For many people working in non-essential businesses, staying home is the only option. But while the physical world is on temporary hold, the digital world is busier than ever before as many companies (<em>including GrantWatch<\/em>) have transitioned to remote work for the time being.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an introvert, I feel like I have been training for the working remotely and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantnews.com\/social-distancing-its-more-than-a-hashtag\/\">social distancing<\/a> lifestyle my entire life!&nbsp; So far, it&#8217;s been a month of bliss.

They include questions like: <em>what day is it? <\/em>or<em>, did you put pants on this morning? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In point of fact, &#8220;<em>are you wearing pants<\/em>&#8221; has been trending in mainstream media and social media alike. There are several Pinterest boards dedicated to <span style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: #ffffff; color: #191e23; cursor: text; font-family: 'Noto Serif'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\">&#8220;<em>are you wearing pants<\/em>&#8220;<\/span> memes and it seems to be a favorite question for news anchors to ask an interviewee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>COVID-19 might not have very many positive effects, but as we are already in the midst of one of the most disruptive events in our generation, we might as well find the silver lining of being isolated at home.
