So please, if you have any elderly neighbours, please spare a thought for them and perhaps check in on them. On a completely unrelated note, does anybody live near @Peter Capaldi Fan ? For one horrible moment I thought you were calling me elderly (maybe you are). Though since you ask. It's possible you live closest to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLocalWizard Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Hope everyone’s keeping safe. Been told my job that was meant to be starting in May will now be delayed by a month. Let’s keep checking with our friends and hoping this’ll all be over within a month or two. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjbleming Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Still in the office. Still no decision on how to go about the virus. Discussions ongoing but could find out anytime between an hour and 5 weeks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrong Name Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 My company decided the best way to follow the Government's advice of locking yourself away at home and avoid any unnecessary travel was to immediately put me on a plane to go thousands of miles away where I can't even do any work. But my hotel room is nice and I have lots of movies to watch so it could be worse. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators etmuse Posted March 18, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 18, 2020 I'm on day 2 of working from home.

Peter Capaldi Fan Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 On a positive note my journey to and from work is a good 20 minutes quicker than usual. And local companies keep sending free food - pizza, cakes, chocolate. Essentials like that. Hope everyone manages to keep safe. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyDeTemps Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Usually I can go days without speaking to people more than a few words. Now everyone is twiddling thier thumbs and wants to contact me. The inundation of social interaction is doing my head in. Plus working from home is a nightmare technology is an epic fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no better if you are still in the office. We have so many working from home that the system doesn't cope. Neither do online meeting systems. Got tossed out of a half hour meeting four times this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namine Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Just a heads up to those who live in London, on the weekend, everything will be shut - shops, restuarants, bars, cinemas etc and public transport will be limited due to a complete lockdown. It's the same here in Ferryhill, we are in complete lockdown and cannot go anywhere unless it's necessary like shopping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am taking an endless number of calls where people are asking the same questions and fighting my way round Tesco at a lunch time. I'm really sick of repeating myself to people who think I am not aware of what is going on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 At least you still have a Tesco you can go to. The Supermarket here at work closed down for "renovations" without any sort of notice. So no lunch for me cause the new security checks didn't give me enough time to go elsewhere and I didn't bring anything thinking I'd grab something with the rest of the Shopping. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same experience for my husband working from home.... vpn is rubbish with added load they have. Also teenage kid next door is off and seems to be playing xbox or something in room right nexr to hubbys office and is constantly yelling at the game/whoever hes playing with. Not helping hubbys stress levels when systems acting up/not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a email from Asda last night about extended opening times for the elderly and vulnerable being at 6am as well as Tesco now are limiting how many items one person can have now due to the coronavirus pandemic as they've now removed all traces of their "multibuy" offers and telling everybody that they can only have one item such as hand sanitiser or one big pack of toilet paper etc per shop and not per person, which will make it easier for people to get them imo.
