Week 0: WFH is a must. It will help get the rest I need as well as get so much done
Week 1-2: Oh this is what I always wanted, I am working so much without unnecessary disruptions, family time!! Hugs and chatting with kids.
Week 3-4: I can save up all my vacation time and use them later, productivity is at its max and I have completed all my pending tasks
Week 5-6: Is it safe to go to office just for an hour, how does my mother think I can do the dishes, cook, clean and work>
Week 7-8: How can I avoid this call? Why do they trouble me so much with just a query?
Week 9-10: My family hates me, I hate my family, I miss my desk and chair, the noisy open office is better than the constant noise of calls, my kids classes, the TV my parents watch
Week 11-12: What day is it? Does it matter? The whole week feels like one long day
Week 13-14: Oh my office clothes are missing me, maybe I should get dressed in my office clothes today? let me rearrange my cupboard
Week 15-16: My back hurts, my eyes ache, ears are sore, thighs feel like lead, I wish I had a feature phone, can I have my coffee hot and in peace at least one day
I am surrounded by people at home, luckily we moved into a larger apartment 1 1/2 years ago and the extra room has been a relief.
Teens are not entertaining, old parents are not very reasonable, there are days I doubt my love for my family.
I yearn for an escape into another world I don't know exists> A world without laptop, internet, Phones, Network.
There is just no way to switch off!
I experimented with turning off notifications and turning the phone on silent mode after 7:00 PM, this made me miss few important calls.
Never again, My job is to be there for my people
My phone rules my life!! I hug my laptop more often than my kids.
I miss seeing people, the inability to read people’s body language, its a trade off between video calls and allowing their bandwidth to stretch for a little longer
I am exhausted. This life is exhausting. Working is exhausting. After working, maintaining a home is even more exhausting. Cooking and cleaning after is exhausting. Waking up everyday to the same thing and going through it all over again is exhausting
I crave sleep, but insomnia is my best friend ( only??) these days So I watch movies, read books, lie awake staring into the darkness
Week 17-18: Work from home fatigue is real.
WFH is over rated ... it’s very difficult to get work done.
