Benefits of WFH

Spending part of your lunch break on a lounger in a shady corner of your garden with a gentle breeze. Much better than a sandwich in a crowded park sweating in suit trousers and shirt.

Sorry, nothing beats AC in the office on a day like this.

Downside : actually experiencing the heat of a day like today rather than spending 10 hours hiding from it in an air conned car and an actually quite nippy ACed office

No colleagues.

It's not that hot here. It was positively pleasant by the pond with the breeze blowing in across the field.

So pleased to not be commuting on the tube today. Happy sitting in my pants next to the Dyson fan. They probably wouldn't moan about me doing that in the office.

@eskimo- where do you work that they wouldn’t complain about that??

Ah. Meant they would moan.

But, my boss is a perv who often jokes he can check up on me via my webcam and he watches me all day to check if I am wearing PJs, so he probably wouldn't moan.

Er he sounds like an absolute sex case

I keep a blob of blu tac over my laptop camera

In all honesty, I think he is not sure how to deal with working in close proximity with me, a young-ish, attractive-ish female. It's almost a bit Inbetweeners-esque as he reminds of a socially awkward teenager that gets a bit overly excited with an analogy sometimes and takes things too far, and then makes things awkward.

He is harmless (I think) but has said some really weird things to me over the past year and I would never want to go on an off-site with just him.

I went for a swim in the lake followed by a brief siesta. WFH for me Clive.

Sounds like an employment tribunal case is a matter of when not if, eskimo...

Pond , fields ,what ?

I can pop down to see the baby whenever I like and get rewarded with a big, cheeky smile. I can go and see wifey whenever I like.

I can take calls where I will just be listening and occasionally saying "yep, sounds good to me" in the garden and do some pruning at the same time.

Nicer toilets.

Its ok for sails, it is only low 20s where he lives.

Ebit joys of country life. Sit under a tree next to your pond watching the fish as the breeze drifts in over the hay field across the pond. Sadly come Saturday it will be less peaceful as there will be a bloke with a tractor mowing and turning hay until it's baled some time early next week.

Guy it's officially 25C out here in the wild so warm but not especially so.

car says its 33 here, if fecking roasting, am in the kitchen as it's the coolest place in the house

I've got 30.3C on the terrace but that sensor is up under the eaves out of the wind with the heat reflecting off the paving. House is sitting at around 27C except the kitchen which is a little warmer courtesy of the Aga. This is why I prefer being out of town at this time of year.

You can talk about ponds and breezes and wildlife and exercise and time with family all you like but the answer to the OP is of course, being able to masturbate when you like.

Sails you have said you lived in the country, I don’t think you have mentioned it before! Country life proper is mostly ducking terrible and to be avoided .

I know this having spent far too much time in our house in Walford, in Ross on wye .

Also what Chuffy said.

Well you seemed to have forgotten my dear boy and you do appear to be prone to forgetting details of my life.

Horses for courses but wild horses (evil employers requiring office attendance are different) couldn't drag me to London when it's like this. I shall potter from desk to the pool after work then take the dog for a dusk walk after dinner when it's a little cooler and see if we see our friends the deer as they start to come out from hiding in the trees.
