    Traveling back tomorrow. All gyms, multipurpose rooms etc are closed.

    Might get stuck up there and get some OT out of it though, recoup some lost funds from my LA trip that I cancelled haha. Should be an interesting shift.
    @bruceod Just got word from my brother that he is driving up on his own so we will have access to a truck to crash the security gate and escape if need be lol.
    Looking around
    Wondering what became
    Of what I once knew

    I thought that Calgary would have been better prepared for WFH arrangements after the floods.

    I'm living in San Francisco, and my employer has been on top of this issue. We are on week three of a formal work at home policy, all employees have laptops, and most services can be accessed via BeyondCorp and/or over a traditional VPN connection, Google Hangouts is integrated with all meetings by default, and we are getting a $500 bonus to help with the added expenses of working at home. I highly recommend moving down to the States if you are sitting on the fence about it.

    Starting to 'work from home' today... but since I am in the office service business... it basically means not working.

    Probably for the best, Bow valley is a ghost town. All seats removed from the food court and the only vendors open are Tims, Analog and A&W. Everything else is shuttered.

    How is the connectivity..?
    We have been asked to stay away from conference calls and video as our VPN can't handle it yet.
    It was flawless... might depend on your company more than Teams itself though.

    We don't usually do video anyways since we are mostly presenting/viewing ppt decks.

    Went there yesterday to grab some stuff, place was dead, granted I only went to one of the floors. I did notice the cleaners were still working though.

    We aren’t allowed having more than 6 people physically in the office for any reason. They have a tracker setup for if people have to go in to either pick things up or work on physical files / equipment.

    Kinda makes sense though. How often do those tables/chairs get cleaned? People constantly sit, spill stuff, eat with their mouths opens, etc.... Especially kids touching everything in sight.

    It's a way for the places to stay open without violating any of the maximum occupancy rules now. Started with the coffee shops. Take away the chairs so that people can't stick around and gather, and you can still stay open as a "take out" place. Also obviously reduces chances of people gathering and coughing on each other.

    Was at Costco last night. All the seats gone but yet people were crowded along the wall shelf shoulder to shoulder. They should just shut the food kiosk down. Fuck people are dumb.

    Home office is set up. Both wife and I are WFH, but have only one office desk. Have a USB docking station set up with the monitor and mouse. We have a desk schedule that should give each of us several hours of dedicated desk time each day. Also scheduled an hour workout each day, and have the kids academic schedules too.
    It's a complex thing, but it might work.

    Very lucky my work isn't something that takes more than a few hours of desk time per day.

    Are you on a VPN where all your internet traffic goes through?
    Yes. Day 3 of teams meetings, works ok but sometimes my computer binds up when doing other tasks while on a teams meeting and my sound/video freezes

    Have made the unfortunate discovery that one of our neighbors absolutely pounds their music all day, every day. Detached houses with decent separation and can hear it through our walls. Yay.
