the real test of having the job that you want to be in is ..

when u wake up in the morning, do u do a self test to see if you are

1. sick 

2. dread going to the office 

3. just tired and just need to warm up to start brushing your teeth.

If yours is wake up.. 

1. wake the wife up.. tell her u on your way to work..

you have the right job. May not be the best paying job, but something that makes u feel like you going to the adult playground.

When I mention adult, I don't mean hanky panky porn playground.

Before Covid, when I wake up

1: Alarm sound, swipe to turn off
2: Eye open, pretend to sleep abit 
3: Still lie down... Play handphone, check Whatsapp, check news, check Instagram likes, check FB, check mcf
4: Eventually wake up, go brush teeth, wash face
5: Bring dog 1 out for walk
6: Prep breakfast for 4 dogs
7: Bring dog 2 out for walk
8: Feed all 4 dogs
9: Sit down chill out a bit, check phone
10: Wash-up, change, go to work
11: Gf eventually wakes up

I've been WFH since the beginning of the year, before this covid thing started. Prefer it this way as i'm an introvert.

 

Important to have a routine still to maintain discipline, i think alot of people who are new to WFH are not used to the freedom/lack of supervision and can lose focus.

For those SME bosses, here are some tips!

Agreed .. my company allows WFH even before Covid-19 to allow us to attend to family matters should the need arise. 

Need a lot of discipline to WFH. Tend to work longer hours compared to WFO if there are issues. 

Need a lot of restraint to not raid the cabinet for chips too!

The issues of switching on AC were talked a lot in this thread. Yeah, the heat is real struggle when WFH without AC. 

Office got free AC .. so nice .. 😜

[Ckll]

There was an earlier post about mozzies attack while WFH. I'd recommend installing mozzie nets on all windows.

I got paranoid after getting dengue a few years ago. So closed all windows and ended seeing molds growing on ceiling and walls.

Installed mozzie net when I did my renovation and it has been really nice to be able to open up all the windows to let fresh air in without worrying about mozzies. The house is more airy too.

I put a door seal at my front door to ensure not even cockroach and lizards can come in 😅

heat + mozzies

I went to buy those UV light electrical zapper thing. Everytime hear tiak tiak sound feel shiok. At night a lizard will come and eat up all the cooked mozzies.
