Considering fucking off and buying a house in the Sierra Foothills if WFH is going to be at least a few-days-a-week option. Only 2 hours on the train back down to the Bay. Life around here just seems to be getting worse by the day. People are getting desperate and you can feel it in the air. It’s not comfortable. Over it.

I like not making a commute, wearing lounge wear, listening to whatever I want, as loud as I want when I’m not in a meeting, and people leaving me the fuck alone most of the day, but I do miss having a different setting during the day. I mean my “office” is literally two steps from my couch, so the separation between work and home life is an effort I have to make.

Haven’t worked since before Christmas but not that worried about not working but the boredom is slowly creeping in. The first lockdown was easy but as it’s winter means I can’t get out my bike 2-3 times per week. On a good note it’s to get lighter in the evenings.

The fantastic weather here (proper winter with lots of sunshine, snowblindess levels) has helped a huge deal. Also doing power walks every week now, didn’t excerscise at all after the summer last year.

I absolutely love WFH. My home office is boss 💪

I’ve fucking struggled today.

At it non-stop and cracked by about 3:30. Had a ‘sad hour’ them back on it.

Weird

    Recommend an ape hour to anyone

    Mad_Cyril Take care mate. My wife and I had a full blown row in front of the kids yesterday over something pretty trivial and then I had a zoom presentation straight after. We are not meant to be in each others faces 24/7!!

        Thanks Al.

        I’m good, was probably more a case of running out of steam, but felt really depressing.

        Strange times for sure. Hope the presentation was a roaring success!!

            Mad_Cyril me and missus had a massive row on Friday night, it was my fault, but it gives you a sense of how weird these times are, she came through and apologised.

            I don’t think much will beat her bollocking me for using too much mayo in a cheese salad sandwich during the first lock down.

                She’s right, you don’t need mayo in a cheese salad sandwich. Or salad. Just bin it all off for another glorious thick slice of mature cheddar and then slam the whole buttery mess in the Breville.

                    bosstrabs I like mayo on a cheese salad sandwich. Toasted sandwiches are different gravy - cheese, tomato and onion. Mint.

                      Used to have banana and nutella in my toasties at boarding school.

                      And no that isn’t a euphemism.

                        This story tells me you now have the upper hand and are bossing it.

                        Enjoy while it lasts!

                          Was it because the most recent 5 hour Hernan set didn’t really get going after hour 3 like you promised her it would?
