About 11:30, after a few hours of staring at spreadsheets, mostly trying to look busy, he begins to think about lunch. He and his coworkers head to the cafeteria a few minutes before noon since it's "Mexican Day" and the line will be long.

After a few tacos and some chit chat with the crew he heads out the company approved walking path, exactly 3/4 of a mile around. Loose fitting polos and khakis bunched at the ankles as far as the eye can see. It's about 70 degrees so plenty of folks are out today.

1pm and now the longest stretch of the day. 5pm seems so distant that it's arrival seems unlikely. 2pm and time for an afternoon coffee. He hates to drink coffee but it's a small prize to keep the momentum going. Somewhere around 4pm he checks out and surfs twitter for an hour

5pm Brad shuts down the computer, packs his stuff, and begins the ten minute walk to his car. By 5:15 he's stuck in traffic. He calls his wife to say he will be a little late. She sighs as she realizes he won't be home to take Aiden to his 6pm soccer practice.

Dinner will have to wait. Probably fast food after practice. Brad apologizes and feels helpless at the same time. He finally arrives home to Liv and Carter watching YouTube. Liv needs a ride to band practice ASAP and Carter says he's starving.

He heats Carter up some frozen chicken nuggets he can eat in the car on the way to band. He swings back home. He can't wait to get out of these work clothes and into something comfortable. He also realizes he has only a few minutes to spend with Carter before they head out

His wife gets home, he gives her a quick kiss before he heads out to play catch with Carter. Twenty minutes passes quickly and now it's time to pick the other kids up while his wife goes to Yoga. This was their deal when he started 6am workouts, she gets Yoga.

He picks up Aiden, then Liv, and they all agree to hit McDonald's on the way home. It's already 7:30p and everyone has homework to do and showers to take. Brad tries to catch a few minutes of the football game but the TV distracts Liv from her homework, so he turns it off

He figures he will catch the end later. Meanwhile he has to help Carter with math that he's forgotten how to do after all these years. His brain is fried and he wonders how he can be this tired from sitting at a desk all day. Sigh. Back to long division.

Wonder how Brad is doing now that he’s working from home?
