I never stopped working, and this Summer has been busier than ever. Mostly aircraft maintenance in the shop.

I shut down for 3 1/2 months (mid March to end of June), and am still trying to clear the backlog. Yesterday I put in14 hours. :x

I can't wait to retire this January.

Well, I work in IT for a hospital. Spent 2 months working from home then the boss said it's time to come back. The hospital is part of a large health system. Most of the IT staff that work for the health system look like they will be permanently working from home.

I work for UGE (Unnamed Government Entity). I am still working from home as is most of my staff (we manage a 4 time zone network, probably a lot like your hospital system). Before this, some of the upper managers had a dim view of telework and such, but things have gone so well that I will be curious about how this will play out in the future. Not that I am going to stick around to find out.

Despite being worked like a rented mule, the teleworking has been great. I had a bit of a commute before all this, but have been able to trade in commuting time to studying to take the Sport Pilot Written test!

I've been studying for my Sport CFI written test. I've had my PPL since 03/30/1977.

It is a large Three Letter Department, so I guess I should say I work for H.U.G.E :D :D
