So, I worked from home all week. Gave up on working from the RV and evicted the kids from my office in the house. Surprisingly, the didn't fight me much at all. With most of my team working in San Jose while I work in Utah, working from home hasn't changed things all that much for me. I spend about half my day in Video Conferences. Which really wasn't that much different than my day before. I started using my iPad as a dedicated VC device and really like it. Plus, my kids are doing really well with taking their classes online. Of course, it only takes them about 2 hours to finish their assignments and then they pretty much get unlimited video game time until I finish my day... They'll get tired of it before this is over, but I'll take the well behaved kids while I can.
This week I realized how blessed I am to have my family. WFH isn't much fun, but I'm not alone. Last night my wife told me she's actually enjoying the extra family time. We feel close as a family and our kids are connecting with us in ways they usually don't.
In my 1:1 meetings with my team they all linger and want to chat longer than they ever did when working in the office. Monday I've scheduled virtual breakroom time with the guys that sit near me in Utah. This group of friends would walk to the beakroom for a short break in the mornings and afternoons most days. I also scheduled a video lunch for the whole team to just chat and give updates while we take our lunch break. Work conversation will be discouraged in both meetings. I figure we take at least an hour each day socializing together when we work in the office. We should try to maintain that social connection while we can't be together in person.
As far as the shave goes, I'm happy to report that the Super Pro blade gets smoother with a few uses. Save 5 was really nice. Very smooth with a BBS finish. The Gold Label soap is good. I admit there are others like like a lot better, but it's nice to have for variety.

I thought WFH would mean making a few more brush handles and plating more razors. So far, any extra time I've gained has been consumed by extra time with my family.
We have a lot to be thankful for even with a mountain of trials at our doorstep, life is still good.
Everyone stay safe and healthy out there.
