I'm glad to see you are dressed at least.
El Jefe smirked on my screen.
As part of the Covid-19 mass panic, everyone in our office was working from home. El Jefe had decided to rouse the morale of his troops by dropping in via video call to everyone under his command.
Now it was my turn.
Yes, indeed. I had a bit of trouble choosing which underpants to wear but eventually settled on the red ones with the chillis on them.
I smiled in return at my most illustrious boss.
El Jefe grimaced like a young boy eating over-boiled carrots at the thought of my magnificent walloper sheathed in chilli designs.
I wondered if he liked it spicy?
Right, enough of the pants talk. We aren't going down that road again.
El Jefe looked away to the side before snapping his face back to the screen.
He looked to be in a kitchen.
Inwardly, I snorted. Amateur. Working from home in a kitchen indeed.
He should take a leaf out of my book and perch himself in front of a bookcase or two. That is how you do it. It lends a certain gravitas when video conferencing even if half the books on the shelf behind my head seem to be about vaginas and womanhood.
It is important that we don't lose focus. Even in these trying times. Have you got enough work to do?
El Jefe made a munging kind of face.
Yes, Boss Man. I have plenty to be getting on with. Have no fear on that score.
I sighed and waved a notebook in the general area of the screen.
Ok. And you have managed to get enough done, working from home? This is the new normal for the foreseeable future. It is important that we support you to continue to be productive. To give you the right tools at the right time you need them.
El Jefe's eyes were fixed off to the side again.
I had a funny feeling he was reading from a script.
Yes, Boss-man. I have actually been very productive. In fact, I have found myself getting loads done.
I smiled reassuringly at the Jefemeister.
Ok. If you need me for anything just call me. Ok?
Ok.
Ok, bye.
Ok.
I disconnected the call. The sheer volume of Ok's were making my left testicle ache.
I nodded happily to myself. El Jefe had nothing to fear on the productivity front. I was getting loads done. The bolognese was simmering, my bread was baking in the oven and I had managed a solid half-hour of Guitar practice.
I could get used to this.
Oh, if I could only work from home!!! Some kids get all the luck! I am sure you miss El Jeffe and hope you get back to work soon!
Some of the Restaurants are offering free delivery for a while.
All I can think is that if you won't come to their place and get the coronavirus, they will bring it to you!
Glad you are safe at home and you need to take a walkabout down to the liquor store so you don't get thrombosis.
Upped and Steemed

Every time Amazon delivers a parcel I wash my hands like a bastard thinking they have given me it!!
Working from home is fab but I am not moving about much and worry that I will get DVT!!!!
You should be taking walks or jumping on a treadmill every day. If you don't/can't, rotate your ankles and feet in place so they don't swell and circle them in place. :)
Working from home would be great! I wish I could!!!!
Haha! I feel the same way about Amazon! Where have those hands been? What did they touch. I mean seriously.
Yikes, right?
!tip .20
Wow, does tipi work here? They have bought everything over!
I try and do a combination of things. I will either come out of this a buffed Greek gods or a hippo, lol
Haha! OMG!!! Well, I suppose you are right and I am sure the good lady will make sure you don't go to Hippo status.
I bow down to Greek Gods. ;)
We will all get through this, a little drunker, a little fatter and with a little more appreciation for life. Betcha by golly... Have a great Sunday.
You and the family stay safe!

Hahaha a pretty funny post @meesterboom. I've been LoLing all the way until the end. But that "left testicle ache" remark simply was too much as to think to stop the laughter to breath again a little.
I suspect you must be more dangerous than Covid-19 on this regard. ;p
Hopefully as dangerous as that mutt!!! :0D
Oh yeah! your El jefe will be highly proud of you. ;o)
Yeah, be will be wanting to see the colour of my pants!!!
Well... maybe not, because everyone knows you only wear underpants in the most strident pink dyes.
Hehe, oh no. Sometimes bright reds too!!
Those in red also have Hello Kitty ornaments embroidered?
Zoe made the long drive up the coast from Georgia yesterday, her mall shut down for '10' days, but she's getting paid even if it extends...she hasn't had more than 2 days off in a row in over a year and being the store manager works a lot of 12 hour days- needless to say she is not boohooing over the circumstances at the moment 😆
Haha, you got to take them opportunities!!
:0)
Damn! I hate working from home! I am still trying to be out and about but they are not only closing my favorite curry places but also every damn sitting areas!
World War Z must be real! That's all I am saying!
Oh bloody hell. Not the curry houses!! Thats my favourite food.
I am working from home now too and I am worried I will get deep vein thrombosis because I hardly move. Whereas when I am in the office I am up and down all the time!
Virus or no Virus, this thing will eat us alive, I am telling you!
One way or another!!!! :OD
The times I have seen those books on the shelf while you are vlogging us about a 1/10 Booms beer that tastes like swine-water.. and I never zoomed in to take a closer look!
It's because the first bookcase is shared between me and the Good Lady so she has lots of weird vagina birthing nonsense behind my head!
Makes me look urbane and 21st century though, I am sure of it :OD
Yeah, you're getting away with that look 😊
Hehe, I like the headphones. Might never take them off!! :0D
I have a pair or two with a selection of fruits and vegetables - aren't we the cool kids!?
The books, and especially the play-doh pots, gratitas maximus!
It's all about that gravitas!!!
I think fancy pants are the 21st century version of exotic ties. Lol!!!
Not a fan of ties, much prefer pink cherry boxers :D
It has to be chillies!!
Oh alright then, pink cherry boxers are fine too. Lol
Generally aiming for the most obnoxious - so i can kid myself that they are the reason for the laugh! :D
Hahaha, I pretend there can be no other reason!!

Welcome to my world. Its not too bad. The days fly by anyways...
J and a few of his workmates were saying they were never going back in to work as they're loving working from home XD
It does have its advantages despite being weird as feck!
I came wait till we meet in person and you present yourself to be for the invagination.
I should wear protection though. You seem a little dirty
I've had a lot of fun with you.
I like toying with idiots. Especially those who beg for others to help them.
I am slightly bored now though. So consider this my fond kiss farewell.

How come you get all the fun ones who don't take their tablets?
Lol. This one is a cracker!
I think they are drawn to my handsomosity!
