As I write this, many, many people across the nation and around the global are out of work. Due the COVID-19 global pandemic and the social distancing measures enacted, jobs that required face-to-face or on-site interaction have been put on hold.
Some consequences are a layoff of work forces from companies affected by social distancing or furloughs for employees until circumstances change.
I decided to give you a glimpse into my world and how my circumstances have changed. First and foremost, though, I will say that I’m am blessed to be in the position I am and that if not for technology the situation would be different.
A couple of items to note – I work in the financial services industry and I normally have a morning commute of 1 hr 15 minutes and an evening commute of 1 and half hours.
This, as many of you may have experienced, is fairly draining on a week in week out basis. Not only do you need to wake up that much earlier to make it to work on time, but the evening is so much more compressed.
Now, my wife is an assistant principal and has to stay later after school has let out. Add in our two kids and their after school activities (dance, sports) and you get a few minutes for dinner before bedtime.
With our city and county under stay-at-home orders my company is working fully remote. So with that, my commute has been shortened greatly!
So here’s a short look at my short commute. I hope this give everyone a chuckle or two to keep their minds off the stressful events.
Unfortunately, some of my edits were removed from the video so it’s a bit shorter than I originally made it. Oh well, it’s a good lesson to learn from even in these changing circumstances.
Stay safe my friends!!
