March 21 Hunkered Down

PROMPT March 21st ▼

Write about good things that can come out of a bad situation. If you have an example from personal experience, please share!

I'm beginning to get into the groove of "shelter at home" and have worked 2 full days via remote access. Not much in the scheme of things, but I can report that in this horrible pandemic that has us all scrambling to protect ourselves and protect those around us, I've enjoyed working from home.

Admittedly, it is has provided me with some technical problems that after much frustration I worked out. But after the initial rush of phone calls that began the beginning of the week, the calls have slowed considerably. The system doesn't allow me to answer the phone directly. Clients are instructed in my greeting message to leave a message and I will call back. Consequently, I've been able to devote all of my attention to each caller without interruption and in the downtimes, I can go outside, work in the garden a little then come back in and take another caller. All of my clients were taken care of in a timely manner, I got a load of laundry done and spread some mulch in my garden. Quite a productive day and I didn't feel the fatigue I often feel after a day in the office.
