My knowledge pool is zero even in the job :lol:
I would certainly miss one or two of my work colleagues but I've tended and tried to keep work and work associates entirely separate from personal and home life which is all more the difficult these days working from home :|

Working from home is difficult to get used to at first (Been doing it for 14 yrs) and takes a lot of discipline especially in summer months but it has distinct advantages. As long as my work gets done then I am left to my own devices. If it's nice outside then I take advantage, if not or its dark cold winter months then I work and or clock up time owed. Weekdays / weekends don't matter. Alarm clocks, what are those? Traffic jams the same. I go into an office no more than once a week and only for a couple of hours at most. I have been offered serious money to work full time in an office based job and turned it down. Can't beat coming out of the bedroom into the office, switching on the computer and your at work in seconds. Often still in the dressing gown till 10am
Merck gives up developing two vaccines saying that after extensive research it was concluded that the shots offered less protection than just contracting the virus itself and developing antibodies.

I have followed this thread, but only posted once or twice - mainly to avoid getting into arguing with strangers!
But then I read this thread today:- https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=126988
If a vaccine has even a 50/60% chance of keeping me out of that situation the sooner I get offered it the better.

Maybe it’s an age thing but that sounds horrendous to be honest! Each to their own but I would have gone nuts by now if I’d had to have worked from home this whole time. I know some of my friends are and once the initial ‘novelty’ period wore off they all hate it now and want to get back in the office. Mental health is a massively overlooked issue at the moment.
Hopefully this whole sorry affair will be over to some degree soon.
I have been working from home for 12 years. I don’t even pop to the office on the odd occasion. Being mobility impaired it has been great. All my colleagues are now working from home and it looks like they will never go back to working full time from an office again. That is what the company is saying.AndyBeech said:
So this thread has morphed into talking about working from home. I think that’s a good thing.
I’ve been working from home since 18 March of last year. At first I did not like it but now I’ll admit I’m spoiled. I do miss my friends and sometimes it’s hard to communicate even via Internet chats but I’m liking it.

Many companies are now realising its cheaper for them them paying for big offices in city centres. I find I can get more work done from home than being distracted all the time in an office. Not to mention the commute. If your single, I can see the benefits of an office but give me the work life balance of home working every time.
Didn't see this one being reported by the BBC.

Being a right antisocial C^4T I love working from home, its always annoyed me how businesses are so old fashioned in their approach to it with typically older managers being actively against the whole concept for really no reason at all. RIP to the office space rental sector though!

100% this.
My partner has noticed a sizable decrease in the productivity of her team when working from home. I suspect others might be the same.
I will be honest- if I was an employee working from home I would totally be the same
Well, depends on the employee and their work ethic. It IS difficult, but I find myself working out of hours a lot more that I did. Popping to check up on what the US is doing all throughout the evening, or prepping up for Monday on a Sunday night.mgrlane said:ronk said:

One man band in a man cave with ramps, blasting cabinets, tools....sold all my old building equipment and never been happier working. I’ll take this all day everyday even with all the worries and risk that a new business brings. No intention of setting anyone on again, just me and my cave with no one breathing down my neck...!
