The Isolation Diaries

Just some thoughts and musings whilst remote working in self isolation...

Working from home is the best.  Not having to deal with traffic, real people or even clothes…though I do put clothes on they are totally optional.

 

However when your workload drops off it can be pretty hard going,

 

asked boss for some development time but turns out they are off today..booo

 

so left twiddling my thumbs trying to work out what to do with my day.  Open to suggestions, just no skydiving or zorbing cos I’ll need to stay pretty close to the laptop incase it picks up.

jkillaaa​(sub female) - I work from home too! I usually try to catch up on chores between work tasks - load the dishwasher, start a load of laundry, vacuum, unload dishwasher, etc, etc.

badmonkey​(sub male) - Aye, I’m far too efficient for that carry on, everything done before work o’clock.

I could put the washing out but looks like rain…

Banféinní​(sub female) - Oh slow days when your work from home is the worst. Since I keep a very clean home, I generally turn to my kids’ rooms. Especially my daughter’s room which requires a hazmat suit to clean.

Or I try a more complex recipe. Or do one of Mt the items on my home improvement list. Just be sure that if it’s painting a room that you wipe the droplets of paint off your face before you jump onto a video meeting! 🤣
