What TMB Employees Miss While Staying at Home
I miss watching my granddaughter play softball and the delay of my grandson starting his first season of T-ball. I’m hoping these activities will happen in the fall, as I love being a softball/baseball grandparent!
~ Kerry Avila
* I miss coming into the office and then leaving my work at the front door to my house!
~ Chris Wall
* I miss my friends. I miss greeting them with a hug and/or a kiss.
~ Michaela Royce
* Spending time with my family/friends and going out to dinner and themovies.
~ Kimberly Neal
* I miss going to Chuck E. Cheese with my granddaughter Skylar. But I’m teaching her how to earn her toys from Papa.
~ Tim Adkins
* I miss being able to celebrate with my family and friends during family events such as birthdays or holidays (we had 5 birthdays in April and May), I miss being able to meet my parents and our kids for our weekly dinner out to a local restaurant, I also miss the freedom of being able to just head out the door, pick up my daughter and granddaughters and go shopping on the weekends and lastly I miss dressing up and wearing my high heels!
~ Felecia Chinn
* There are two things I miss tremendously. Number one – my grandbabies that I can see only via FaceTime. They recently learned to talk, and their vocabulary is still limited, but “coronavirus” is part of it. Number two is my hairdresser. My usually short hair is growing out too long. We exchanged our dilemmas with PMS377 teammate Katie Thatcher and she suggested to start shopping for fancy hats until our hairdressers are open again.
~ Irena Goldfarb
* I miss running the quiet streets of Washington, DC and the Mall and monuments area in the early morning.
~ Dan Clague
* I miss coming to work on Monday mornings sharing my thoughts on some surprisingly rare good off beat movie, documentary or series I saw over the weekend, especially those no one had heard of and hearing their occasional response of “So, what is it about again and who is in it?”
~ Lester Jones
* My wife and I miss having our little granddaughters spending a couple hours with us after school each day. I also miss watching the Penguins play hockey either live on TV or traveling to Pittsburgh on the weekends and watching them at PPG Paints Arena (LETS GO PENNS!).
~ Joel Tootill
* We have an 11 month old Granddaughter (our first) who we miss so much especially as she’s starting to talk and we’re expecting her first unaided steps this week (and fishing-had to throw that in)!
~ Mike Gibbons
* I miss spending time with my friends on Friday nights either hanging out at our house or one of the local restaurants, spending time with my Mom on Saturday mornings and enjoying a cup of Starbucks together, and watching sports with my son.
~ Mary Anne Matsko
* What I miss most about “normality” is not having options. I usually go to the movie theater and see a live musical performance about 3 or 4 times a year. Another example is sporting events. I had plans to see the Washington Wizards play at home against the Detroit Pistons with some friends I haven’t seen in quite some time in late March.
