So, they sent us to work from home for the first two weeks of January. We were originally scheduled to return to the office next Tuesday after MLK Day.

As a quick aside, I'm re-watching all of the Jodi's Doctor Who episodes, since I've only seen her first season and nothing else, and decided to start back at the beginning of her run. As such, I ( Read more... )

I'm both working and not working today and tomorrow.

I have off technically from both contracts and holiday pay coming, but I still have at least 4 hours of work remaining for one contract (I decided to go home early Wed) and a few hours to do for another contract that could technically wait until next week, but I don't really want to put it off.

I'm sill working the oil & gas company contract through Nov 19. My RH "team" told them that since we're now within the 2-week notice date, they can't give me an answer on an extension until Friday, and they've already identified my next project to begin Nov 22, they are now going to have to stick with the Nov 19 end date.

I FINALLY got used to the look of Gmail Hangouts.

At work I have to figure out what random checks that have been deposited are for and code them for the accounting system. Most are easy, some require a little digging, and every so often I get a weird one.

"Good Morning!

I left a $50 check on your desk yesterday from [sender]. Long story short, I accidentally sold him a doghouse that was already sold ( Read more... )

This time last year I hit Hong Kong Market with a friend and dodged kids throwing poppers on the floor in celebration of Lunar New Year - Rat. Some folks were beginning to wear face masks. We were not yet wearing masks ourselves.

A few weeks later, another friend and I went to Rockfish Grill for their Mardi Gras specials. We decided we needed to do ( Read more... )

My nephews are feeling fine, and the middle one is back at school and passing his classes again, unlike in the fall when he could only be bothered enough to wake up and check in to class and then fall back asleep on his bed.

My dad was sick, and now he's feeling better. The same with my sister and her boyfriend.

My mom is still pretty sick and still ( Read more... )

So, I posted about my last day of 2020.
( How about what happened after that? )
