For fun, If you are working from home and have kids

[Anchored]

Tell me what your kids are doing right now, but call them your "coworkers"

My coworkers do not understand social distancing. They keep coming in my personal space and asking for snacks like I am the vending machine. Go away!

My coworkers have been sleeping all day. Lazy bums. They should be fired.

One of my coworkers is sequestered in her office doing on-line courses, and the other just bicycled to a grocery store to get a new XBox live subscription (and get out of the office) because he wants to play video games during the day!

One of my coworkers is finally taking a shower and getting ready for her day like she's a lazy teenager or something.

My other coworker doesn't seem to want to do anything but play video games all day.

And I really need to start labelling my food in the break room fridge because they're eating everything! And of course not cleaning up after themselves. You'd think I worked with children!

Yes! my coworkers keep leaving their cups everywhere. I want to scream!

My 5 year old coworker is literally jumping up and down as he plays a Star Wars video game, and my 7 year old has completed her work for the day and is aimlessly wandering the house in a onsie. I'm so jealous.

My coworker ran into my office while I was speaking on a national call to announce “she had to potty”...oddly I’ve had regular coworkers say something similar not on mute before too (and not as cute as potty).

My coworkers keep wasting time on their phones and they aren't getting enough of their work done! Management is going to remove their phones tomorrow.

My coworker is constantly hungry. I asked if she ate this much at her old office, she said no.

I think our cafeteria is reducing hours of operation soon.

My coworker slept until 12:30 today and then had his dad come pick him up. Now he apparently isn’t coming back to the office until Monday. I hope he doesn’t expect to be paid for this..

My coworker punched in just after 8 am. They had a very productive day and managed to finish all of the paperwork they didn't get finished yesterday, in addition to the work they were assigned today. They were very motivated by the prospect of finishing early and being able to play Legend of Zelda on the Switch. They are currently watching Netflix while they are on the treadmill. If only I could be half as productive as they were. My tasks seem to be Sisyphean in nature. It doesn't matter what I do, there is always more to be done.

My coworker just threw himself on the floor & threw a tantrum when I told him we had to wait to go outside.

I just watched a Youtube video on Jimmy Kimmel. For me, it's hilarious because my one son is "trying" to work from home with my 2 and 1 year old grand children.

My co-worker this morning had quite the attitude when the boss reprimanded her and took away "vacation time" (aka electronics) for not finishing duties that were supposed to be completed by the end of business last night. Boss put the hammer down! Too bad she can't get a raise.

 

[FigmentFinder]

My co-worker is playing music loudly. It's a medly of tunes from the Disney Channel.

 

[Bianca and Bernard]

I've seen my 16 year old co-worker twice this morning. Once when he came out for lunch (TACOS!!!!) and once when he came out to request a supply order (his Oculus Rift cord was chewed on by his cat).

My boss* has come out to eat lunch, and to complain about our FedEx delivery (or lack thereof). He called me his secretary...I get his coffee, his meals, his mail and his supplies; answer his phone calls (not work ones, just all the others) and type up documents for him. I told him I better get flowers on Secretary's day, then.

My itty bitty furry interns are all put out, as the boss and co-worker are in today (and for the foreseeable future), interrupting their naps on said boss/co-workers chairs and desks, and shutting doors that they are used to having open during the day while they are racing about.

My 13 year old "coworker" does not appreciate that I actually listed both an education plan along with life skills (cooking some meals, laundry, learning trip planning, etc.) for each day of the week. She still has plenty of time for video chats with friends, gaming, etc. but now she's helping more around the house.

My coworker is always wanting food. While taking a bath last night, my coworker yelled down to me and asked what’s for lunch the next day.

We have one operating bathroom right now (very unfortunate time for a stalled bathroom renovation). We have me, my wife, and 2 kids here now 24/7. This morning there was a conversation that went something like this:

Employee 1: "Can you please just let him be in the bathroom? You didn't have to go until he announced he did! You can hold it."
Employee 2: "But.. but.. I really, really have to go!"
Employee 1: "I'll tell him to hurry it up a bit, but you sure didn't have to go 2 minutes ago. Number 1 or number 2?"
Employee 2: "Number-1.. but why does he always use the bathroom when I really have to go?"
Employee 1: "Honey.. you are an adult.. they are your children.. just let your son go potty please, he'll be done in a minute."
Me: "Ok.. fine.." <pouty lip>
