My name is Mark Anthony, named after the Roman general, not the singer. Looking back on the past 2 months of working from home I’ve learned a lot. Working from home has become the new normal for many of us here at Puget Systems.
A New Normal
Quarantine life has hit all of us pretty drastically. At first, it was a bit of a shock to realize that businesses were even thinking about shutting down. “Is this real?” “There’s no way the virus could be that deadly, right?”
You Have Questions
Most of my day is spent talking to customers on the phone, over email, and sometimes in person at events or personal visits. I collect feedback about our products and services and take it back to the management at Puget Systems so that we can learn what’s working and what we need to improve.
We are approaching the finish line
After several rough weeks, the end is in sight. Scripts are cleaned up, benchmark package is created, now to see if it works.

Adjusting to Working from Home – Wilson in Consulting
I wasn’t there, but I’m pretty certain when the principals of my kids’ school announced that school would be closed for a while, they cheered. Now a month into the school closures, they don’t appear to be too happy.
Adjusting to Working from Home – Eric in Marketing
With Washington state under the new “Stay Home, Stay Safe” proclamation, I have now been working out of my home office for about 4 weeks. And just the other day, this order was extended another 30 days. So we’re in this for the long haul. In the spirit of helping those who are either working from home for the first time, or simply not used to doing so full time, I thought I would share my setup, how I’ve adjusted, and what I’ve learned along the way.
