Random question, how much effort does everyone put into grooming/appearance while WFH? I'll bathe daily but it's iffy if I'll brush my hair or put on real pants...

Probably different for everyone. I remember back in the days before COVID, I used to feel disgusting if I didn’t shower everyday. Part of the reason I hated camping. Fast forward 5 years and I’m a total slob. I can go a week without showering and nobody knows in zoom calls. My head is shaved, so as long as I wash my face and maybe wear a hat, I’m good.
But lately I‘be been realizing this isn’t doing wonders for my mental health, so I’m trying to clean up more often even if I’m not going to be meeting people in person.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills.

For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

Are WFH industry roles at the $300-500k TC level really that much less stressful?

Still WFH? What are other chambers doing for task management? Our chambers has been keeping up with assignments, incoming emails needing judge’s eyes, and written orders, all through Microsoft Planner. We share PDFs through Sharepoint folders. Although we still email draft orders back and forth, the system seems to work well enough. We still aren’t operating at our previous capacity because it takes 10x the number of steps to get a motion heard or an order entered—90% of our workload.
