Just a laptop at the moment. Going to invest in a pair of monitors, keyboard and mouse. Gonna have to ride this one out for quite some time!
What’s your working from home set-up like?

A Mac for work? Hipster freak.
(wouldn’t have anything but apple for home use but their version of Excel makes me sick)
The Mrs has our third bedroom set up so she has three screens at a time to work off if needed. The toughest part of looking after a 4yo lad is trying to tell him that even if Mammy is in her office that sometimes he cant just barge in for a cuddle whenever he wants 
With me being a stay at home parent we are set up well to cope with whatever life throws up over these few months, fingers crossed of course

Like that BBC bloke that started off a massive debate about interracial marriages (sorry MBH) when his 'nanny' walked in to pick up the bairn and it turned out to be his wife

Aye but I log in via Citrix to the works servers and hence have a Microsoft desktop on it
Wew, desktop-ception that mind.
I don't question the magic black box that connects me to work. I just hope for the best.

Cracking and most of what we do is cloud based so I should be grand. I work for a government agency and I’m amazed we haven’t been told to work from home yet although they are trialling it on Tuesday with the entire agency so if that doesn’t chuck up too many issues I’d imagine it’ll be home working for the foreseeable. Shame really as work have loads of bog roll.

Many a time he's sneaked up and I've had to make a dash up the stairs to intervene, unsuccessfully a few times to
If she's on a important call its office door shut and I'm pretty much guard duty patrolling the kitchen

I can regularly work from home anyway so hence fully set up.

Double monitors, wireless keyboard and mouse on a desk in a spare bedroom. Same setup I've been using for years.
Laptop for me. On secondment at the minute so double laptoping. Struggle to be productive from home so in for a tough few weeks I think.
tbh i think that anyone who can work from home hasn't got a proper job.
Hate doing it myself but needs must!
Another bastard thing to charge!
Same. Love my job, happily work until the middle of the evening some nights to get stuff done but that focus doesn’t come as easily at home.
I make graphs and charts and write-up what they say and then present them to other people. Probably not a proper job by most people’s imaginations.

Outside of travel I'm at home working anyway. Got a decent enough set up.
Travelling pretty much suspended so workload naturally will tail off....might crack on with a spot of decorating next week.

I don't like doing it. Haven't got the discipline and get bored easily. Like the buzz of others around me.
