Lol i get accused of looking like a homeless person some days...my record is 8 days unshaven. I do wash every day, but have a wfh 'uniform' of shorts, t shirt and hoodie. Even throughout the winter lol.

I do put my contacts in though and don't wear my glasses. I mean there are standards to uphold <laugh>

Yeah I haven't shaved all week either. Just been eating **** all day too. I'm blagging that I can't get my camera/mic to work for now so I can stick to phonecalls but will probably only get another week out of that.

I don’t see the need for video calls really. What’s wrong with just speaking over a ****ing phone? I don’t care about seeing your face while I talk to you, I also don’t care about having to have 10 calls a day just to see “how you’re doing” because working from home is a challenge

Yeah I'm exactly the same mate, the audio on these things are pretty ****e as well so I end up missing half of what's said anyway.
 
Yep, nice video Saints. The NHS deserves support. And not just applause - are you listening Boris and Co? Proper and continuous FUNDING is what's needed!

We got our own little round of applause yesterday, as we operate in the medical profession and are essential workers. The senior directors came round and applauded us, while wearing masks and latex gloves, of course. We were too.

Waking up this morning I felt pretty crap. I haven't felt really 100% for a few days. My tinnitus has got louder, my chest is a bit tighter, my nose was a bit runny and I had a few pins and needles in places. No temperature actually, but something isn't right. I've felt a big drop in energy levels too and I've sometimes felt on the edge of shivering but not doing so. These feelings come and go. So this morning I rang in and told them. They said, "see you in a week, buddy".

Funnily enough, I don't think this is IT. But even if it isn't, the last thing I need to do is pass anything on. Me not going in could be the difference between someone suffering IT lightly or badly, or maybe even fatally. And if I do have IT, then it's a no-brainer, and I've 100% made the right decision. But then, I have anyway. I actually feel kind of guilty that I don't feel much worse. Does that make sense?

EDIT: And someone I forgot to add. Did anyone hear the radio, I think late yesterday afternoon, on Radio 4, when it was suggested that Covid-19 has been ripping through the UK and Europe for weeks already, but nobody in authority has recognised it. Because a lot of people have been contacting their surgeries about symptoms that tie up with Covid-19, since early January.

I've got a cold with a runny nose, sore throat and a minor headache...a few people I know have it as well, so may not be the dreaded one. Hope you are better soon. :emoticon-0109-kiss:
 
ITV 2 tonight <doh> Well done ITV, very considerate.
