So, what did you do in the great lockdown?
Discussion
I'm working from home so unfortunately, I won't be enjoying any me time apart from saving 30 minutes a day on a commute. If I wasn't then I'd be on COD or making lots of music mixes, listening to music and maybe catching up on the odd car program on TV. Basically anything I can do that I enjoy is better than working for the man.
Love that the wfh people are planning on doing loads of other things. 
My wife is usually wfh anyway but is left to her own devices most of the time to get on with it. She’s finding it much harder and less efficient now that many of her colleagues are also now wfh for the first time with endless teleconferences and phone calls.

As long as the dot on Teams is green who is going to know what you are up to! I am online.One of the devs that used to work for me wrote a tray app that moved his cursor every 10 mins to keep Skype/Teams from switching to "Away"

I’m already predominantly a home worker. I’m sales so the on site prospecting stuff is either now at home or more likely not happening.
Wife is now at home too. She’s at risk so probably here for a dozen weeks. Which is killing my YouTube and w
king schedule.
Didn’t matter anyway as got a 7 and 3 year old so life will revolve around entertaining them and doing just enough work to get by (probably when they are in bed). My wife is normally office based and she is responsible for 120 staff, so that needy lot will keep her flat out I’m sure

If the gym and the climbing walls close then I will be building a home calisthenics station for the garden so I don't end up weak and fat. Then lots of home cookery (if the muppets will stop stripping the shops of ingredients), making the garden beautiful (a solid couple of weeks work by itself), possibly a house modification project involving brickwork assuming I could get them delivered. Maybe rebuild the rear porch.
Currently I'm still in the office so all that will have to wait.

Will be going for a session tomorrow but have a feeling climbing centre will be closed next week so will be the last for a while :-(Currently I'm still in the office so all that will have to wait.
Doing my house up but living with my brother. If I can go between both I'll be doing work on the house although supplies could be limited. Phoned timber company today and they said next week delivery. I said no thanks as it could be weeks if at all before I see the goods.

Our teams has been shocking, messages delayed, disappearing
Me and a few colleagues have been numbering each message we have sent and putting a manual time stamp on so we can see if some have disappeared
WebEx in the PM has been awful AM a bit better
We have had good results with zoom
Smoke signals are preferable
