Summer days, AC on the way...

Hey Baltimore. It's just about the first day of summer, but based on the weather, we can say it's summertime. So, as always, we want to know what your summer worklife looks like. 
 
Is anybody switching up their remote work locations? Anyone glad to be in the office because you don't have to pay for AC?
 
Are any of your companies letting their employees appreciate the summer and have shifted work hours?
 
Is working in the summer for you drastically different than working in the winter? Why? Why not?
 
Let us know by replying to this email or sending a note to , anytime.
