I wish. The first couple of months of the lockdown I was working -3- jobs. I work in a network operations center so of course all of us were considered essential personnel and required to continue working, especially the "data controllers" who staff the NOC monitoring things keeping it all working 24/7. Only going into the shelter-in-place order we'd just had one controller retire, and at the same time the backup contoller from the back office that we usually would have swapped in to cover that position went on medical leave for appendicitis .. and then stayed out for two more months after the surgery due to diabetes-related complications. So I got to do my job, his job, and the retired controller's realtime support job. Then after a couple weeks of absolute madness while everyone else was getting settled into the working from home thing we managed to hire a new guy and get him badged up and background-checked well enough to allow him access to the equipment. Then I got to put on my teacher's hat and train him up on top of the rest. Oh, and did I mention I got a new boss somewhere in all that. Yep. Never rains but it pours. It is only in the past few weeks that I've even been able to start working from home myself. Still no time to relax however. We've got a major event to support next week on the 14th and then another one on the 30th. Time to focus? I think I've heard about that somewhere. Some mythical kind of creature, right? Like unicorns maybe, or Sasquatch.
