[walrus]

I’m not knocking the meetings. I had three zoom meetings so far this week. Now that me and beanz are bff until the next blow up beanz and I are doing private zoom meetings where we talk about how screwed up all of you are

Ho! Ho!

Ha! Ha!

[Memphis]

Not a Zoom meeting. But I wanted to gauge opinion on just how unprofessional this is of me. Today, I held a Teams meeting from the back of my car because I was out shopping. I was the meeting organizer. It's been in the calendar for a week. I was 20 minutes late.

That's acceptable behaviour right?

Totally acceptable bro. YOu held the Teams thing whenever and wherever you could. Thats a trooper right there. 20 minutes late though is the only noteworthy negative, but back of your car is totally fine.

No. Not acceptable.

You are a shithouse.

No way. You need to be fired.

Dude I gotta tell you I think it’s kinda common for people to do this shit nowadays. I notice even though it’s zoom and it’s supposed to be face to face half the people are blocking their screens so you will just see a dark box that says “ellas iphone” or some shit. I really think a lot of people are getting sick of it but it is good being that you don’t have to travel to meetings anymore. I think they feel kinda cold and impersonal but we have had some funny ones at work. Peoples cats will stick their face in the screen sometimes

Our work does not have the state of the art technology that yours does for zoom/MSTeams/skype meetings we use teleconference on my Nokia mobile.

Ah yes the pets. We have competitions in work to see who can send in the best pet pic whilst working from home. It was sweet at the start but that kind of shit gets old really quick. I sent in a picture of Dougs arse. He has a pristine arsehole. Didn't make the newsletter.

In my defence. I am trialing a new VPN client that has some wizardry that maintains connection no matter the location, network or cell service. So it was a field test. I'm a terrible employee. Great liar.

Ha yeah my wife is working from home most days although she needs to go in and use the lab a couple times a week. I notice she and her coworkers will give each other warning txts make sure they didn’t fall asleep or order something on amazon etc. I actually go to work everyday and I’ll come home and my wife will tell me “don’t tell anyone but I did a wash while I was supposed to be working.” I ask her who the hell am I going to tell, well apparently I’m telling an international forum. So sorry honey I just told everyone. I was home one day she was “working from home” and I caught her napping at her desk. I found that kind of funny. In her defense though she does work hard from home. She will keep working on programs until 8p sometimes later. She is one of those honest to a fault people and will guilty about doing house work so she will make up the time even if no ones looking. I gotta say if I was working from home I think it would be to distracting, I don’t think I’d do well. I did it for two weeks at the onset of the shutdown and it was a real struggle to stay in that seat in front of the computer.

I think people give themselves too hard a time over it and feel they have to be glued to a desk for 8 hours none stop. In reality it's not like that in an office so why should it be at home? No one complains about people having a quick chat in the kitchen making a brew. A quick chat about sports or whatever at your desk. I had loads of colleagues doing fantasy football spending hours over their teams and games.

I'm not going to feel guilty about popping to the shops or starting a little late in the morning if it's OK for Sandra to go to her lunchtime yoga class and take an extra 30-40 minutes getting showered and changed then talking about how great yoga class was. If anyone's better half is called Sandra that was purely coincidence. No offence intended

I know a Turkish guy who is going to be asking you about this VPN stuff tomorrow.

[Beanz]

I’m not knocking the meetings. I had three zoom meetings so far this week. Now that me and beanz are bff until the next blow up beanz and I are doing private zoom meetings where we talk about how screwed up all of you are

Ho! Ho!

Ha! Ha!

You wish. Just grow up and either not pretend you are so special that you can't eat cake with the commoners or go and wind your watches up.

Actually my favorite watches are automatic and technically you don’t need to wind them. The motion of your hand/arm winds them. I do have mechanical watches which are the ones you must wind. Actually when I do repairs it’s easier to work on mechanical watches. Watches are very intricate and have fantastic history behind them. I do have a couple watches that are probably obscenely priced but to be honest with a couple hundred bucks you can buy an automatic watch that will literally last generations if you care for it properly. It’s just a good healthy distraction and a lot of fun trying to find an interesting watch with history on the cheap. I got a 1960 diver in mint condition for 130 bucks.

Ha!

Ha!

There are automatic watches you don't need to wind? Watches are very intricate? Ha!

The last watch I wore had a battery in it and cost less than 20 squid. I have actually been taking to pieces clocks and barometers to build some props for a film.

They don't have enough clocks in public places anymore. Who wants to get their phone out all the time if they are not wearing a watch?
