Mid-September
Sep. 17th, 2020 08:30 pmWell, another week down.
Some slight changes at work. A lot of supervisors applied to work from home, but not all of them have gotten to yet. And if they let any more supervisors work from home there won't be enough coverage at the office. So the solution they've come up with is to start a weekly rotation. They've assigned all of us to four groups (A B C and D) and each week one group will work entirely at the office, while the other three will continue their 2 home/3 on-site work schedules. Basically for one week per month I'm going to have a week where I don't get to work at home.
I think this is really fair, and I'm glad they chose to do a rotation rather than taking work-from-home away from some and giving it to others, or taking it away from all of us. This way we all get to enjoy it. I'm sad to have one week per month that I'm going to kinda dread, but I'm sure it won't be bad at all.
It was a really speedy work week for me...for whatever reason my tasks seemed to go very quickly.
Steno school is going all right, I'm on Chapter 31 which is words ending in -ly or -ty or -kly, etc, you get the idea. Sometimes I can't tell how well I'm doing but I just do my best and my teacher seems ok with that.
I'm taking it easy on cooking this week just to give myself a little break, but also because since I have Sunday off I have extra cooking plans coming up. We're still finding out what the air fryer is good for, so since I'll be hitting an Asian grocery on my extra day off I'm planning to make air fryer crab rangoon and Chinese-style spare ribs (you know those bright red, super chewy ribs you can get as an appetizer? Those). I'm not sure how it will got but wish me luck!
Although I'm not gardening, there's a lot going on in my little garden without my help.
The meyer lemons are really starting to turn yellow now. It's very interesting to see! They're changing color in a blotchy sort of way. Having lived most of my life in the northeast US, I have zero experience with growing citrus so I find this fascinating!
The vanilla orchid is absolutely insane. It has been raining every single day for about two weeks, and while some of my plants (like my poor thyme) are suffering from it, the vanilla is like YES PLEASE and has absolutely taken OFF. It is somewhere up in the treetops wraping itself around a branch. There are aerial roots appearing all over the place. I'm glad it's looking nice and strong now, because alhtough winters in Florida are mild one good freeze could kill this plant. Let's hope that doesn't happen. I would love to try for flowers next year.
