Off Topic How do you feel

Think it basically came down to the fact that hours spent on trains, in cars and on buses and the general daily grind of office workers coming and going to the office, meant that they were actually more productive working from home. Obvs that a fairly narrow scope of the whole work landscape, there are some jobs that are simply impossible to do unless you're on site.

 

Takeover gossip while grave digging?

 

Good thread, for a change.

 

I feel what it needs is an argument over who welched on a losing bet.

 

I’ve been working from home since March, my exercise routine has gone down the drain. I had to cancel my gym membership as it was by my office and opened up a membership at a local one. Starting to get back into the swing of it.

My health has certainly in a worse state than it was in March.

 

I did do alot around the place for a while but overtime ended up doing **** all

 

See what i'm getting at you for mate? You're spending 16hrs a day plus on here.....Get out and do something.

 

I've made this suggestion to him plenty of times, I think our Captain has an extremely addictive personality and is getting hooked on this site.

Not healthy at all considering we're a bunch of horrid bastards.

 

I work in a different enviroment mate. We've rode our luck.

Times on trains, as to being stuck right next to loads of people on a job?

But you live an outdoor lifestyle. So what about the couch potatoes, surely they must be feeling down.

 

He is hooked, and it's unhealthy...

I've got **** loads of posts, but its took me 10 years to get them, not 1 or 2.

 

He reminds me of matth at times, no filters to know how to manage this place.

Which is populated by ****s

 

I'm a key worker ****.
If I'm honest life hasn't changed much at all. We don't have much covid where I live.
Having said that my finances have been properly ****ed over.
Stocks and shares isas lost me about 10k. **** happens.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^this

 

That sucks mate, quite a hit.
But like you say, **** happens and it's how you deal with it that counts.

 

Start of lockdown was a bit of a worry financially but turns out people take more smack when they're stuck at home all day and night so it's been all good tbh.

 

Been working from home since January due to an office refurb to squeeze more ****s into the office ironically.

Don’t miss office work at all, couldn’t care less about the “social” side of work and find that I’m far more productive from home as I want to smash out everything I need to so I can **** work off and do something else, sat in an office I’d just procrastinate.

I haven’t been back to my gym yet, despite it being about a minute walk from my house. Have a home gym so have been using that, but is quite limited in what you can do

 

How does that work then?

 

Well most of my work is project based, with long term deadlines in the main rather than a load of daily tasks, so I get a load of that stuff done and actually concentrate on it when I’m at home. In the office I’d just procrastinate as I sort of have to be there for 7/8 hours every day so would spread it out over that time period and you get people trying to talk to you about pointless **** as well

 

Like when i just did did my hobbit car insurance/?

The service is ****.

 

I haven’t dared look at my Stocks & Shares ISAs. They’re a long term investment though, I’ll just have to leave them in a bit longer, which is a bit of a **** as I’m 60 next year and definitely won’t be retiring just now.

I work on the railway, and public transport is empty even now, so my job’s been an absolute piece of piss. All the briefcase ****ers going into the City or Canary Wharf are still working from home - and who can blame them? At some point a huge hole is going to open up in the railway companies’ finances. I have friends currently furloughed by Transport For London who are anxious because the catastrophic drop in fares revenue means Tfl can’t afford to put them back on the payroll.

Couldn’t ever contemplate working in an office personally. I did it for a couple of years once, and it was the most miserable I’ve ever been at work - I genuinely had more fun stripping asbestos out of boiler houses (that was better paid too).
