For those working from home today due to Corona Virus

What important tasks in the company project plan do you have to work on today?

Mine include having a leisurely breakfast whilst watching Top Gear, browsing Tinder, booking a service for the boiler, paying some bills and doing some bike maintenance. It's going to be a busy day I'm not sure how I'm going to fit it all in!

Mines keeping a bit of social contact via PH then working hard and not taking the piss. Just like normal.

Enjoy it while you can, you’ll be bored witless within a few days.

My 9:30 to 11:00 meeting in Canary Wharf is changed to a conference call so am on that. Another conf call with the US at 12:00, another at 14:00, then doing some actual work. Pretty much a normal day really.

Semi-retired, so probably a bit of PH. Some Cinema, then gym. Check a few mails. Read up on Retail Distribution Regulations / Rules.

Damn PH. My tea's gone cold.

Tube was empty this morning, was fantastic.

WFH myself, but was out in morning, rush hour traffic was as busy as always.

I would be working but unable to use work software on my personal computer and due to being in self isolation can’t go to work and pick up a laptop. I’ve completed all the annoying online training things I don’t have time to do and now I’m going to switch my Xbox on.

I’m also running out of bread, not sure how I’m going to remedy that. Got plenty of tins in the cupboard though, but I fancy a sandwich.

Sunbathing here in SW London. Lovely day out there no point being cooped up.

Waterloo & City Line was about half-full. Didn;t chance the Central Line and walked a bit - far more pleasant with less foot traffic along Broad Street.

Just as busy as usual ...

My start the week team meeting was replaced with a call.

My Canary Wharf meetings today and tomorrow are now calls.

As per the thread on tools for working from home I'm getting a Webex licence today for those customers who aren't allowed to install a Zoom client.

On Saturday I was feeling a bit stir crazy having been at home for four days straight so caught the tube to Charing Cross and walked from there down the Strand and Fleet St, round St Paul's and on to the London Museum. Looked at the Clash exhibition & the mediaeval/Roman stuff then continued along London Wall, across Bishopsgate and on to Fenchurch St.

I needed a fix of the City. Missing it.

Staggering level of work - if anything, WFH has made me more productive.

No 4hr a day in the car commuting. Easy availability of stakeholders. More efficient meetings/workshops via Skype.

Plus, some time to walk the dog and chip away at our new garden. £500 a month saving in fuel is handy...

My day is also getting busier. Despite being off for weeks now, gearing down; I'm being called up and asked to head in for strategy meetings. We are seeing firms flip direction in the market. Net liquidity / Eur buyers are becoming sellers in size. One guy flipped 2yards on friday alone.

They want to game out some potential measures that might land in coming days.

Its exciting stuff. Keeps me off Call of Duty (lvl 112 right now).

[Jasandjules]

Same as most days for me, got a few calls to make, some advice to draft etc..

[Otispunkmeyer]

We're at work and probably will be until they absolutely can't have people coming in. Can't really work at home when you need a few £million of special kit in a climatic chamber to do your day job!

[paulrockliffe]

I work from home a lot anyway, so I'm quite adept at breaking up work day getting my own jobs done.

Today I've ordered a couple of doors and pocket door kits for my loft project and done some research on underfloor heating. I've unlocked my Credit Card - Who knew Centre Parks = Fraud warning - and reordered my food shop after the credit card thing caused it to cancel.

My next break is lunch, then this afternoon I'm looking for window suppliers and ordering some studwork timber.

I'm just terrified the schools will shut and I'll be harassed by the kids.

I've installed some electric UFH at my place- feel free to PM me if you want to hear anything about it.
