"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark Twain -
Yeah! When my wife went I was left alone with five kids, youngest 18 months, and luckily (thank you Sun Microsystems) got WFH role - back in 2002, unusual but I was living in darkest Scotland then and not many folks knew much about SunRays as I did then. Anyways...Originally posted by scooterscot View PostDo people still watch telly?
I had two at school, one at playgroup and two at home (Scots kids start school at 5!!) and all had the telly on, noise, crashing and banging about, falling down stairs and hiding in the washing machine while I was working, got used to the noise and now I can't work without the telly on, and something in a window top left of my screen like an old movie I've watched a dozen times, even now I've only one at home now, nearly 16.
My current partner is the opposite - nightmare when we are both working from home, she needs absolute silence, while I have the telly on and occasionally put the MacBook down (she nicks my office) and try a new riff that entered my head on my 150w Line6 amp at a decent volume....
Luckily she doesn't WFH much....Comment
