    shh don't tell anyone.. but even though I am *supposed* to be working from home - I didn't actually DO any work on most of the days..  OK, I knew that I'd be inclined to be like that, but what I didn't anticipate was.... that even though I have an *assigned* task - answering the team's inbox, my colleagues kept sneaking on and answering the emails... That surprised me as they have their own tasks... what surprised me too was that I actually *did* care that they were stealing my work..

    Only having one computer screen to work with. SO DIFFICULT AND I HATE IT SO MUCH. That’s about it.

      I noticed the same thing. They issued us all laptop computers, but the screen is so small that it doesn’t even closely compare to what I’m used to us in the office. Also, just like you, the single screen is nerve-wracking. I tried to hook up my own flatscreen monitor to it, but the software says it’s not compass compatible as a second screen, do it displays the exact same thing as what’s on the laptop, thereby defeating the purpose. Sigh.

    It’s frustrating, much more so than I thought it would be.
