If anyone needs any help/assistance about setting up a home office for working remote, send me a note. I've had 'remote' jobs most of my career.

Now that I think about it, so have probably plenty of folks on this board. Post up your questions/concerns here...we'll get you through!

In a household of 4, three of us have autoimmune diseases, two are on immunosuppressants, including my 14 year old daughter.

I will be working from home for as long as possible.

My only complaint is my chair is uncomfortable.

Can you help me set up a means to conduct investigations and make arrests while sitting on my couch in my boxers, streaming The Expanse, and sipping Irish whiskey? Big Grin

Maybe some sort of automated appointment system, where I notify bad guys by email that they need to report to the local detention center at a specified time and place?

If you can help Rogue we might as well set me up to work the other half of emergency services...I’ll need to be able to put out building fires and extricate crash victims from vehicles....from my couch of course. Big Grin

saving foundations from your couch should be easy. the crash victim thing might be ok with some of those remote bomb robots, you will have to investigate that.

My job is very hands-on, so I can’t really do it. All other MOWs are being HIGHLY encouraged to do so.

My building is mostly empty now, so I can get lots of work done. Smile

Get a lap desk and sit on the couch or recliner. Just keep the TV off.

Missing my cushy desk chair at the office. Working at the dining room table at the house and the chair is NOT comfy. Will have to make a run to the storage unit to get the seat pad from my tree stand. LOL

Will use the padded stool tomorrow at the dining table.

Using a laptop with only the laptop monitor is tedious as I am used to it being hooked up to two external monitors.

Also not being able to print at home creates issues (can't connect my personal printers to government computer). Let's talk about VPN.... yes that's right I had a hell of a time connecting to the work VPN as too many people are trying to work from home.

I was told to work from home today and tomorrow as a test run.

I will be going back into work Thursday and hopefully just working from work from now on.

We started planning about 10 days ago and we closed all our offices yesterday afternoon. We bout laptops and everyone now works from home for the next two weeks.

We will have some business upset but we don’t know the extent yet.

I finally got the word yesterday that we should. I work in sales for a manufacturer and all of our customers are limiting entry to employees anyway so I couldn't do anything.

That’s awful nice of ya Ronin!

I work at either home or hospitals doing in-services (lunches) for medical professionals. Last week, My company banned us until at least April 30th from having ANY face to face meetings with customers or clients.

So I’m pretty much at home doing nothing. Don’t want to call the offices, since I know they’re busy handling all the new issues and protocols occurring with patients.

My biggest challenge working at home, and I’ve been doing it for years now, is maintaining discipline and focus when there’s so many other things to do.

Working from kitchen bar, since that’s the closest thing to my standing desk at work. On the positive side, coffee is close!

Working from home for at least three weeks. Have my work laptop and headset. I miss the 34” monitor but that’s about it. I’m more worried about my job not really being the work from home type. Can’t do shipping, receiving, purchasing, etc for an office that isn’t populated. If this thing stretches out, and I fear it will, I might be screwed until it’s all over.

My new hire appointment if I have any signs of illness.
