How to spend 10 days at home
How to spend 10 days at home and still get paid? It’s simple:
- Have a mask exemption
- Have two people test positive for Covid in a place that has 100 employees.
- Suddenly, everyone is paranoid.
Ergo, why I’ll be getting up at 10:00am in the morning…and work when I want…in my pajamas.
Since I have the capability to work from home, it just means I’ll save gasoline — which jumped from $1.90 per gallon to $3.14 in less than a year.
The person who gets the brunt of this is my “shadow.”
I asked for someone to shadow me on the job. Why?
If I don’t wake up tomorrow morning, there will be one person in this world who knows my job is a hot mess.
She gets to do all the leg work.
I type the reports. She prints them out, gets them signed, and scans them into the computer.
Did I mention there are more reports this month than at any other time of the year.
Yep. It’s allllll good!
Keep well keep smiling 😃😃

We have a strange system. The annual reports are due 3 months prior to the individuals “end of the year.” I’m doing the April annuals in January. 🙂
If you’re confused, don’t worry. It took me 3 days to figure it out.

I have a terrific shadow. Two months ago, I was so sick that I couldn’t get to work. She had to send out all the reports for the month. It gave her a birds-eye view of the mess that’s the last week of the month. She is awesome!

In the bank we would be reporting year end figures and having about 20 extra reports to complete compared to a normal month. Our deadlines were extremely strict with certain reports due on certain days. About now we would have two days left. I never missed a deadline in the 5 years of doing the job.

That’s incredible! You definitely understand what it’s like to have deadlines that you can’t miss.

Sounds love er ly. Since we’re doing a soft opening at my university next week, it means we’ll teach on line at least until the end of January. Maybe it will last all semester! Mind if I join you?

LOL! I doubt you’ll want to join me at this moment.
This is such a mess. I have parts of some forms, other parts of other forms, and just found out that one of the services didn’t throw away a 3 year old form. Aaarrrugh!
I hope my shadow doesn’t throw up her hands and leave.
