WFH is fine as been doing it for 2 years already, but what is hard is not being able to take the wife out and for her to have no visitors. She's been stuck in now since Feb but I'm planning to take her out, if only for a spin in the car, over the weekend. We're now in talks with the palliative care team as her illness gets worse, so not great for her that with limited time left she is forced to sit at home with me!

Been WFH for at least the last 7 years - it's the rule rather than the exception for me and that even included 4 years of permiedom.
Swings and roundabouts innit?Comment

Hey Whorty, a spin in the car will do her the world of good. I am one of the sheltering types and just seeing open scenery and new things was electrifying yesterday.
I am sorry to hear your wife is so unwell. I can imagine what a toll it takes on you. Remember to look after yourself as well.Comment

The difference of WFH this year is I have no choice.
Last year I could work in the client's office if I chose to and could go to the gym, cafe, shops, tip, etc on the days I WFH.
Feck I'm even missing going to the local tip..."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
