTUNITY to do my job from home.

Right away LB moved his belongings out of the home office and I moved mine in.

Quarantine Day ONE

I got up, got dressed, made coffee, walked into my office, and got to work.  At lunch time I sat out by the pool for 20 minutes of vitamin D, then went back to my hot pink office to work.  At 4:30 I logged off and started my weekend.

Friday evening was dedicated to LB and his favorite little pizzas.

Quarantine Week ONE

After spending one full week of  working from home, I’ve found that 1. I sleep more.  2. I eat less 3. I don’t say bad words.  4. I don’t care how I dress.

I never get lonely.He never leaves my side.

I’ve also found that my workload has become heavier.   Just recently my team made an adjustment down from six to four members.  This week there are three of us. Initially I thought it had something to do with the fact that we are one man down.  Now I think that is only part of it.

My theory is that the agents who are escalating issues aren’t concerned with the ridiculousness of their ticket submissions.

Nevertheless, I press on because I am ESSENTIAL.  Anyway that’s what I’ve heard.

 

In my off time I have tried to finish assignments for the class I’m trying to complete, keep up with treadmill time, and keep the house clean.

I’ve done a lot of cooking and experimenting with keto recipes.  Lots of cheese in keto recipes.

Also I’ve done some gardening and painted the laundry room.  Time is well managed and not wasted.

I don’t miss getting up at 5:30 AM and I don’t miss leaving my house an hour early to avoid traffic mishaps and I don’t miss much of anything.  Except shopping.

Welcome!


I’m Kim… and I love Pretty clothes, Pretty décor, Pretty days, and Pretty much anything that involves family and fun.  Growing up, My Mama told me more than once “Pretty is as Pretty does” …encouraging me to focus on the inner pretty girl, as she is the one that matters most.

Here on my blog, I’m sharing what I see as pretty.  Whether it be an outfit, an experience, an event, a memory or thought.  Hopefully I’ll share something that will be interesting, useful, or make you smile along the way.
