Working remotely during a pandemic

Practicing social distancing

Hello! Denise Henry, marketing representative for SERVPRO of Lawton and Wichita Falls. Well, Tyler Watts is the rep for Wichita Falls, I just do all the social and web marketing.

My friends on Facebook and in the Chamber of Commerce call me Dee. And they've gotten used to morning pictures like this. Obviously I'm not a professional photographer, but I like for my friends to still see me. 

And my boss. No better way of checking in every day than a picture!

Marketing is different now. I'm used to stopping in and seeing my customers, and I really miss being able to do that.

Thankfully, most of my customers are also friends on my Facebook page. So we have a roll call of "Good morning" each day, and can check in with each other.

Working from home has helped develop better relationships with my customers. We get to see the real side of each other, and we share more important information than we used to.

Funny, this social distancing has actually brought us all closer!

We all share the same worry about how bad this is going to be. And we wonder if this is the new normal, or if we'll ever get our lives back to what they were.

And, we wonder if maybe what we need is a combination of old normal, mixed with more family time.

I'm blessed to work with an amazing company that allows me to work from home. I would never have imagined that I would have to, but I guess none of us did.

Good visiting with y'all. Take care, and stay healthy!
