    Things your not happy about working from home

    1. Having a poo at home is much quicker
    2. No nipping in for a pint on way home
    3. Need to make your own coffee and lunch
    4. No bacon sandwich on way to office
    5. No more boys banter about SIFI/boobs/football

    Anything else ?

    The sex over the desk isn't as good.

      speak for your self, sex over your desk is just great!
      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        There is nothing I'm not happy about working at home.

        The best bit is that cilent agreed to pay additional 0.125 x day rate per hour as I'm working long days and long weeks. Then I ended up WFH, so instead of...

        ...before Covid 19, I would leave home at 07:30, get home at 19:00 and get paid for 1 day.
        Now, I start work at 08:15 (after a stroll along the beach), finish at 18:30 (15 mins for lunch) and get paid for 1.25 days.

          1. Not if you've a good book to read. And you've got wifi.
          2. But there is nipping to the wine cellar two or three times a day
          3. I have adult children to make me lunch, coffee and indeed tea.
          4. See 3. They do a mean bacon sarnie. And they pay for the bacon
          5. Didn't have that in the office much - but the 1980s just rang and they'd like their attitude back from you.

            Make sure he's had a breath mint first. He probably came straight from the kebab shop.

              What an amateur.

              1. Can now take my iPad instead of my phone.
              2. I can get to the cans in the fridge far quicker.
              3. Yeah and if you're a contractor is should be better than most of the lunch stuff apart from a couple of places.
              4. Buy some bacon?
              5. You can have a w*nk or 40 at lunchtime instead.

                Have to say, having a poo at home takes me about the same amount of time as it did in the office toilet. Maybe you were stressed in the office and it made you constipated?

                Making my own lunch is a PITA. I agree with that one. I will just snack on random crap instead of making proper food.

                    I still get the two hour lunch break, but can nap for 20 minutes during it now.
