I have been working from home for years. It is a mindset otherwise you risk feeling like you are at work all the time. I try to separate my work space from my place space and that seems to help.
Friends and family are going good. Ohio has been slowly reopening. Its a mixed bag. Some folks aren't doing anything different and continuing life as normal. Others are still holing up and not doing much. I personally feel like the situation is going to be fluid for quite some time and we need to learn to live with it. But that's just me.

I worked remotely after my relocation (mandatory requirement) and didn't like it all that much. I found I was much more productive actually going in to the office even if there weren't others there. There were too many distractions at home, and I didn't feel like I ever really got away from work even in off hours. So now I go in along with a small handful of others, and we take all the precautions such as socially distancing and sanitizing surfaces. I prefer having two separate environments: work and home.

Just checkin' in. I've been finding work under these conditions far more challenging than i was expecting. I'm exhausted by 5pm most days, and still feel like i'm doing lees work than i was back in Feb.

Yeah, while I have today (Friday) off from work since the 4th is on Saturday, I'm just puttering around the house doing odds and ends ... a little light home repair, unpacking a few boxes that I've been meaning to get to ... that sort of thing.
Will be trying a new (to me) recipe for Memphis Dry Rub Chicken Wings. I don't have a grill at my new place, so I'll have to go with the baked option. Will likely have plenty left over to eat on over the course of this next week.

Although fathers are more likely than not to get passed over or forgotten on Father's Day, here's wishing each father/dad a great, relaxing, and happy day today.
You know who you are.

Damn. Well, you have talked about burnout for awhile now. I kinda of felt the same way when I was writing/blogging about hockey... eventually, the fire goes out and the passion wanes. That said, don't be a total stranger. -
I loved seeing pauper on camera, but it also showed that why WOTC wouldn't want it to be on video more often: The matches took for-ev-er. MTGO forces players to click and play fast, especially Dinrova Tron and the like... those paper matches had a lot of moving parts and really did drag.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who despises social media. There are definitely cliques and if you aren't in one of them or align yourself with what they think like a lemming, it will make it much harder to get your content out there. Lots of the bigger creators talk about 'muh community' but it's all lip service. With one click to share a link or a post from another creator would expose that content to thousands of people. They don't owe anyone anything, of course. They don't have to do anything to help anyone else, but don't talk about how much you love the community and how much you want to help and do next to nothing to help new creators or creators who have been grinding for years but just need that one click to push them over the edge. Twitter especially is such a cesspool of negativity and drama. Creating content is tough, and I have the utmost respect for those of you who put in the time, money and energy to create content that most of the time goes unnoticed by most players. It's too bad, because theres so much great stuff out there that doesn't get the attention it deserves. I'm glad some of you still create content because I enjoy it and know there are others out there who do too. -
Well, like any draft, if you can't decide on a path early enough, you end up thin on playables. It hurts a bit more in a multicolour set because if you draft Orzhov or Simic cards and end up Azorius, you may have dead cards you can't play without good fixing, even worse if I had picked up Gruul. The lack of 5 guildgates (from the other set) means splashing only works for certain combos I also probably ended up passing good Azorius cards. I was the only true Azorius player, but the guy who went 4-colour gates had a few of the cards I would have loved to have.

If you don't decide on a guild and spread out a little, does it spread you too thin?
