After the powers that be have decided we're working from home as of today, I've found...
1. Dining room chairs hurt my arse after 2 hours. This will need sorting.
2. A laptop with a second monitor doesn't cut it when you are used to 3 wide screen monitors. This too will need sorting.
3. You can fart as loudly and as often as you wish.
4. It's nice to have music on.
5. The kitchen staff aren't as accommodating as those in the works cafe, but they do grudgingly deliver to my desk.
Anyone else been sent home? ____________________ Chances are quite high you are not in my Monkeysphere, and I don't care about you. Don't take it personally.

Since Monday.
I'm also told to limit my access to the vpn because it's not designed to have everyone working from home so no emails. ____________________ trevor saxe-coburg-gotha:"Remember this simple rule - scooters are for men who like to feel the breeze on their huge, flapping cunt lips."

Still in the office at the moment.
1) I have a decent computer chair at home, no worries there. And in the office the boss is seriously considering "gaming chairs" over standard office ones.
2) Mmmm, I could probably get by with two but one is hard work and the main thing I'd miss.
3) And the toilet facilities are usually better, in case you have a mishap
4) This I'd miss: we have an old Logitech gaming sound setup in the office - big subwoofer - and various streaming services going through an old chromecast audio dongle. At home I'd have to wear headphones
5) Staff pay rates might need to increase ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Most people try to make best use of thier time in this captivity.
Not me , I’ve spent the morning playing with my cat with a piece of string on a stick

Does having to book holiday days rather than losing them count as being sent home?
Either way, I'm home for 17 days, 16 of which I know I'm going to get completely rat arsed |

Been home since Friday, very handy having a dodgy internet connection meaning my daily stand up meetings keep dropping out. Server can't handle the traffic either so my productivity is horrendous. Loving it so far! ____________________ DRZ400-SM

Broke into a few houses looking for containers for fuel.
Broke open some car fuel caps in my road, and siphoned some fuel off, topped up bike and car, and stored the rest in the shed.
Went round houses in my street and dragged all the rotting corpses out, placed in pile, doused in petrol and burned. That's a few less round my way to come back after dark looking for living flesh to feed on.
Broke into storage area of local Tesco and got a decent haul of canned foods that hadn't yet been put out on the shelves. Still more in there, secured it.
The above translates to:

Today, my employer told me I'm staying at home tomorrow (going back in on Friday), because there are 8 lawyers were I work and he says at this time of the national crisis there's no need for all of us to be at work at once. So, we take turns in who stays at home and when (100% pay). He says three lawyers at work should do. My supervisor already called in sick and my colleague called his son might have been exposed to the virus so he's in quarantine until all the tests are done.
The good thing about all this is, that the servers at work actually do work and the whole system is much faster than usual. It's actually ''joy'' to use those computers these days.
ALSO, I'm not doing any home office crap, as it is not allowed to take any legal documents out of the office. #Lawyerd. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

No Win no Fee?
You must have some free time to start some cases.
I think this CoronaVirus has given me Whiplash.

Told us to work from home yesterday. The best part is it's nice and quiet, which gives me a nice break from having to have headphones on for 8 hours a day to drown out the idiots. it's not really anything new since I could always work from home. I was surprised how many people dont even have a desk
We've already had about 10 documents sent around with crap advice about drinking water and going for regular walks to keep yourself sane.
Everyone's also trying to find some way to socialise over the internet with games and stuff, because apparently nobody has anyone to talk to outside of work
I am down to my last 2 bog rolls though so it's not all great. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 4 years, 33 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
