Well, the office closed down. Looks like I’m WFH for the next 6+ weeks. I’m one day in and already have cabin fever. Any tips on how to stay sane/active-ish while practicing social distancing?

Start a workout program. If you have kids 3-5 years old have them wear their backpacks containing filled water bottles. It helps tire them out faster. 6 years and older establish a point based class system based on chores accomplished and over all demeanor. The system resets every morning to keep it interesting. Alcohol, board games, Prime over a giant LEGO set, learn magic, become a member of the flat earth society, troll the internet.. The internet is a wealth of knowledge, get an online degree, become a notary, learn a new language, TP someone’s house - huge flex right now. Start a diary or video blog. Actually scratch that last idea it would be evidence in the event your stircrazyness takes a turn for the worst.

You can go for walks outside. Just don’t touch anything or go in anywhere

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
