The Twenty Fifth Day of Isolation

Twenty Fifth Day – The ninth day of working from home. The workflow was as it should be. (The nephew wasn’t as distracting, nor were there any visitors). With the Teams audio issue fixed, the Virtual Office Meeting went without a hitch. The rest of the work day went without any trouble. I probably still need to focus some more (but that hasn’t been as much as a problem as it has been in past years. Still, if something is tedious, one’s mind wanders…)

Nothing else for today (not related to work anyway.)

Faith in a Crisis - 003

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ”
‘Thanks, LORD,’ she thought. It was encouraging, given the situation.

Quinn's Code - Cafe Geekdale - Part 4

Sandi arrived at her Language Arts class early, only to find that Quinn was already talking to Mr. O'Neill. 'Of course, her Language Arts class is first,” she thought. She hung back in the doorway and listened in on their conversation...


“So, you want the Freshmen to be able to perform at the opening night of the Coffee House?” Mr. O'Neill said.

“Yes. You are always going on about students maximizing their potential or whatever,” Quinn pointed out.

“That is a good point,” Mr. O'Neill conceded.

“So are the freshmen going to be able to perform at the opening night or not?” Quinn asked.

Mr. O'Neill stammered and cowered slightly before saying; “Yes, as well as the Juniors and Seniors, also any middle schoolers that are also interested.”

“Very good.”

“Thanks, Quinn,” Mr O'Neill said as she left.

Quinn noticed Sandi standing near the door as she left the room, but didn't give her any attention. 'Doesn't matter whether she was eavesdropping or not,' she thought.

After Quinn had gone, Sandi entered the room. “Mr. O'Neill, we need to talk,” she said, a little more forcefully than she had intended.

“What about, Sandi?”

“I heard about this Coffee House you are, like, setting up and apparently it's only for sophomores!” she said.

“Yeah, I have just talked to that new girl, Quinn Morgendorffer, about that. I have decided to throw it open for everyone!” Mr. O'Neill said.

“Excellent,” Sandi said, momentarily ignoring the teacher's mention of Quinn for the moment.

“Yes, it will be excellent for the students who participate,” Mr. O'Neill said.

“Of course,” Sandi said.

“Is There something else you want to talk about, Sandi?” Mr. O'Neill asked.

“Nothing,” Sandi said as she left the classroom, leaving the teacher confused. 'Let him be confused,'
