Covid has meant I am working from home all week, which has driven home two points.

One, how dull and lonely it is compared to being in the office.

Two, how utterly immobile I am working at home with nothing but a screen to stare at. At work, I get a lot of movement in, along the corridor to the scannner/printer, other people's rooms to discuss something, up and down stairs, even just around my room to get something physical from a file. I am currently stiff as a board from sitting in the box room, sorry, home office, all day.

I much prefer it to the annoyance of constant interruption.

Get a standing desk - keeps you moving.

Admittedly, I can go for a swim at lunch so it's a bit easier!

Maybe this deserves its own thread because it's a hell of a signing

Vicious bastards too; I remember seeing one of them in Florida, gobble up two ducklings swimming behind their mother

I'm coming to a bit of a decision on this as well. I really like working from home and never want to go back to a full time office environment (I work for myself), but I can see it's beginning to have a detrimental effect on my physical and mental wellbeing. I'm also very much more inclined to stare at a screen all day and get nothing done except plan my lunch and dinner.

I think it gives me loads more time and freedom to do stuff, but actually by the time I've dropped the kids at school, prepared myself for the day, had an extended lunchbreak and then the kids are home and its difficult to do anything, my work day is about 2 hours.

I've just been offered a desk at a clients office a couple of days a week and think I'm going to take it up just for a bit of a change.

Set alarms on your phone. Every 45 - 50 minutes then do 5 minutes of stretching by the desk or go for a wander round the house.

I started working fully remote last October (I've actually never been in the office of my employer) and I don't mind it. I've been getting back into running, and being able to trot off for 10km at lunchtime while the day is pleasant and sunny instead of at the crack of dawn radically improves my day.

End up at the fridge, eat a snack and put on weight.

Now that must have been a very heavy weekend of drinking!!!

A man has astonished police by calling 999 to report himself for drink-driving.
North Yorkshire Police said the call came in just before noon on Monday from a man who said he was "drink-driving and doesn't know what he is doing".
The driver, who is in his 50s, told the call handler he was in Knaresborough and had had "a heavy weekend".
Officers said he was three times over the drink-drive limit when he was located 15 minutes later.
He was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and remained in custody, a force spokesperson added.

The Witches are Coming, by Lindy West


Some time ago, a preview of this book appeared in various places around the internet; reddit, Twitter, and a few others. I encountered it, and knew at once that this is a book I would need to own and read. And I was right.

The excerpt reads as follows:

My husband plays the trumpet, which is a sort of loud pretzel originally invented to blow down the walls of fucking Jericho and, later, to let Civil War soldiers know it was time to kill each other in a river while you chilled eating pigeon in your officer’s tent twenty miles away, yet somehow, in modern times, it has become socially acceptable to toot the bad cone inside your house before 10:00 a.m. because “it’s your job” and your wife should “get up.” What a world! If one was feeling uncharitable, one might describe the trumpet as a machine where you put in compressed air and divorce comes out, but despite this—despite operating a piece of biblical demolition equipment inside the home every bright, cold morning of his wife’s one and only life—the trumpet is not the most annoying thing about my husband.

What Trump rally was that?..

Any suggestions on a decent dash cam for car?

Greece has legalised same sex marriage. First Orthodox Christian country to do so. Progress keeps chipping away, but by bit, despite the fuckers who are trying to take us back a hundred years.

Such a great film with so many references to other films.

I love Greece and the Greeks.
