My Home Office: Genie Montoya
Today's home office: Genie Montoya, Grossmont College Business Communications Services Supervisor
1.    Describe your home office: 
I set up my home office in my crafting room. I’ve had to clean it up to have more space for binders, paperwork and a laptop. I use my laptop for Zoom meetings and my PC for everything else. I do miss having two desktop monitors.

2.    What is a typical day for you working from home?
I wake up at the usual time, but I don’t necessarily jump out of bed at that time. I follow my usual
routine of changing clothes, cleaning up, etc.
I’ll go to my “office” to read/answer emails and approve Workday documents. Then take a break to walk the dogs with my husband.
Throughout the day, I’m on Workday, handling voice mail messages, answering emails and doing my other work duties. I try to end my day between 4:30 and 5. I put all my work items to the side so that I can craft or play during my off-hours. My two co-workers here, Momi and Maisie, have taken on the duties as my office chair seat and foot warmers.

3.    What tip would you pass on to other GCCCD employees?
Take breaks. When your workday is done, sign out and put your work aside or away. Out of sight, out of mind. I started following this rule a couple weeks ago as I was having a hard time breaking away when this first started. Miss you all! Stay safe, my GCCCD ohana!

More Remote Reports later
Today is the last daily publication of the Remote Report. Beginning next week, we will only send out a report when updates are available about working remotely and planning to return to the campuses. 
The goal of the Remote Report is to inform and inspire employees and help all of us feel connected even though we're working at home. Della Elliott and I want to thank everyone who submitted stories of their home office and passed on story tips about our students and employees. - Anne Krueger
