It’s a privilege to learn about racism rather than to experience it.
I cannot say they made no attempt to notify me. #StaySafeMN
RTO or Return to Office is what my company is calling it. We are at 10 percent staffing on-site, with the remainder doing remote work. I wear a mask away from my desk, and there are many limits in place throughout the facility. #CubeLife #CivilianMaskCorps #StaySafeMN
For such a tiny update, 13.5.1 is taking plenty of time to install…
Return to Office
I have continued to work as part of a skeleton crew staff (I manage a desktop support team) throughout the pandemic. Today my state has opened in some small ways and I will see a small number of additional coworkers. I was gifted with hand sanitizer, a reusable and some disposable masks, and an insulated lunch bag.

So, yeah. I’m on the east side of St. Paul and I’m lucky not much has come close to me. But I started to cry when I saw this advice on screen.
- Be off the streets at 8:00 p.m.
- Be aware of suspicious activities/groups
- Be aware of large gatherings
- Call 911 if you are witnessing suspicious activity
- Remove anything from your lawn that could be flammable or a projectile through a window
- Store dumpsters in your garage or move to hidden area in back yard. Consider wetting down the inside contents if they have to be left outside in view.
- Keep LIGHTS ON and some windows open to hear noises that may be approaching. (use caution with windows that may be easily asked from the ground)
- Have an escape plan and a to-go bag (remember to take along any medicines you may need)
- If you need to be outside wear headlamp, bright colors and reflective clothing
- Charge cell phones. Cell towers might go out
- Have alternative ways to communicate with your neighbors and help them to make a plan in case things do get bad.
- Have garden hoses ready and untangled for possible use.
- Check your flood lights; door lights; KEEP THEM ON.
- Soak down wood fences and surfaces
- If you have a Little Free Library-empty it.
- If you have a fire extinguisher-get it ready
- Check on each other-especially older neighbors, and the vulnerable.
- For those who choose to stand outside, watching homes or businesses, do not confront anyone. Call 911, call another neighbor to be with you.

If you are thoughtful, and you want to understand why, you can find the answer. The work is to accept your own responsibility.
