I have my break at the end of the day and use it to leave early. :galaxybrain:

I go in two hours early for quiet no chat time and then skip lunch so I can piss off around half 3 or 4.
The good thing about my place is we do straight 8.30-5, no fucking about. One of my colleagues takes this incredibly literally, though - whereas normal people will go until 5.05 or even, perish the thought, 5.10 if it's worth it to finish a deal or a quote, he will storm out of the room at 5:00:00, no questions asked, even if it means stopping typing mid-sentence. He also refuses to answer the phone after 4.30pm for this reason in case it overruns, which I find pathetic and unprofessional but that's left wing Italians for you.
And then he wonders why he got furloughed and I didn't.

I work my normal hours. I was asked to split a shift to cover some work on the weekend but that didn't involve any extra hours. I just finished early on Friday and finished the shift off on Sunday. Piss.
Was in East London yesterday and social distancing was turned off on a large-scale. Open the fucking clubs.
He’s not wrong in fairness.
On the face-covering laws coming in, I haven't looked at official legislation yet but I'd imagine walking around as below would not be in contravention of them, right? I like the idea as a silent protest.
Peak junior school 'someone farted' move
Yep, although it works.
That's some peak Sancho talk if ever I've heard it.

See instructions for how to make one and PM me a private apology of no less than 150 words by 3pm, you melt.
The Horld Wealth Organization also recommended 0 layers a few months back
WHO guidelines
You have less than 2 hours, RL, I've ensured my PMs are clear.
The cowboy neckerchief pulled up over the face is the way forward, a rootin-tootin way to stop the spread.
The who not recommending something will be forever held against them forever more.
If that were their only fuck up in all this one could be a tad more forgiving, but it was far from their only one.
I wouldn't be surprised if the reason some of the people who recommended against masks initially did so because they know people are retarded toddlers and they'd only put up with wearing them for a short period of time, so they saved it up as a measure for later.
They’d be affecting peoples mental health within a week.
I saw someone claim they had an exemption from wearing one due to anxiety the other day.
The behavioural scientists donning it again.
I see the new thing is doing a fun quiz to find out and share your 'COVID age'
We went to Peppa Pig World this weekend and the Covid precautions are just box ticking pretence at this point.
Nobody was wearing masks (ourselves included) bar a few staff members.
They had 'virtual queues' for the busiest rides, but this just leads to an informal queue near the actual queue.
I've had less intimate sexual encounters than some of the queues and all of them have lasted less time.
No details were taken at any point. I easily spent 20 minutes+ in the company of strangers. How is track and trace meant to notify me/them if someone gets Covid?
It pretty much felt like business as usual to me.
Having been involved in several cricket matches now, no matter how well you try and do these things, strict social distancing just is not a realistic policy at all. It's completely against the essence of human nature.

Now you can track and trace whilst you isolate.

The Oxford Vaccine works (atleast partialy)
With that and the promising new treatments everybody under seventy ought to just be allowed to chance it before long.
Typical tory twat. I've had to +4 to my COVID age cause I'm a muzzy and another +2 cause I take my Nando's extra hot so I'll be fucked if I'm leaving my house for anything other than restocking up my sourdough starter.
I won't be needing either of them. I meant for the losers who can't see it off naturally.
The vaccine has been shown to produce an antibody response. The link we need to make, and has yet to be determined, is whether production of antibodies confers protection to the wild virus.
It's promising, though. I'd expect it to be approved before the end of the year.
It was that the manelets are at higher risk.
I can't wait for the Russian one to come out months ahead of the rest. Like that Concorde they made that had no brakes.
I work during the evenings and over the weekend (dipping in and out of emails, etc). I did this before and after lockdown. I don't think I could ever just shut off at 5.30pm. I guess it might depend on the job role and industry.
Does your strict approach to work/life balance affect chances of promotion? Or are you not bothered by all that?
I lied about having symptoms to get a test last weekend, since we're going to visit my grandma. That shit is unpleasant.
