    I'm thinking this is one of the less talked of issues with WFH

    A few weeks ago I had to phone utility provider. Quick call pickup with a Cork voice at the other end. Explained what I was after. His PC down & WFH. Suggested I redial, with luck would be routed to someone else who had a functioning PC. COB time was minutes away so didnt, had a nice chat with him instead :)

    Between that and the army that Apple have had WFH for years I imagine the roads of Co. Cork to be swarming with young IT support types with a tangle of keyboards, power cables and clapped out HDD in their car boots :D

    I have been working from home for 2 years now as my team is in the US so there's no one in our offices here.. our remote support is good.. even with them working from home, so not too much work dodging once they actually contact :rolleyes:

    I've had the most lovely day.

    I woke at half 9, got up at half 10 and had a leisurely breakfast and a snickers. Lounged around and made lunch, downloaded a new audiobook and watched a documentary, had a nap. The only useful thing I've done is put on a wash and hang it up. I've been so tired lately because I've been doing so much and not feeling the best so I really needed this. I have enough food in the apartment and no need to go out until tomorrow! I may have also fapped a few times :D

    I hope ye are all well my lovelies.

    I'm including a photo of how I managed to make my fairy lights look like barbed wire :D

    Just looking at Sky News. Today is Britain's hottest day this year.
    37oC at Heathrow.
    Meanwhile in Ireland...


    As predicted...🌞

    Have abandoned all hope of cutting the grass today after the amount of rain that fell this morning .

    Think I'll treat myself to a takeaway sandwich and salad from my favourite coffee shop :)

    Have a lovely weekend all you nice , genuine posters :)

    The jaysus rain Mam. Thankfully I got the grass done before the monsoon season. Do tell about this coffee shop. Do I know it?

    For years I've done the editing side of things from home and had to provide my own support. I was always relieved when I had to work in a dedicated post production facility. If the **** hit the fan, you just sit there getting paid, no blame, while someone else fixed the sh1t.:D But I actually prefer to be on the road shooting with a mix of working from the home tech desk.

    Anyway, it's Friday night on a bank holiday weekend, so I'm off out to the pub for a session and a takeaway after that.....oh wait.:D

    Dunamaise is lovely , the coffee shop is just handier to grab a takeaway !
    Great town for food in fairness G I agree , no matter what the budget , takeaway or fancy sit down , there's a lot of choices of where to eat .

    I got to spend time with my other two grandladies yesterday , youngest one plays and laughs with me , but yesterday was the first time she let me hold her since March , shows how much lockdown affected everyone of all ages :)

    In the leaba listening to the rain through an open window. Cool air. The sound of it is a nice way to nod off.

    What's really grinding my gears is that the warm air doesn't match what's outside the window. I could tolerate a balmy, sticky night if we had a lovely day's sunshine to match.

    I would love to volunteer but my arm is still in a sling and will have to cstch up on cleaning my own place soon.

    Put on some loud music and set yourself a time limit, with a treat when it's done

    In our car, heading out to the Blanchardstown Centre to get a few errands sorted out.

    My OH is unbelievably slow at getting up out of bed and getting ready to go. An endless source of stress and frustration for me!

    Armchair-side with my Audrey Hepburn-esque hair :pac: looking at the mess all around me and trying to figure out what to do with myself. Would love to start cleaning but there’s no point as the builders will be back in on Monday (on a bank holiday no less) and the place will be up in a heap again :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,275 ✭✭✭✭Purple Mountain


    I got a lovely walk in around remote local roads, beautiful views. Was in the door 20 minutes and the heavens opened. Talk about luck. I'm not very fit so it took a lot of motivation to go but glad I did now.
