More WFH

CS response rates seem to be roughly within a working day, anything faster is impressive

Anything that needs a response more urgently than two weeks should come with a priority flag and urgent title imo.

Slight change of subject, but my most productive hours are between 7am and noon (I’m a morning person). When I started WFH I adjusted my hours - basically starting 2 hours earlier, to benefit from these productive hours.

However, over time, it has occurred to me that I’m giving my employer my best hours, and my free time uses my worst hours. I don’t think this is right. I would prefer to utilise my most productive hours doing personal stuff, like hobbies, or reading War and Peace, or learning a foreign language. Not making more money for my employer. So I’ve switched back to thinking it’s better to give my employer my worst hours, and keep the best ones for myself.

This is a process, I’m not very successful at it.

These are the ones I like ignoring the best.

Have gone into the office today specifically so I have other people around so I actually finish stuff up :grinning:

Dr Mrs Epimer has been asked to go into the office so marketing can do a photo of some deal being signed. Everyone around the table, pens in hand etc.

It’s being done on DocuSign.

Quite like the idea of this kind of thing being done online - a gallery of Teams thumbnail backgrounds watching a shared screen as someone types their name in capitals into a box.

“What date is it again? I wish it was Friday!”

just started new job and found out that I get £150 refunded for spend on non-ICT equipment

what would you get?

I have a desk and chair that are broadly fine tho if anything could get a better chair

or maybe standing desk setup?

Any serious workspace needs one of these

Still not got that yet. Is it really bad??

Makes almost everything I do a real pain in the arse. Extra clicks everywhere. Been fuming about it all day, but your mileage may vary.

Forgot how difficult it is to not be able to fart with gay abandon all day. Number one reason why working in an office can’t be good for you.

It’s encouraged in my office.

Gotta have a system.

Don’t want to smell other people’s farts though.
