| Working from home during COVID-19 | July 20, 2020 - 3:10pm |
COVID-19 has changed a lot of aspects of many people's lives. It has impacted us all in one way or another and for me, the biggest change has been working on the Vital Signs for The View from 2117 project from home. Over the last several months I have experienced the positives and negatives that come with working at home. The first positive is that I have become an expert at a little program called Zoom. Zoom has made the transition to meeting with other project members seamless. If you had asked me what Zoom was a couple of months ago, I would have had no idea what you were talking about. |
