Surrey Phil Mar 2020 10:30am, 25 Mar 2020 3,541 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil Yesterday was no problem but unable to log-in to my work desktop this morning. I know my password, etc. but it wouldn't let me in (says I'm using incorrect credentials). I reset my password using the online facility but still incorrect - somehow! I now have eight people in front of me while waiting to speak to an IT analyst. Really frustrating!

quimby Mar 2020 4:25pm, 25 Mar 2020 4,506 posts	Quote Pin quimby I have a Garmin watch that prompts me to move if I haven't in an hour. Had my first Skype audio/video meeting today. I did not take the sticker off my webcam (I put it on there a couple of years ago when I was WFH quite late and had just got undressed for bed but decided to do one last check of email, just in case).

quimby Mar 2020 4:29pm, 25 Mar 2020 4,507 posts	Quote Pin quimby Do it, Pix. Shall we start a list of good things about WFH? 1. Haven't worn a bra in a week. 2. Saving money on diesel. 3. Using your own toilet instead of a cubicle. 4. Having a window behind me which I can open (normal office is a huge place with 300 people and no opening windows).
