Five weeks of shutdown
More than a month of shutdown has passed, and many of us have gradually become accustomed to new ways of working.
A number of Skype meetings have been held, where we have seen each other's plate rows, works of art, white painted walls, well-arranged ring binders and (more or less) well-behaved kids in the background. And we have found that we may be able to have more of these meetings in the future, thus saving a some of the long travel days. We have come to know each other in a new way, which I am sure will have a positive impact once we return to our workplaces in Flakkebjerg, Foulum, Askov and Jyndevad.
Personally, I've had enough to do with writing applications, completing articles and working on responses to the authorities - it just feels good to get to the bottom of this. But at the same time, it is also becoming increasingly clear who supplies our 'main substance'. There are some critical tasks that need to be done even if during this "shutdown". Work is done, for example in the fields and the labs, and while there are many guidelines to follow, things are going really well and everyone is making a huge effort.
You are all managing the situation great and work is getting done both by those who sit at home in living rooms, kitchens or children's rooms and by those who are doing the critical work tasks.
