I Am Working From Home

I've been working from home now for about 3 weeks. I was looking forward to it as I would save travel time, start work earlier and get more time to myself. It was going to be a good situation.

Coming to the end of my 3rd week I find I'm so bored. I'm lacking serious motivation to do anything. There isn't a lot of work coming in, but it's too easy to be distracted by YouTube and Netflix.

This feels like I am on holiday leave but have to sit at a computer looking at emails the whole time. I've been wanting to work from home for a long time and now this has been my chance. But I feel like this is a bit of a battle.

In blabbering all this out, I acknowledge that I should shut my mouth. Others have lost their job and I saw a supplier this morning go into administration. Some others don't know if they will have a job next month.

So how about I just stop whinging and be happy with what I have....

I work from home too. It’s a 7-4 screen time kind of work and I often find myself suffering from immense computer fatigue. I can’t wait for this pandemic to highly fuck off

@DrScissorhands I would say I'm still sort of enjoying working from home, but it's now a motivational issue. Like I've been working for 1.5 hours so far this morning and all I've done is send 2 emails. I'd rather go mow my lawn
@Laughman Precisely! I’ve done two laundry loads since waking up this morning 😂

@DrScissorhands haha..our team is being made to document our activities on a spreadsheet each day to account for what we do. I didn't bother yesterday and I don't think Netflix will count as a category.....
@Laughman Oh our team one upped yours. They gave a deadline time to fill in those spreadsheets daily.

@DrScissorhands oh wow. You win hands down. I just don't care about mine. I'm literally making up stuff as I put it in. This isn't primary school.
