Re: Working From Home Tips

My employer has no firm, or company-wide policy, but is apparently aiming for 3 days in the office per week, ... by September, but that certainly ain't happenin' so far. Due to the length of my...

Re: Working From Home Tips

We are currently enjoying a remarkably long period between using AC and heating - it's been about 4 weeks since one of the post-hurricane tropical drepressions brought the temperatures down to where...

Re: Working From Home Tips

I was WFH anyway, since February 2019, so I don't have a desk to return to, but (in NC) Mrs P has already been officially been told "there will be no return to the office before November 1" - for...

Re: Working From Home Tips

Looks to me like there are multiple options for calling the UK for about 1.0ยข/min (https://www.ontariophonecards.ca/united_kingdom.calling-cards). :unsure: You can set another Canadian city to dial...

Re: Working From Home Tips

Re: Working From Home Tips

WFH definitely needs communication to make it work properly.

I was WFH 100% anyway, since 2/19, but I have open communication between multiple colleagues and contacts throughout the day, and...

Re: Working From Home Tips

My employer's tech support mostly just ask if you've rebooted, so now I never call tech support until I have rebooted. Rebooting fixes at least 80% of my computer issues, and if it does not then tech...

Re: Working From Home Tips
