Stories of #WFH – 9

Working from home is the new normal for many workers in all industries. Finding the balance isn't always easy when your home life and work life suddenly become one. At Bay Cities we want to highlight the stories of our team members as they #WFH. Read how Stephanie, who works in our IT department, is adapting to the change and what her biggest take away of #WFH.

What is your #WFH routine?

Wake up to my alarm, I can probably sleep all day if I do not set an alarm. My wife leaves around the time I wake up. I typically give her a sleepy goodbye kiss and reminder her to take her lunch.

I prepare for the day and tidy up my workstation – I like to work clutter free.

During my lunch, I walk my dog Frida around the neighborhood. When we get back, she likes to sit on my lap while on the computer.

 What is your favorite part about #WFH?

My new and improved cooking skills.

What is the most challenging part about #WFH?

Dressing the part – I have been wearing lots of yoga pants.

What are you reading?

“Don’t Stop Dancing,” by Eric Anderson. I met Eric years ago, in a club in Vegas. He was in a wheelchair and we instantly connected for our love of dancing! Years later we kept in touch and to my surprise… Eric recently wrote a book about his experience on loss and how he found light over darkness. I recommend reading his story, especially during today’s pandemic. It is a reminder to live every moment to the fullest.

What are you watching?

I was a bit behind on the latest shows but finally finished Stranger Things III. This inspired me to pick up sketching again. I am currently working on sketching a “Demogorgon”.

How are you staying fit?

I have tried some workout YouTube videos, but mostly walking/jogging around with Frida. Now that trails have re-opened, I am excited to include hiking to my routine.

What is your socializing strategy?

STRANGER DANGER – and virtual hour with friends.

How do you buy necessities?

Online shopping and grocery shopping every other week.

What is your biggest take away from #WFH?

When the world is constantly changing, it is important to stay positive. I practice looking for the good and taking in moments to appreciate the little things.
