So... just curious Jake, are you still working at home?  I'm still fully remote until sometime in 2021.  I think it would be unfair to send my kids back to school when it's not safe for me, as an adult, to go back to work.

I've been working from home for the past 3 years or so :p but to your question, I have been regularly visiting customers for the past month and a half. My wife is also working from home, but she has the option to start going back to the office. We wanted to wait for that until the kids are in school - she is anxious to go back also.
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Our schools are going back full-time in September. Masks mandatory for grade 4 and up, optional for 3 and under. Full class sizes too... not sure how I feel about that. Relieved that I'll be able to work normalish hours but a little worried about the potential for an outbreak in the school.

We are remaining 100% virtual.  Additionally, the budget that passed caps funding to the 2019/20 school year level.  Which really sucks as we already enrolled and hired teachers for an increased student count.  And they have announced there will be deferments in the payments from the state.  I would recommend that all you parents really look at your school's budgets and funding.  Not only do we have a pandemic but there is a recession as well and neither of those are good for schools.

On the positive side of things, the 4-hour all-staff yearly kickoff is now a 1-hour online meeting and all the big stuff was done as pre-recorded videos which they sent out Friday.  Which means I got to skip over a lot of the bullshit (IMO) and speed up the slow talkers.

Will miss the free carbs though.

I ended up getting tested yesterday because I caught some sort of upper respiratory thing over the weekend. Based on how I'm feeling right now, I think it was something else, but hoping to get results by Thursday.

Nope. It's an estimated 3-5 day turnaround so maybe tomorrow or Saturday?

Like I have a sinus infection LOL. Crappy but probably not as crappy as I would be if it was COVID. They actually just called. It's negative.
