OK so I have just had a half hour Teams catchup with my boss (audio only) with my trousers drying on the radiator next to me (I’d been cycling in the rain), whilst playing Cookie Clicker. I’m living the dream.
really shouldn’t have taken me so long but had a meeting last week with health and safety person, am getting an office chair, a desk etc. all sent to me
sort of bored of doing everything in the same room now
For those who don’t have carpets - we put some rugs down under our work desks, and it is making this cold snap much more bearable.
Getting fibre broadband next week, finally. Might be able to get through a Teams meeting without one person sounding like a dalek.
Oh I meant to put this in this thread
My god it feels good to not be working in the same room that I’m sleeping in. Not sure what to do with all this space though *gestures wildly*
Just sent an excel to my boss where I spelled ‘Discount’ as Discocunt.
I want to die.
Yeah think I need to do this (plus have my chair on a folded up blanket as the wheels mark the wood)
Disco-cunt!
Yeah it’s bollocks isn’t it.
Not just you, have to write discount quite a lot in my job and have been so close so many times to sending a memo to a senior person asking them to check the disco cunt. Why would the spell check do this?!!!
Back working in my office for the first time since March. It is just me on my own and its very peaceful.
I assume if you’re alone you don’t need to wear a mask? Or are you technically breaking the rules?
My wife’s smallish office was due back this week but that was before Christmas. The masks requirement has meant it’s been out back again
I’m all alone in my office and it’s closed to visitors (until we’ve finalised our Covid safe plan). Basically, its nice to use a proper desk and monitor and have my home as a home again!
In this country honestly wouldn’t be surprised if you are still breaking the law by not wearing a mask
Shout out to whoever it was out of my colleagues who put “buffets” here in our Future Ways of Working meeting this morning.
Someone put “Nothing” but I was too slow to screengrab it.
Own up: was it you?
This is my current setup
I have started to find wfh very grueling, like I hardly make progress on anything and trying to stay on late to catch up is usually not productive.
Good sound for the teams meetings though
I’ve found that a change of scenery (ie working at an office or at someone’s house) once a week does wonders for me in terms of productivity. Appreciate that there’s a good chance this might not be possible for the time being.
