Quarantine Confessions (share yours here)

Mine: today is my first day working from home, ever. Uh, it turns out i don't do much work at all. I'm literally sitting here with my work laptop open and checking emails that come in. I emailed two clients, rearranged a conference call and filed a couple of things electronically. That's it for the last four hours. I ate peanuts for breakfast. I did a face mask. I've been using my Macbook to surf the web all morning. I watched Youtube videos. A lot of them. I coconut oiled my legs. I swept the kitchen floor.

Some of my coworkers have said they're much more productive at home because of fewer distractions. I feel like there's a lot more to DO in the office. I'm doing nothing here at home. How wrong would it be to turn on the tv and just start watching?

I confess to going out and raiding all of the dollar stores. They still had a lot of toilet paper and bleach. I feel ready now, for anal bleaching......

Unless I have a big project, working at home is 2-3 hours of work and 5 hours of whatever the fck I want.

I've worked from home for YEARS and I think that's about accurate. But those 2-3 hours are productive!

Also give yourself a break - everyone is so distracted and frazzled right now, at best.

My confession: I have a pretty sizable stash of chocolate that I am hiding from my family members.

I was doing a mud mask, while on a conference call.

Those of you who have been clamoring for telework, this is your opportunity to show it can be done. Don’t blow it.

+1. Today I took a short nap after I watched “Late Night”.

I confess that even though I have been really wishing for a break from work for a little while this is definitely not what I had in mind.

Didn’t make our kid quit their fast food job because the store went drive thru only. Now my husband is pissed off at me and threatening to send us to a motel when I pick her up.

there's nothing to "blow". the issue is that there is a lack of work that actually needs to be done at this 5 minutes.

Oh good I thought I was the only one.

My confession is that I've always had an interest in home schooling and am a little glad to get to try it. it's only possible thanks to my incredibly understanding workplace, which I know is a blessing. But it's only socially acceptable to complain about how the kids are driving us crazy, so I can't tell anyone IRL that I'm enjoying making lesson plans and getting started on family projects.

I confess I'm thankful for this so I don't have to take a shower/get dressed and don't have to worry about anyone busting me looking like a mess.
