2:51 It's almost a wrap for E-Learning Day 1. What's really been weird is watching the steady stream of cars driving up to the high school gym in drive-thru style while some staff member delivers a big bag of "stuff". The "stuff" was the content of the student lockers being picked up by a parent or student. That's one I've never seen before.
I did learn that I may not be able to expect to grade papers during my 10-3 timeframe. I only was able to score one paper, and I legitimately was in front of my Chromebook pretty much the whole day checking on things and answering emails. Hopefully, this process will get more streamlined, so there is time for grading papers.
This was a long day, but an important day. We are now extended for closure at District 300 along with all other schools until April 30. With this extension, we might as well just finish the school year online. It would be more of a hassle to return to school. If we just plan for the rest of the school year, it will be a simpler process.
I think I have now become addicted on online free slot play. I'm the same way at the casino, but this method doesn't cost me any money to see how the games work! I'm now just going to have to manage my time better.
Things for today

Jay's NEW NORMAL WORK DAY SCHEDULE (in development)
In order to attempt to keep a sense of normalcy, I think I'm going to try to establish a 1:30 dismissal schedule to each day.
Prior to 10:00 a.m.
- wake-up, feed animals, make a cup of coffee, watch the morning news (usually around 6 a.m.)
- stretch and exercise (varies) and clean kitty litter
- weigh myself and enter weight in the Google spreadsheet
- check banking account online and make any changes needed to Google Spreadsheet
- shower, shave, and get dressed for the work day.
