After the pilot period has passed and you, ETS, and your team decides working from home is a fit for you then ETS will consider reimbursing you for a chair.

Some problems with Black Ice have not yet been solved. I just sent a memo to Glenn Stovall telling him that I will be out of the office on vacation until July 23, but to please keep at it. I've already had the phone company and Roadrunner to my house for the installations. Alma has provided me with a cell phone. The team has been discussing all the issues involved regarding communication, etc. when I am working from home. With the delays, it looks like the parallel with a backup in the office won't start until August. Thus, Nancy will be my backup for the parallel since she is the August backup. Jean will be covering my vacation as the July backup. My childcare arrangements will not change when I start working from home. Zach will continue his afternoon childcare routine and my husband, Steve, cares for him in the evening. My home office is upstairs in an unused bedroom. I've got two desks to cover my work computer and the home computer we already had. I'm concerned about the chair situation. My office chair doesn't offer the back support needed for full-time use that my Enron chair provides. Can I use my Enron chair at home? I will come in once a week on Tuesday afternoons for meetings and interface with my team. My team is supportive of me in this opportunity and I am committed to providing excellent night owl coverage.
