Positives - drinking a lot less.  Really don’t enjoy drinking in the apartment, only having afew beers on a Friday and Saturday compared to going to the pub after work Friday and then all day on the Saturday...plus the occasional Sunday. 

Bought a PS4 and have been on playing with mates back in Ireland and England, good to get chatting to lads I’ve not really spoke to in a good while. 

Negatives - really bored in work, normally 100 in the office but only about 6/7 in now. Work load down - sounds good but hard to get the day in. 

Normally out playing 5 a side or at Gaelic training 3 nights a week. Didn’t think it was going to be that hard filling my evenings but it is. 

Eating a lot more because there’s nothing else to be at!

You will be the only one back. Your missus put in for special dispensation and it was granted on humanitarian grounds

How are people finding this these days?

Nearly eight months on and don't think I'll be back in an office until April! 

With level 5 restrictions etc. finding it hard to stay motivated and feel a little burnt out. 

As you can't really do anything I don't see the point in taking annual leave.

Work is the only thing keeping me sane.

I've about 15 days to take between now and the end of the year, I might take about 5 over xmas but that's it.

I literally sit on the couch in the exact same spot from 8am until 12am every single day.

I do get out exercising for about 2 hours a day.

Would love to head back into the office for at least a couple of days a week.

He wouldn't set me free,

Has its good days and bad days, very tough with the lockdown at the moment as I’ve gone 5 weeks now talking to nobody in person but the missus, and she’s out at work all day! Certainly much tougher now than it was at the start especially with it getting dark so early now. When things are back to normal I would probably do 1/2 days a week in the office and 3/4 at home. Should probably start running or something to at least get out of the house a bit but finding it hard to get the motivation at the moment.

Myself and the wife are both working from home but in separate rooms, and this is a challenge in itself.

You need a bit of freedom and space and social contact with others.

Coaching my daughters football team now at 5 - so will be out of the house for an hour at least.

Office is open but only if you really really have to be in there, and for a max of 2 hours per day
Usually go in Thursday and Friday mornings for a few hours
Rest of the week i'm at home, hard enough at times to manage with phone calls, emails coming in and a toddler running about
Those couple of hours on a Thurs/Fri morning in the office are priceless for getting things done

I have been working from home since early March and at this stage I would love to go back to the office. I work as an accountant and the daily tasks are mundane to say the least but in the office there is a bit of craic amongst us. I'm really missing the social aspect.

Same here - WFH myself since mid May and while it's nice to get the few extra hours in bed in the mornings and save a pile of money in bus fares, I also miss the craic in the office. The rest of the team I work with feel the same way, you do feel cut off from everyone else being at home all day.

I'm in half the time, very glad for it as I couldn't work at home every day but even in work, you'd miss the pints on a Friday, having lunch with different people (a lot still out), having lunch with a big group, some days there's just no motivation between anybody, everyone just fed up

WFH since March. I'm working off one laptop screen back home as opposed two large monitors in the office and it's cxxtish as I work in banking ops and I need the extra screen. I'm working more hours these days and If I take any break I'll only end up finishing late in the evenings. 

I'm still taking the annual leave I had booked off for the Ireland games which has been better than I thought it would be despite not being able to go anywhere in October and next week. We can only carry over a certain amount of days until next year so it is nice to still be off when Ireland are playing. 

We won't be back in the office until at least spring but looking forward to going back whenever that will be. 
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.
