Plague report – April 1, 2020

Yours Truly, in the front yard.

Good morning, stay-at-homers! A number of friends from my old home town, Toronto, have been asking how we’re doing down here in Tampa, and what our days are like. I thought I’d post a couple of reports with photos, starting with this one.

Other seasoned remote workers may say that they work just fine in their pajamas, but I prefer to dress up as if I was still living in the “before times”. Luckily for me, I work in tech, so wearing an aloha shirt, jeans, and deck shoes, isn’t just dressed for work — some techies might assume I was dressing for a job interview.

We do have an indoor room designated as the home office. Anitra uses it during the day, and I use it in the evening to work on non-day-job projects. During the day, my work for the day job — building Lilypad’s mobile app — happens on the office that I’ve set up on our screened-in front porch. I get lots of light, enjoy the cognitive benefits of being around our yard’s greenery, and even get to say “hi” to the neighbours from a safe distance as they go about getting their exercise or walking their dogs.

Here}s the view from my chair, panning from left to right. (Yes, you might be able to make out what’s on my screens, but none of them are displaying anything sensitive in these photos.)
