People Are Working From Home Due To Coronavirus, And Here's How It's 'Working' Out For Them
Schools are being shut until further notice and offices have asked their employees to work from home. Not all of us are used to sitting at home and getting office work done. Plenty of people are sharing their experiences about the same. Some have tips to share while some have jokes to crack.
COVID-19 has changed every single aspect of our daily lives. From avoiding social gatherings to working from home, the world is now doing things no one is really used to. Sure, all of us have taken a day or two to work from home when we had some errands to run, but we have never experienced being confined to our homes as a necessity, before this.

Schools are being shut until further notice and offices have asked their employees to work from home in order to contain the infection and not have it spread any further. However, not all of us are used to sitting at home and getting office work done. Plenty of people are sharing their experiences about the same. Some have tips to share, while some have jokes to crack.

Well, if there is one common sentiment out there, it is the fact that people are loving not having to meet their colleagues every day. (I am not implying anything!). It is a big change - from being surrounded by people all the time in the office, to working from home absolutely alone.
I used to think it sucks to #workfromhome because I love the funny interactions with my work mates every day (if you follow me on IG, you'd know our jokes and stuff I occasionally share on IG stories), but after doing it for a week, it's not bad after all.

Jokes aside, there are also kind people out there who are sharing tips on how to make a suitable work station so that none of us suffer from other problems while trying to stay away from one. It is a known fact that back problems are one of the biggest problems office-goers face, and imagine working from home where you don't even have a proper set-up. Half of us lazy asses are most probably just hanging from our beds and couches in order to get work done.
OMG you guys! you all may be safe from the coronavirus but I foresee lots of back problems in the near future

My #workfromhome setup. CO2 sensor makes sure air quality is fine, phone for on-call alerts, mic and cam for headset-free video calls, iPad+Pencil for collaborative whiteboarding, and a single 4K screen to reduce stress on the eyes and keep me focused. #SwitchToRemote pic.twitter.com/YgldHSeXac

This has also brought the opportunity for people to get creative with their home work stations, because let's admit it, most of us don't even have a desk at home! So, the other half who does not want to have chronic backache forever, is trying to come up with jugaadu ideas so that they have makeshift desks till they return to their actual place of work.

Of course, there is no end to the jokes around the same and people are taking to Twitter to give people a good laugh, while being stuck in this pandemic.
