Starting on Monday, my husband will go back to work at their office. It has been a month that he has been working at home because of the lockdown the government issued due the increase in covid cases. With still high number of cases, I feel that they should still work from home. Oh well. We already are registered for vaccination but the supplies of vaccine here is not enough yet. So we just have to wait for the call of our schedule. do you prefer working from home or at the office?

@rakski a family friend told me, that working at home saves him from wasting precious time doing required social chit chat as well as traveling time to work. He calculated the money he managed to save from that, and was very pleased (he could use that to book a short holiday for his family).

@YrNemo very, not only the time but money, food and even clothes. Because I do not have to laundry and iron his clothes for work

@rakski I enjoy my work both at office and from home, but working from home is more comfortable.

I agree that it is still dangerous to go out to work, I hope you can get your vaccine soon.

@rakski Many people who are sick do not stay at home, they are those who spread the virus.

During the pandemic, I'm glad I can work from home. I've always done both before but am scared of getting Covid so am just editing manuscripts at home now. Didn't your government extend the time for businesses to be closed? Or was that in a different area?

@rakski I understand. Some restaurants here have closed completely since we aren't allowed to eat inside them now. Only if the restaurant sells the food out their door can we have it or if an app can be used to have the food delivered. I don't know how companies are doing here. I don't work in an office so never pay attention to them.

It is lockdown here but business is open expect for some that you like bars and amusement. It will depend on the company how will they go about it. The economy is suffering the reason why though lockdown, some offices still can run

Tomorrow I am scheduled to go swabbing as part of the protocol for us that will be reporting to the office again. I am a bit hesitant to get one since I know how uncomfortable the feeling of being swabbed. I hope that I get a negative result so that I can really report back to work again, else, I will be ordered to be quarantined again if every it shows to be positive again. Although I am quite confident that it will show a negative result since I am feeling fine and I do not show symptoms at all unless I am asymptomatic of course.

I would prefer working from home because of the present situation but I don't think I would be able to because I work in a production unit and I am a production manager there.

There are upsides and downside of working from home but if I am considering the safety, I prefer working from home.
