Reenie is now my official meeting proxy. I’ve let the team know to expect her. Good thing though that Skype doesn’t feature smell-o-vision.

Last bit of wisdom:

Dr Strangework or how I grew to love remoting

Roko wanted all of us in the group to send him pictures of our home office setup. It’s going to be shown in the sprint review tomorrow. This is my contribution. At least I shaved yesterday :)

Bring your work to cat, indeed

One of the big issues of working from home is discipline and motivation.

This does not help.

Neither does this, when you come back from the bathroom.

But at least the telecommuting memes are amusing:

Working from home is the new normal

Posted on March 17, 2020March 17, 2020 By admin

Given that I’ll be working from home for the foreseeable future, we rearranged some furniture to put the desk in the bedroom – out of the common living space – to allow me to teleconference in (relative) peace.

It also means that my kanban board is at work, so I’ve rebuilt it with what I had at hand. Yes, I could use a cloud solution but I’ve found that post-its on a board work best for me…

Still, don’t panic.

“As of Wednesday, 11 March all employees working at [site] and [site] will be divided into two groups. The groups will work in alternation one week from home, and one week on site. This measure is put in place until further notice. The groups have been defined by your leadership team and for simplicity there is “a Blue and a Green group”. By Tuesday, 10 March, we ask you to put the respective color sticker on your badge in order to be allowed to enter the building.”

So this happened.

All of our computer lock screen backgrounds have been replaced, from random pastoral landscape scenes, to this.

But don’t panic.

Working from home

Posted on February 7, 2020 By admin

Working from home today. Stepped away from my laptop for 5 minutes to make myself a coffee. 5 MINUTES.

I thought this only happened in the movies.

I had an email composition screen filled with gibberish and 8 open remote desktop connection prompts.

CATS!!!
