And now of course, if you have spare time and effort and want to volunteer in a variety of ways: https://helpwithcovid.com. Let’s make sure those that need assistance the most are able to get it.

Exactly the title. Switching teams and ramping up and learning more and wanting to do a good job… all without really being able to be as productive as I normally am, etc. *sigh* 😓
