Work From Home (WFH) Thread - March 16th, 2020

I suspect many of you are, like me, working from home today and in the near future. I thought that it might be nice to have a single thread where we can chat about WFH and our day to day lives while self-isolating in order to feel a bit less isolated. If people think this kind of thing is a good idea, perhaps this can be a daily (or weekly o_o) thread.
Feel free to talk about:
- Day to day life at home
- What's on your agenda for work
- Your thoughts on self-isolating and quarantine.
- Casual talk that you might normally have with coworkers .
- Anything else! (Though of course, the rest of the site still exists)
I personally tend to get more work done while working from home as there are less interruptions in the form of meetings and informal breaks. So in a weird way I'm looking forward to this time in order to get quite a bit done. Still, it's hard not to get cabin fever.
How are you all doing?
