Unexpected Covid-19 Work From Home Issues

so i'm guessing that most are now working from home? it has its difficulties and also some very unexpected moments that happen as a result.

so I was supposed to have started 2 week's leave today but was asked to join a conference call at 9.30am this morning as a handover on some work, with a number of work colleagues

My bf is furloughed for now and so around all the time at the moment which I am enjoying - he's 23 to my 55. This morning after a normal wake up session together, I got up showered and breakfasted, dressed all the usual stuff.

And then sat down at the dining table to my work laptop to log on to a webex with my colleagues - my immediate manager, her boss, and a couple of peers. We were deep in to conversation and I hear the bf rattling around in the kitchen but ignore him.

Then as i'm on a video conference call with half a dozen colleagues I feel him drape himself over me put a mug of tea down and kiss me on the cheek - he looks up and goes 'omg' he hadn't realised work were now using video calls, so there he was having walked in behind me in just boxers full view on my video call. He's pretty hot, so I say myself, muscled and young, and was as near naked as could be.

The conversation on the call stopped for what seemed an eternity - probably just a few seconds - as I realised what just happened and who'd seen it.

my senior manager breaks the silence by saying 'whoa, whos the daddy', my immediate manager laughed and a girl on the call just let out 'he's hot' and then we all just laughed at my embarrassment. And then continued the call.

My bf was so embarrassed but in the end I found it funny, especially with a couple of texts after the call - one saying 'omg your bf is to die for', one saying 'you must be hung' - I ignored them.

But I had a laugh with my bf and we went back to bed and fooled around a bit more.

So anyone else have 'working from home' experiences to share??

That would have been the most interesting work conference. All of mine (usually a bunch of upper management and at least 50 colleagues being told something we could have read in an email) are so boring, have fallen asleep a few times.

interesting is one word, thankfully everyone on the call knew I was gay, a couple had met my bf, though fully clothed. And bless him he was making me a cuppa tea and didn't realise i'd had video calling installed. made for interesting comments after though both from work colleagues and the bf!!

That’s a really good story! I’m working from home too, so I need to be careful when I have to do screen sharing.... make sure there are no porn tabs open lol. I wear a dress shirt for video conferences but have no pants on, just my underwear. Sometimes when meetings get boring, I look at hot colleagues and play with my penis...

thanks bud, taught me a quick lesson!!

like you if I know there's going to be a vid call I at least wear a shirt, but just shorts below - if I started playing with my dick at the same time 1) i'd get no work done 2) the bf might get jealous 3) i'm sure it'd show in my face!!

but you enjoy your play;-)

My husband is just getting on my nerves. I have worked from home for years, so I have a set routine that I stick to. He's interrupted it. He's also gotten demanding which I have no patience with. Every day he asks me what I'm making for breakfast. Every day it's the same answer - I don't normally eat until 10am or so when I'm done with my own work. (I have stomach problems and eating first thing in the morning is unpleasant for me.) Then I get, "Well, I need to eat something."

This annoys me because I am the one who usually cooks dinner, and I have it ready not long after he gets home from work. I do it because I want to, not because I feel obligated to. Him expecting me to make him breakfast just pushes my buttons and I've started telling him I'm not the kitchen bitch. He's finally started to throw things in the microwave for himself in the last few days. We don't do well when we spend 24 hours a day together, and at some point, it's going to blow up. Aside from my regular job, I work one or two days a week at a local family-owned retailer, and I've been asking the owner if I can work more just to get me out of the house. It helps.

Have you talked to him about your overall feelings? You mentioned the kitchen bitch comment.
