I\u2019m an introvert. I do enjoy interacting with people (including my wife, haha), but I do enjoy my solitude so the transition to working at home has been something of a euphoric experience.<br \/><br \/><strong>Fears<br \/><\/strong><\/p><p>I\u2019ve never been much of a worrier. Growing up my mom would always say \u201cWorrying about something isn\u2019t going to change it\u201d. Obviously, I\u2019m human so I do have fears, but Covid-19 isn\u2019t one of them. Also growing up as a Pastor\u2019s son I would hear my dad constantly on calls to talk to people regarding health, funerals, hospital visits, etc. So while all the negative news is traumatic for most (which is understandable), I\u2019ve learned how to deal with it.<br \/><br \/><strong>Downsides<\/strong><\/p><p>Nothing comes without its downsides. For me I really miss my Sunday routine which involved playing drums at church, having dinner with my in-laws and playing in my basketball league to end off the night. Also, we should have been in Jamaica last week for a family reunion trip which unfortunately had to be cancelled. Lastly, my grandpa is turning 100 in December and travel is looking bleak, but I\u2019m remaining hopeful that we\u2019ll be able to fly down (to Jamaica) to celebrate with him.<br \/><br \/><strong>Upsides<\/strong><\/p><p>I\u2019m married to a wonderful woman and it\u2019s great to spend our days working, eating, exercising, and praying together. Many people have joked about couples getting sick of each other, but we\u2019re both really enjoying it. Aside from my love life, I\u2019m getting a lot more sleep. I\u2019m a night owl so it\u2019s not unusual for me to go to bed around 2-3am. Because I don\u2019t need to get ready in the mornings, I can squeeze in that extra hour of sleep before starting work which has been great.<br \/><br \/>My wife is an extrovert so we\u2019ve been doing different things to help her interact with the outside world. One of her ideas was to start an Instagram mini-blog for couples during the quarantine (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_thelovewemake\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_thelovewemake\/<\/a>) so now I\u2019m a part-time model haha.<br \/><br \/>Regarding work, things are great. Communication was a bit rocky at first since we didn\u2019t have access to many tools outside of Slack, but now that we\u2019ve added Discord communication couldn\u2019t be better. Since many devs are introverted by nature, my team has really been enjoying the experience which has made my job as a manager really easy.<br \/><br \/>Overall I\u2019m really enjoying the experience. I have a great wife, a job, a great team, my family is healthy, and I\u2019m an introvert. This is heaven to me.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-90b2119 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"90b2119\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-ddb89c7\" data-id=\"ddb89c7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca4cf13 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ca4cf13\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Share Peter's Story:<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9d24f3a\" data-id=\"9d24f3a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0dbcaaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-share-buttons\" data-id=\"0dbcaaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"share-buttons.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COVID-19 Staff Stories Back to COVID-19 Staff Stories If you get to know me, you\u2019ll quickly learn that I\u2019m an introvert.
