What a great way to start the day. This morning I went up the stairs to our photo-studio and home office to find my lovely wife had left little hearts strewn across my keyboard and desk. We've been together for over 30 years and married for 25. It's not enough to tell someone you love them. You need to show it. I'm lucky enough to live with a talented artist. Magda always finds creative ways to express her feelings.
We're always doing things like this, little gestures that bring a smile and a warm feeling.
As we face the reality of living through these extraordinary times with Covid-19, don't forget to show your love, thoughtfulness and kindness to your nearest and dearest.
I'm lucky enough to be allowed to work from home three days a week. Piper (7) and Lily (4) wanted to play outside so I moved to a suitable location where I could keep an eye on them.
I had a quick 30-minute meeting this morning on Zoom in which I tried to make myself presentable without actually getting ready. Then I had an hour and a half to do a yoga class and get ready for the day before teaching my first class. Not gonna lie. This schedule is suiting me just fine.

You know? Working from home (WFH) is really something, kinda hard to put into words, it comes with pros and cons though. Enough said, I will try to enjoy the rest of weekdays for sure.
Some of you might thinking what a flexible job i have, well all I've to tell you is, "OOOH HELL YES, MY ANKLE SPRAIN BADLY ... " It is really bad day last Saturday. I bet someone cursing me... It just happened so sudden, when i was reading sms text, on my way stepping down staircase, missed out one of the step and fell down. Immediately caused ankle sprain badly both left and right sides, it is ligament and cartilage injured terribly....
(Like pig feet if you could picture that)
Along wifey companied, she brought me to traditional chinese medical clinic, a chinese physician consulted my ankle problem. After couple conversations had made, he then started the acupuncture parts for about 20 minutes. He added that very unfortunate but yet lucky enough that i didn't have the message / rub at the very first attempt. That kinda session is always prohibited, always goes to acupuncture or electro-acupuncture to ensure it doesn't burden the injury. I then got my right ankle wrapped with chinese ointment heavily stench of course.
My direct superior quite understandable, he suggested working from home for this week just to avoid the further injure. Have the foot completely rest and less movement will be ideal. My brain and both hands and fingers shouldn't be affecting my daily BAU (Business As Usual) daily tasks. I always wonder how people working from home, was it fun? Well, i can tell you it isnt fun at all, given that my current situation. The only pros, i dont need to travel, i have a short distance for attending the nature calls, and lastly i dont need to dress up nicely. Where cons, the internet connection is far way beyond i could imagine, given the current infrastructure setup, my vDesktop sitting at US, sluggish and lagging is always my biggest challenge.
On further note, i learned the way on how a mac client remote in citrix environment. I encountered couple things, and i managed to solve it especially the dual-screen resolution, the older ICA client version could jeopardize my patience when i am talking 2 monitors perspective. How will you tackle 1440 x 900 and 1280 x 1024 issues on both mac mixture with DELL screens. I'd never learn till i faced it myself, i am grateful i had the opportunity to experience all these stumbling block, but I am enjoying it...
I had 2 with those acupuncture and electro-acupuncture sessions, this coming Saturday morning will seeing another chinese physician at Raffles Hospital. Hopefully he will able to shorten my painful days.

Glossy versus non-glossy, my Macbook vs work Macbook.
Decided to work from home today, wish I hadn't bothered as it's taken me all day so far to get connectivity issues resolved, whilst at the same time getting project work done.
I didn't realise for instance that my work Macbook Pro doesn't have Wireless N despite it looking near identical to mine, that was one hurdle. I've also had to revert the router to wireless B/G/N to get my phone to connect and upload this image. That was after I finally remembered the password for the router...
I hate wireless and networking.

Working from home for now, I’m drinking loads more herbal teas, which we keep in the top basket, so I’m digging in there over and over every day.

11/365 Occasionally Rowan jumps onto my laptop, dons my headset and plays me, making up callsz After discussing open purchase orders, she signed off with a lovely, “great talking to you today!” - she’s a very friendly version of me My favourites are when she gets stern - sometimes, “no, that is not acceptable.”

The extreme cold took its toll on my increasingly run-down office building today, crashing the air handlers and making the labs uninhabitable. Since I work in a research building, that meant the building had to be shut down. (Several other buildings on the site had the same problem.) So we were evacuated from our offices at about 10:45 in the morning, and were sent to the cafeteria to wait for further word. Over two hours later we were told to get our computers and find "alternate work arrangements" for the rest of the day. Sigh. I hate working from home. I don't like having work happen while I'm in my "sitting on the couch" mode (and it's not like I'm not going to sit on the couch in pajamas if I'm home, right?), and I don't like not having a buffer between the end of my workday and being at home, and for some reason filling downtime with random internet stuff seems fine when I'm at the office but makes me feel guilty when I'm home. So I had a not-so-thrilled afternoon of working on the couch, after a wasting-my-time morning of waiting in the cafeteria to be told what to do next. At least it's not like the last time we got an "everybody evacuate the building right now!" announcement -- that time there was asbestos in the building and they didn't let us back in for a month. At worst I think I'm looking at one more day of this.
