I mean, it sounds like we went through a lot of steps, but it was very time-compressed. Early last week, we canceled all of our upcoming programs through next month. On Friday, we were told we would be closed to the public for two weeks starting Monday. On Saturday, I got a call from my manager to say we would be working half our regular hours. On Monday morning, we were told our schedules would be split by desk location so that every other person would work mornings and the rest afternoons to maintain social distance. About an hour later, we were told we would still be working half our regular hours, but we'd be working from home.

The thing is, I can't work from home. When we migrated, we moved from Horizon to Polaris. Polaris has a web-based client that you can do almost everything with, but you can't merge or edit bib records. For that you need the desktop client, which IT said they couldn't give me on a laptop for site licensing reasons. Without the desktop client, there is no part of my job I can do. Then I was told that we'd be watching training videos at home. I can't watch 19 hours of training videos a week for two weeks, so I asked about personal time--which I have in spades--and I was allowed to take vacation days instead, so I'm a free bird until the end of March. No decisions yet on what we're doing for April. Our managers are supposed to call us closer to the 31st.
