Kevin Murphy: Phone Calls, Efforts to Maintain Routine

Warren lawyer Kevin Murphy is hanging tough, along with his wife, Karen. You can read more about Kevin on the Harrington Hoppe & Mitchell website.

What are some ways the COVID-19 outbreak has changed your work life?  

First of all, it has become far more lonely.  With many of our professionals working remotely, the office has become a very quiet place.  More importantly, being productive is challenging as we spend quite a bit of time learning more about the coronavirus and how to properly wash our hands.

How about your personal life? 

It has led my wife to the conclusion that I can never retire.  Apparently, I’m driving her crazy.

What steps are you taking to hang tough? 

I’ve really limited my activities and made a concerted effort to avoid people and places for purposes of social distancing.  However, for me, the best way to deal with these most unusual circumstances is to try, as best I can, to maintain my normal work routine.

What advice are you sharing with the people you love? 

I tell them that while I’d love to see them, maybe a phone call will do.
