Have a Kick Off and. Regatta with a bunch of standard EM issues to look into. Reset reliability, cleaning switch stacks, connectors etc

Well I’ve been off all week and will start working from home starting Monday. So with my week off I’ve had a Monte Carlo and time warp sitting for a couple years. Finally sat down and studied schematics and got them both up and running. Now need the time to shop them

Well, I'll probably be at home for a couple of weeks, so except for playing with the dog I plan to finally fix the Space Station thats been sitting around broken for seven months.

And besides that, Im going through my collection of retro computers and thinking about preparing a smaller sale of some rather unusual hardware that Ive gathered during the years. No sale until all this other crap has passed though.

Despite everything going on, I'm actually kind of excited. Rain is also on the horizon for my area this coming week, so I can feel good about sequestering myself to the basement. My Addams Family has been awaiting re-assembly, and I have a Hulk, Taxi, and Surf Champ all waiting restoration.

In order, I've got a Baby Pac-Man to recap the monitor, Black Hole to shop and possibly troubleshoot, The Amazing Spider-Man to shop and possibly troubleshoot, Stardust to track down gremlins on, and an Aztec that needs to be shopped and gone through. Should be enough to keep me busy for a week or two.

My customer has decided everyone must still go in and if possible, negotiate a telework situation. One person is caring for her 80+ mother who just successfully completed cancer treatments about 2 weeks ago. So she's not coming in. Another is pregnant. Gone. Another's wife was deployed (she's a military nurse) to deal with the crisis, so he's watching the kids (who have no school for 3 weeks) alone. He's not coming in. Another is high risk for other reasons. She's gone. So I'm on the schedule every single day. EVERY single part of my and everyone else's job can be done via telework. I don't begrudge my team, but it's a pretty stupid management decision to have so many people end up travelling in to the office.

I was hoping to finally restore my TZ during all this. Guess not.
