Weeks #19 to #21: I had 9.5 holidays within 15 working days. Holidays are always too short, but this time much too short and much too often interrupted. In between we had three family birthday parties, the first personal meeting with external parties (which was really strange after twelve weeks working from home and six weeks in the office without any personal external contact) and a trip to the Tegernsee, the Oberallgäu and to Austria in the Bregenzerwald and the Kleinwalsertal.

Week #17: It is still a real challenge, but compared to what is going on in other countries (UK, USA) or has been going on at other times (select a war of choice), it is a walk in the drizzle.

Zusammen mit Kind #2 haben ich die Leuchten im Büro installiert. Bei unserer Stahlbetondecke aus den 60ern ist das ein Abenteuer. Wir waren sehr froh, dass die Löcher für die Seile gepasst haben. Es sollte nur niemand unter den Baldachin und die kleine quadratische Lampe schauen.
What I’ve learned during the Corona Crisis
Don’t let the water run while washing your hands. It is a total waste and you wash your hands more properly.
My children can cook really well. They really like it. But they will never learn how to do the dishes without moaning.
Secretaries can work from home. Associates can work from home. Busines Professionals can work from home. Not that I ever doubted it, but now we have the proof.
For video-conferencing 9+1 participants is the maximum number for coffee talks and 4+1 is the maximum number for real work.
Germans will never learn how to queue properly.
To be continued.

Week #6: I survived the sixth week of working from home because of the Corona virus pandemic. The work volume and intensity remain high. It seems to me that we communicate much more than if we were not working from home. To the list of communication tools this week we add the good old GoToMeeting, BlueJeans (InterCall) and StarLeaf (never heard of before). If my kids were smaller they would think I was a phone/video operator.

Week #5: I survived the fifth week of working from home because of the corona-virus pandemic. Working? Well, first were the Easter holidays, then I had the rest of the week off at home. As planned we did a culinary tour of Italy, with Prosecco, Vitello Tonato, Pizza, Carpaccio, Spaghetti, Seafood Salad, Gnocchi, Lugana, grilled Scampi, Gorgonzola, Espresso, Limoncello and many other delicacies.

Week #4: I survived the fourth week of working from home due to the corona-virus pandemic. But it was never so close. Queuing Wednesday evening in front of the supermarket, waiting with 1.5 m distance to the others willing to buy. I didn’t move, but he drove hard into me with his shopping trolley. Germans will never learn how to queue properly.

Week #3: I survived the second and third week of working from home due to the corona-virus pandemic. Even better, my children survived as well. I always thought, that we have enough computers, enough bandwidth and enough rooms, desks and chairs for my wife, the three children and myself. Since they started to send work packages for home-schooling over their online service (which luckily enough existed since ages), chat, send done work back and so on I realised that we could be better equiped. After Netflix (since ages) and Apple TV+ (since February for 12 free months) we added Disney+ (since Tuesday for six free months) which caused bandwidth issues immediately in the afternoon.
