Good morning chaps and chapesses
I'm working from home today - this may well involve some actual work and general fannying about on t'interweb.
Do you ever 'work' from home? Tell us of your procrasturbationary ways, favourite dog-fingering websites etc - liven our days.
Alt: Aldi - just for povvos? (there's even one in Leamington Spa - I'm surprised they let them in TBH)

My Mum and Dad have got a new woodburner in their new conservatory.
The black metal chimney running up the side of the house seems to have upset their neighbour, who tried to complain about lack of planning (turned down and ignored) and has now moved on to complaining to environmental health that there's an illicit business being run out of the garage/shed. The silly fucker is just making himself look like a tit because my dad is so lazy that both the garage and shed are so full of shit that he's he's been obviously ignoring for years it would be impossible to do any "work" in there.

I think his petty squabble will fail because he's underestimated how few fucks my dad is going to give.

I sometimes work from home but its usually to get more done without distraction rather than procrastinating
I don't shop in Aldi. Not because of the quality of the food or the prices but because I can't pack at my own pace and there are too many scumbags in there. I hate shopping anyway and either do click and collect or get it delivered.

i could work very effectively from home, if i had ever actually worked out how to connect my laptop to citrix
when i do work from home, on articles or witness statements or something detailed, i like it. i get less distracted than i do at work really, because i don't have colleagues coming in for advice every couple of minutes.

And a lot of the office staff were allowed to work from home but seeing how much time I waste in a day when I am "in" the office I decided that if I worked from home I would do fuck all. So I would tether my work phone and come into a massive empty building it was great.

I don't ever work from home. I don't have the sort of job at the moment that you can really do from there.
This may be slowly changing, though.

The bane of my life at the moment are Change Requests. To make a change that requires all of two minutes of my time, I have to fill out twenty minutes of bureaucratic shite.

Change that will affect no-one, go ahead. Change that potentially may affect one or more people, change request, then the wait for the change management board to approve it. My last request to upgrade a licensing server went to change management board over a month ago and I'm still waiting. Let me guess, your workplace adopted ITIL?
