hey rick
good to hear that you are adjusting. our office has been using Microsoft Teams to do meetings and chats. in addition our manager reached out everyday to ask how we're doing and he set up a group in case anyone was needing something, we could all help out.
one thing i've noticed is i have a hard time with what day it is. all day yesterday i thought it was Thursday and i spent half the morning thinking it was Friday
it'll get better, not sure exactly when, but it will.
hang in there

we are using Slack / and our cell phones to talk between each other. i have tried to treat this like i was going to work getting up / getting dressed and treating it like i had to go to the office. So take care molly

We did have At Home Agents, but for Privacy reasons Audit doesn't like it. But we will see.

i can see why In your type of work. so maybe working from home will be the new normal.

That's one of the recommendations for remaining productive:  keep your normal schedule, dress like you would for the office, etc.  Still finding that it's harder to be productive in the late afternoon.

We've been using Trillion -- which is the same thing we use when we're at the University, as the 4 of us have 3 different offices on 2 different floors.

Most of you know i do not believe in God or religion, but there are good things to be find in the Bible. Maybe this will bring a little peace:

thanks for this tim
the situation changes rapidly, and sometimes it's hard not to worry
but that does no good
we're taking it a day at a time, making sure we're doing what we need to do to stay healthy, and safe
 

Spoiler

although, with all 5 of us and the 2 dogs home all the time, we're learning that our house is smaller than we thought it was  

 

 

good night Sirs, good night everyone,
didn't realize how late it was  
i'm off to bed 
rest well

tim once told me to write bravely, and Mike once told me to write something outside my comfort zone. Well, I'm about to step so far outside my comfort zone, it could be nightmare inducing.

So, anyone know something about Kimbaku-bi?

 

EDIT: So my knowledge of it is limited to Wikipedia.

do you mean kinbaku-bi?  Japanese bondage?  Yes, i know of it ... seen demos.

Lyssa knows more than i .. not sure if she practices it herself or just knows people who do. It can be very beautiful.

Yes, that's it. Me and my damn typos.

Why?  it's a beautiful art form within the BDSM world certainly. Others, i suppose could see it also. Usually they don't.

Didn’t know what it was, so I was going to ask Mr. Google. I still may, but now I at lest know what it is. Thanks, tim.

@Brayon You write very well, so I’m sure your new venture will be well worth reading. 

[Mikiesboy]

Right now within our world of ugly and worry it can be hard to see beauty. But it is there. We went for a walk and it was wonderful to see all the birds around that normally are not because of their fear of us. Think of how quickly we see the world heal itself when we stop polluting it. One would hope this may change things ... i hope it will change some things.

 

In the meantime look for the small bits of beauty around you.

good morning tim. thank you for the reminder to be mindful 💛

one of the benefits of working from home is that i can hear the birds, see the sky & feel the breeze. it's been a wonderful change!

It is a skill … an art form

I do think it looks visually appealing, the knot work, etc. Current story I'm writing, I'm planing on using it, and just need more information. Want to do it justice and not half-ass.

I thought you’d appreciate this happened in Newfoundland.

I just read a plethora of info on shibari vs kinbaku and it was fascinating to learn.  Thanks for broadening my horizon DIC

It’s raining, and yet, the Cardinal still sings. A distant relative of Bing Crosby, perhaps? 🤔
