Thanks ???? for existing.
I hope that after this key workers are going to be considered as vital part of our community and paid more! |

Working from home. I prefer it as not being disturbed by pontless chatter. I also can take beraks/lunch outside in garden. We can have meetings by video chat. In fact the office is thinking of home working becoming more commonplace. |

"Been furloughed and don't know how my work will start up again in this new world  And I think I'm too old to find a sugar daddy to fund my vibrator and cake habit  "
Never too old for anything!
I’m furloughed too, potentially fired soon ... so no sugar at all |

Many offices are going to stay closed after this in my opinion. |

London/Essex... ish... Romford to be exact |
I set my alarm for exactly when I'm due to start work and then proceed to work from home in my pants in bed. The first week was very chilled. I was able to go for a walk or a jog and not worry about being interrupted or needing to have my phones on me at all times. Since then my colleagues have been furloughed meaning it is just me providing support. Watching BBC news on a loop, work calls and emails... Doesn't really inspire me with sexual urges tbh. |

I hope companies seriously consider their working policies after COVID. I'll be honest I'd struggle with permanent home working, I like interaction with colleagues and I'm sometimes easily distracted. However, we all know the planet is being abused far too much and less cars on the road, pollution in the air, stressed commuters etc can only be a good thing. Needless air travel for meetings/conferences as well should be canned permanently.
Less days in the office, more walking/cycling to work etc would be great. |

"I have 2 part time jobs. One I'm working from home and the other I'm on furlough leave. As someone else said, not sure how that will end really... Thinking of other options... "
Other options like what?
I am seriously considering to learn how to become a gardener... |

I've been furloughed since end of March. Bored shitless, should have done more with my time and realised I don't want to return to work on Monday either. My job is a good job, but I work with awkward idiots who complain continuously instead of just getting on with things. Really want to find a new way to earn money..... |

Well funny you should say that... It's what I do but more as therapy and thinking it would be easier in this 'new normal' to go back to being self employed gardener...  |

I'm working from home but I'm really missing the office chatter and human company - I will do it more often than I used to, but I'll definitely be going into the office some days as soon as we are able to |

"I’ve been working from home for years. The big change for me is not being able to work from cafes. I miss the buzz of other people being around. "
So true! |
