Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I'm finding it easier/faster to work on a C: drive and then copy what I've finished across the VPN to network drives in the evenings when I'm zoning out in front of the TV. Last night I was watching One Man, Two Guvnors from the National Theatre though, so rather than cripple my bandwidth I've got two day's worth to copy across tonight.

Yes. Counting down till I can have my next snack and till I need to do my next screen refresh.

I can only access the network out of office hours (not enough capacity for everyone to work from home at once) so I need to log on over the weekend to get things up to date. Two out of three of the systems I use are cloud based so I can access them, but I can't record time or save emails to the document management system during the week. Would it be bad if I opened the wine before work drinks kick off?

Ha ha, work VPN just kicked me out - automatic time out after 10 hours logged in. I'm not coming back, I am gone, gone, gone...

Not anymore!

What's the point of being the M.D and "working from home" if you can't knock off early on a Friday?

Nice. I was taking a half day or two every week through the summer, but it seems a bit pointless now the weather's closed in. I am never going to use up my allocation this year.
