First Day of Remote Learning. Both kids were on laptops first thing in the morning. Jacob has his school-issued Chromebook. Sophia is using my old laptop. Only glitch was a Science link that would not open on the laptop. Sophia emailed her instructor and he had to update it to work on a regular laptop vs. a chromebook.
One of my per diem gigs is I am the contract Sewer Clerk for the Newington Sewer Commission. It’s a town board overseeing a wastewater treatment plant. While they are an elected town board, the plant and it’s budget is separate from the town as it is funded 100% by the rate payers – which is just commercial/industrial sections of Newington.
Their monthly meeting was today. Normally I sit at the conference table with the board and plant manager. Today I sat at the managers desk in the corner and then everyone had their own side of the table so we could practice social distancing. There was plenty of hand sanitizer in the room, but good handwashing and cleaning is the norm there – after all it is a wastewater treatment plant. They know how to keep it all clean.
The weather was so nice we took at walk over the Great Bay Wildlife Refuge to get out of the house.
No Girl Scout meeting tonight. The Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains has stopped all council and troop events – including GS Cookie Booths – until 4/13.
