COVID-19 Wk 9: Calm Before the Storm?

For me personally this week was pretty nice because I felt it was probably the first “normal” work week since this all began. In the previous eight weeks a core group of us have implemented a citywide COVID leave plan, a federal emergency sick leave plan, numerous changes to our timesheet program for both the…

COVID-19 Wk 8: Keep Keeping On
