Working from home can feel pretty lonely. Even though we have the ability to already work from home if we want, it’s nice to go outside and talk to other people every day so we mostly work from the office.

When the quarantine happened, all communication abruptly ended and now I work from home all the time.

I thought it’d be lonely but turns out, I still have co-workers and these guys have no sense of boundaries. Let me vent about them for a second, okay?

When is he *not* eating? Why am I sitting here writing scripts and organizing spreadsheets when he can just sit around and snack?

I didn’t mind when I had snacks, too, but this guy is definitely gloating. At least share with the rest of the company!

Yeah, yeah, we heard that joke the last four times, Fred. You’re a web developer- har har.
