| Locale: Schaumburg, Illinois Week of: November 9, 2020 This week I delivered a 'resident class' in Schaumburg. It is a pretty basic RF class that I've taught for 19 years now, so there was very little stress in this delivery. It's not the same delivering a class there though. The building is a ghost town since everyone is working from home. The only reason to keep that building (all 12 stories of it), is for our classrooms. I wouldn't be surprised if they move us to a different location (cheaper lease) in the not to distant future. Pure conjecture on my part, but it only makes sense. The kicker to all this, is that with the COVID cases on the rise once again, the county implemented even more stringent measures at controlling crowds. The classrooms are designed for 12 students, but we can now have no more than 25% of the allowed amount of people in it, meaning 3 students in the small classrooms (where I was), and 4-5 in the larger rooms. So, I had a class of three, except one person didn't show up. It's harder to teach a small group like that. There aren't as many questions, so the time goes by faster than it normally would.  Overall, it was a good week, but things are so different now. I'm just thankful I'm still employed!My schedule is still on steroids, and I can only assume everyone else's is too. (I can only see mine, I do not see who is teaching what or where). I'm glad I get the weeks of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years off, because other than those weeks, I am booked every week between now and May 24th! In Closing I will spend the weekend and the next two weeks at home. Next week I will teach that 'Fleetmapping' class online again, with the City and County of San Francisco my customer. Til next time, be good to yourselves and those you love, and WRITE!  Jim Dorrell |
