Ah summertime...out of office messages, empty offices, long vacations, European colleagues on 4 week "leaves", sunshine, roadtrips, yardwork........you know the things you day dream about all year long when you're busy saving lives at your desk. In previous a life we would wait all year for summer.

Somewhere between having a child and full-time work from home job, I have learned to love fall and it's has nothing to do with pumpkin spice - I like my cereal, coffee and donuts plain as God intended! Virtual employees with kids wait all summer for this time of year now - back to school. 

I'm right there with you - it's August and it's still hot, but it might as well be fall because the kids are back in school! The house is quiet, my office door is OPEN and the network so far as been tolerable. There was a smell of productivity and focus today as I could hear myself think without the aid of noise cancelling headphones. I swear I heard the faints pings of Fortnite in the background today, but those should go away as I detox.

A few hours into the day with all the quiet and peacefulness my mind started to wander....
  • Would I ever see people again?
  • What's it like to travel?
  • What's it like to dress up in work clothes?
  • People still commute to work?
  • Can an adult re-learn socialization skills?
  • Have I lost everything interesting about me as I do laundry in-between another conference call? 
  • What's my son's XBOX password to play Fortnite?
