Just wondering. First week back for me after 2 off and I've done everything but what I'm supposed to.
Just had a coffee to 'really get down to it' and ended up trying to photograph magpies from my window for the last half hour. Tricky buggers they are. Cleaned out the fridge, resolved a long standing light-bulb issue. A few other things.
This working from home farce has its advantages but I find when the work ethic falls off it really does fall off. Can be quite isolating and even guilt inducing. Will need to catch up like a bastard at some point very soon.

We have got busier during this whole sorry saga so unfortunately don't have time for the work ethic to fall off as I'll get behind and it would be noticed very quickly. However, being at home has enabled things to be done such as stuff on the house we moved into about this time last year. I don't have fag breaks so I may take a 10 minute break anyway and do something in the garden.
A few months into WFH my company kindly told me that as I'm not commuting now (1 hour each way) I can start earlier and finish later. I very politely put it back to them that I will be starting and finishing the same hours as when in the office, thank you very much.

Yep can’t get into it at all. I was planning to get my tax return done early this year too but as I’ve not even started it yet…
I was locking up my bike the other morning and saw some unusual looking birds on the grass. I don’t remember seeing them before and think I’ve identified them as Redwing which is a type of thrush apparently. There were quite a few of them. What does it all mean?!
I'm making the most of the fact I can WFH for another week before the restrictions change again here. Then its back to the pointless charade of having to sit in an office pretending I give a shit

They’re regular winter visitors to our shores at this time of year so it’s fairly normal and a nice thing for you to spot………..or it could be a sign of the end of times.

I’d like to let you know but I can’t be bothered.
It’s a Redwing.
Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?

Is it easier to pretend to give a shit when WFH?
I definitely can't WFH five days a week, I'd go facking mad.

I’m retired so I don’t give a fk anyway. No guilt either.
I have most recently been a key worker for Hillingdon council looking after the open spaces, so no time off. I’m knackered. For all my diligent hard work they gave me the push this week ( not strictly true as I was seasonal). Not ready financially to retire, but, by jingo, it’s getting more and more appealing.

WFH is all about discipline
Wake up 60 seconds prior to starting work Go back to bed for half an hour Eat Xmas cake for breakfast log on sneak off for a cheeky w@nk watch TV snack Have lunch Wander to shops sneak off for a cheeky w@nk get bored of the internet find chocolates, eat them log off half hour early sneak off for a cheeky w@nk start on the beers
End of the day and you finally get your "me" time

I started back on the 4th and after catching up on my emails I was fed up, didn't even keep manage to keep my enthusiasm to lunchtime. Been a grind ever since.
WFH isn't helping but I think it's only part of the problem, I've been non-stop since lockdown despite some members of my team bring furloughed. Feel like I'm owed a month off while they cover me to catch-up.

They’re regular winter visitors to our shores at this time of year so it’s fairly normal and a nice thing for you to spot………..or it could be a sign of the end of times.
Most redwings come to the UK from Scandinavia and Russia in the autumn to spend winter in southern England and further south in Europe.
They spend the autumn in hedges and orchards, where they feed on fruit and berries. As winter draws on, and the fruit is used up, they move onto open areas in search of earthworms.
You might spot them in parks and playing fields — often in loose, mixed flocks with other birds, such as starlings and fieldfares. In some years, when there is more food than usual at their breeding grounds, the redwing population increases suddenly and then many more visit the UK.
In spring, redwings leave the UK for their northern breeding territories. Many redwings that spent the winter in Spain and southern Europe also stop off in eastern England to refuel as they head back north.
