I may be asked shortly to work from home instead of going to the call centre where I work - I’m imagining being on my laptop and headset speaking to customers on the phone and then the meet I arranged pops in and sucks me off as I take calls - has anyone had an experience like that ? |

"Working from home? Yes.
The other part? Nope.
Working from home isn't all it's cracked up to be, but if needs must to prevent any extra contamination in the work-place then it has to happen.

Diabetic here too, and it was that combined with the fact that I use public transport that my employers classed me as a high risk and so to work from home for the foreseeable.

I had a lunchtime meet with someone who did online customer services for a big supermarket from home. So I guess you never know what the people you’re talking to have just been up to  |

Spare a thought for those of us who drive lorries for a living. We can’t work from home and if half of us went sick the country would have major problems. The only good thing is we don’t mingle with too many people I guess. Just have to keep taking precautions and keep lorries clean.

I used to coordinate my home working days with a friend. We had lots of fun. I made conference calls much more interesting. It amused me to make him struggle to concentrate! |

Everything on here is a sex question.
Apart from A to Z animals, but give it time |

I’ve worked from home for years. Worst bit is when Honey has an afternoon girlie meet and you have to ignore any noises from upstairs, almost impossible to work! Best bit is if you’ve time for a break and get to join in, or they need a photographer for a few minutes  |

There won't be much opportunity for spicing things up during work hours with kids off school too!
Having said this I do genuinely appreciate being able to work from home during all this... and really feel for those who won't be able to keep earning (my hubby is in this boat as he's a self employed tradesman but one out of two incomes is not something to complain about)
