I've had colds with worse symptoms than my one bout with Covid.

Yeah, that's about it. I've still got an occasional cough today, but this was less than a typical cold.

Up to? 5'9".

I feel like I wanted to be productive today at work, but I wasn’t. Have you ever loved your job but feel like you need to find a better environment? I work from home, but still. Like figuratively speaking, I need a better environment for my brain.

I've "worked" from home since 2007. Taking short breaks and varying the routine keeps me sane-ish.

Yea, I love working from home. I take breaks too, but I feel like I’m wasting my talents here. It’s just another Monday…

I love working from home.  Not having to commute is the biggest plus.  Being home with the critters is almost as big a plus.

Driving around Dallas is a freaking nightmare.  That and I used to have to fill up my car about every four working days.  Now it's more like every 4-6 weeks.

And not having to dress up and wear shoes...love it.

Set your career goal and work toward it. Even small advances add up. And always remember, "Illegitimi non carborundum."

I truly love love love working from home, but I think it’s my employer. But, maybe there is no perfect place.

I am lucky to have a great boss and I know that.  Sometimes her daughter pushes me a bit...as in she will tell/ask me to do something but only give me a vague hint of what she wants. She sort of starts in the middle...like I missed the first part of the assignment when it was discussed. I have to pull information out of her.  But my boss knows that and encourages me to ask all the questions I need to. The freedom I have and the appreciation I am shown is worth a whole lot.
