@mcd_611 Miss you already! 💔

@Old_dusty_ @mcd_611 @TCNoel @TLJKelly @ibarrette_ng @drsoup09 @TRDaSylva @mdopinheiro @sanjahf It’s been exactly a year since I gave up on Twitter, but I’ll still pop in to hear from y’all.

[Heather Dee @URmicro]

@TCNoel I’m glad (?) to know I wasn’t alone in feeling this way. Mostly, my difficulties manifest in a burning hatred of all things virtual and social media. Let me know if you figure anything out.

WFH Day 406 - My coworker is ecstatic that there is less than three hours until our month-long break from work. Either that, or he found something dead to roll on.

[Heather Dee @URmicro]

WFH Day 392 - Coworker slept under the stars, and woke up covered in frost. 🤷‍♀️

[Heather Dee @URmicro]

WFH Day 388 - That morning when your coworker wakes up too early, and miscalculates the effect of the weather, but still waits for you to show up at 7:00.

[Heather Dee @URmicro]

WFH Day 384 - My coworker’s favourite way to hydrate will be completely unavailable soon.

@TCNoel @karenraycosta Word.

Thanks for the break from grading @BioRender! That was a fun diversion. #ScienceEggHunt

On our one-year anniversary of working together, my co-worker and I went for an early, and extra-long walk at morning coffee. He didn’t want to leave his “device” at this “desk,” however.

WFH Day 327 - Fresh snow provides strong evidence that my co-worker got up — and got to work — before me.

[Heather Dee @URmicro]

WFH Day 323 - My coworker is happy that the cold snap is done and that we are able to continue our coffee time walks. He is absolutely ecstatic that his current favourite toy has been repaired, too.

WFH Day 303 - When your coworker doesn’t “do” weekends, and waits on the steps for 20 minutes for you to show up for afternoon coffee:

[Heather Dee @URmicro]

WFH Day 277 - I think my coworker is snowed in. Haven’t seen him leave the doggie mansion since yesterday when the snow started.

[Heather Dee @URmicro]

WFH Day 264 - Things my coworker has taught me: if someone leaves for off-site work at 6:00 a.m., go *right* back to bed until it is both light out and it is coffee time. Maybe someone will deliver a coffee time treat to you.

[Heather Dee @URmicro]

Uh oh, @mcd_611, I think we just talked about starting a band.

[Auguste Nahas @AugusteNahas]

At some point I realised that “we should write a paper” is the academic equivalent of “we should start a band”

@mcd_611 Looks like we all (N=4) disagree with the CDC. I think we can overrule that unfortunate lapse in CDC credibility. No more CDC-slapping is needed! This time. 🤔
