How frowned-upon would it be if I spent a week working from home at my vacation home in another state? My firm has said we won’t be back to work anytime soon, and my internet is great there...

Where are you currently? Me and my wife went to the in laws lake house for five days a few weeks ago, but made sure we brought all of our food. We’re located in DC and this lake house is very rural.

Why not work there full time? The first question we ask on internal calls for our team is "so, what state are you working from, today?"

Normally I have to be at the client site, so I was worried once the client opens back up I’ll have to race back to them. Worst case scenario I’ll just pack quickly

You just worked from home for 2 months, I can't imagine how fucked up the situation would have to be where I tell my Manager/Partner, "hey sorry I can't be back for a few days, I was working from a different place" and their response is "Thats unacceptable, you must be here tomorrow. Work from Home is Cancelled and no longer allowed."

I am at vacation home deep in the mountains. Works well

Don't ask don't tell ?

Who cares

Unless it’s in Michigan where the Governor bans travel between person residences, you should be fine!

Go!

No one cares. If your timesheets specify a location for tax purposes, make sure you update that. That’s the only thing that would cause a problem for our folks.

Why would they care/how would they know?

Anyone else having WFH fatigue? I had been traveling weekly for business the last 20+ years, but the last 3 months at home has been personally challenging. I love my wife and 3 boys — but I need some “alone time” which I used to have when traveling. Sometimes I get in my car and go for a drive but it’s not enough. Seems like this WFH is the new working model for the future. Anyone else feel this way?

Q for the WFH home office pros.. What's the best way to set up a station if I would like 2 external monitors for my laptop (have 1 monitor rn but plan to purchase another), but I also have a desktop pc that I would like to be able to switch my monitors to when not on my laptop?
With my current setup of 1 monitor, I have to unplug the hdmi from the laptop and plug to the desktop each time I need to use the desktop, but it's not convenient so want to see if there's a convenient way to set this up?
