Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 32 & 33

April 17, 2020 I thought my Friday will be a slow day after my weekly check-in with my boss at 8:30 am. Was I sooo wrong! One call after the other, one follow up after another. Some crisis management and lesson in negotiating skills in a couple of conference calls. I didn’t get to have…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Days 32 & 33

Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 29 & 30

April 13, 2020 Monday blues. It started slow for me, feeling beat after all the weekend physical activities. Can’t believe I made 10,000+ steps yesterday! Walked up and down our neighborhood circle and then back to the house for some yard work. It is possible to have some accomplishments while sheltered-in-place! Somehow, I’m beginning to…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 29 & 30

Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 26, 27 & 28

April 10 & 11, 2020 Friday was just another work day. I was infront of my computer the whole day and had back pain at the end of it. Highlight was Instacart finally delivering my orders from Sprouts and Safeway. I didn’t want to go out, line up and be stressed out, so I just…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 26, 27 & 28

Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 24 & 25

April 8, 2020 I had a hard time getting up today. For some reason, I’m physically tired though I haven’t been doing much except working infront of my computer most days. Anyway, I still had to get up. I made the mistake of reading an article published in the The New Yorker daily. It was…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 24 & 25

Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 18

Somehow time is flying despite going nowhere these days. Work continues to take majority of my regular days. I had a false impression when the shelter-in-place order was announced that at least I would be able to do more personal things but alas, I have not really made much progress in this direction. No complaints…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 18

Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 13 & 14

March 28, 2020 Saturday was a blur. Actually more like EXHAUSTING! Our cleaning ladies, H & A, are supposed to be here to help keep the house in order but because we didn’t want to take a chance and also for their own and their family’s sake, we asked them not to come. Realizing that…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 13 & 14

Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 12

TGIF would be my usual greeting to my colleagues if I were in the office today and would be looking forward to the weekend, whether doing something fun outdoors, running errands or catching up with friends and family over a drink or a meal. Then when I get home, I’d be so relieved that the…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 12

Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 10

I can’t believe it’s been ten days since I’ve been working from home and not meeting with anyone face-to-face. The virtual happy hour chat with my ladies golf group – Golfbags – certainly helped eased the feeling of being confined. I’m glad to “see” everyone in good spirits (no pun intended) and to know that…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 10

Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 9

My phone alarm didn’t go off this morning! I thought I set it up last night but apparently didn’t or it went off and I pressed the stop button instead of snooze. I must be physically tired. I forgot to mention that while working from home, I also try to do some house work aside…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 9

Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 2

March 17, 2020 First official day of being sheltered-in-place. Ironically, today is supposed to be the day we do a company-wide work-from-home test but we got overran by events. Tired as I was last night, I had to wake up and act as if I am going to the office. I’m a seasoned remote worker…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 2
