Is that thing where proper nouns become verbs more likely where the noun has a double-o? I find I've now added 'Zooming' as a verb on top of Hoovering and Googling.

It's the family online quiz this evening - it started out as a one-off, and has now become a fortnightly staple. Honestly, I'm enjoying these way more than I thought I would.

These last few days I've felt really drained; work's been a bit intense these last couple of months. Still, at least I (currently still) have a job.

I really enjoy double checking my calculations when the testers say that the scenario's failed, only to discover that I'm getting the right result.

After a long absence, I'm listening to podcasts again. I know I'm late to it, but am finding NPR's White Lies an intriguing listen.

Not sure if I can get back into football after so much marble racing
🦊 Captain Wenworth
The marble racing has been ace! I started off watching, OK, this will be silly, but... yeah, it's curiously compelling!

Just back from walking the dog through town; more shops are open, people are out and about and it feels busy, despite there probably being about 10% of the usual Sunday activity.

There is absolutely no reason to go back, unless it is to socialise.
🦊 Captain Wenworth
Exactly; if anything, I've been more productive at home, and Teams gives us the ability to see/talk to others.

I started working from home the same day too. Using my old desk, and iMac. It works well, so far. Want to invest on a standing desk, though.
🦊 Captain Wenworth
Most of my colleagues now have standing desks - I'm kind of intrigued by the concept, but not quite enough to warrant the investment. Yet.

I just have this suspicion now that I'm really going to resent going back to the office if/when this is all over...

yeah working from home is just better because you don't waste time on commute and just sitting to finish a certain arbitrary time limit.

Same!

Will you need to go back to the office before an effective vaccine is found?
🦊 Captain Wenworth
I've been working from home since 23 March; bought a proper desk, and a 21:9 monitor, and it's been working well

Should I send an email to the last active people announcing Subreply?
🦊 Captain Wenworth
Thanks for the email! I had forgotten about sublevel, but I really like the concept, and will try to make more use of it!

Work is getting a little bit busy, and a little bit frenetic.
