quimby Mar 2020 5:42pm, 27 Mar 2020 4,513 posts	Quote Pin quimby When we went out for our walk at lunchtime, I failed to notice that I hadn't rolled down my trouser cuffs. I turn them up twice when in the house, so when I do my work breaks with a few mins on the treadmill, they don't scuff on it. Feel a bit of a twat.

Jenelopy Mar 2020 5:48pm, 27 Mar 2020 541 posts	Quote Pin Jenelopy OH and I are both working from home now (and for the next 4 weeks I guess). OH always works form home (self employed computer geek), so I am in what is usually his office. Everything is fine until I have skype/phone/video calls or meetings meetings. Apparently I talk too loudly for his noise cancelling headphones. Although I can warn him when I have a meeting (and he can go and do the washing up or have a shower or something), I can't predict when someone will call me. I suspect there isn't a magic solution, except for me to talk more quietly, and OH to be more patient, but does anyone have any ideas? (I have headphones, so it is just my end of the call that is a problem)
