I don't mind it a couple of days a week but this two weeks off and one week on stuff is draining. I'm a zombie by the Tuesday afternoon in the office but I spend my entire time at home lying on the couch with Sky News on in the background. Can't get a good routine at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I want to get back in to the office as soon as I can. I don't enjoy working from home at all. It might be different if I had a separate office room at home, but as it is I've got my old dining table in a corner of my bedroom, which was already crammed due to my 9 month old daughter's cot being in the room as well. The bedroom is just a disaster zone at the moment and I hate it. I also miss my cycle to work, that half an hour of exercise just cleared the head in the morning (and I know there is nothing stopping me getting out on the bike before I work, but my mornings are so disorganised at the moment as well). The flip side of this is that at present (there are a few folk back in my office) the shower facilities are not allowed to be used, there's no chance I'm going back to working in the office, and cycling in every morning, until the showers are back in use.I got asked last week when I wanted to return. I’ve said one of the last ones only because my girlfriend goes back to work on Wednesday and she’ll be more exposed to it working in a dentist, don’t want to be the dick who infects the office. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't been asked when yet, but have been asked what we want our working pattern to be going forward. As much as I want to get back, if the processes are still as they were in the video they put round the other week, I've no interest in going in to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demand from small butchers shops has jumped during this period as folk prefer the hygiene aspect as opposed to giant supermarkets. They are also discovering the fact that the product is invariably superior than shrink wrapped mass production meat. I insist on meat being shrink wrapped for hygiene reasons............ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renton Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 2 hours ago, Todd_is_God said: The 18 figure is from 17,500 tests, which means 0.1% were positive Last friday we had 12 from 5,000 (0.2%), and 17 from 5,000 (0.3%) the week before. I don't know why the number of daily tests has rocketed in the last 3 days. Maybe down to test & protect identifying cases that were otherwise missed / only estimated? Seems like the number of new people over the last 3 days wasn't particularly high, but the number of tests did jump up hugely... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do it because it's a requirement but as soon as it's lifted , and I hope it will be and not this new normal, then I won't bother with one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 2 hours ago, John MacLean said: I'm fair looking forward to going to visit friends tonight but there's bit of apprehension as well. Me and Mrs M have been getting out and about since day one and while she's been working from home I've been going into the office every working day but much like everyone else we've largely lived in our own wee bubble for the last few months. We've binged on various TV series (The US version of The Office was surprisingly good, New Amsterdam was decent but you can ram This is Us), got on each others nerves and gave the cat more attention than he's had, or wanted, in years. It's going to be great to see other people but it is going to be different from past nights with sticking to (or at least trying) social distancing etc. There was comfort to be found in that wee self contained bubble we've existed in. Almost a form of institutionalisation. Doing something previously as ordinary as going to visit friends now seems like a big deal. The natural result of approaching four months of Lockdown I suppose. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be tempted to chuck myself down the stairs and take the broken ankle to avoid it. There's actually a boy I know here who works in face-to-face English teaching who has genuinely just broken his foot. He's thrilled because his school is going back to in-class teaching next week and instead he gets to carry on working from home. It's a strange thing. This lad is another good Hearts man (bizarrely there are quite a few of us in Kuala Lumpur), he's the same age as me, he's from not very far away from me, yet we had never met before we met here and have no friends in common. I'm think he's on a witness protection scheme and have a made up identity. Edited July 10, 2020 by Jacksgranda 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Football related covid stuff: FC Zurich have had a player test positive. They have played 3 games in a week with him involved. Their next 2 games have now been cancelled and Grasshoppers next home game is also off. The Swiss league has games planned for every possible match day they can come up with. Quite how they will finish the season on time now is beyond me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
