Now with less breakage.

Working like normal. I have a cushy office job, but there is a sysadmin element to it, and the Oslo hospital system keeps forgetting that they employ researchers and that those researchers have their own network. So the "here's the full medical history of named people, click here to schedule them for a random organ swap" systems can now be used remotely from any random gaming PC at home, while the research net with its carefully de-identified and fairly dry data has nothing.

I'm absolutely not complaining, though - it's interesting enough work, my colleagues are nice, and the infection control measures both at work and on the way there are reasonable. It's just really ... odd that one of the most technologically competent corners of the organisation is the one that can't work from home.

I did take two weeks of doing minimal work over email and unstable SSH tunneling at the height of the spread here, and used it productively - by getting into Planetside 2 with my partner. His idea, even.
