probably one for someone living in France but what sort of jobs are peeps still going out to do that they can't do remotely?
Getting very frustrated by remote working, peeps in London can't believe that we live in an area that can't get fibre broadband. Plus going through hoops to actually get to be in front of my work PC with all its programmes I need rather than just glorified chat rooms
Gardening, garage services for two. I would also say removals but those are a grey area because they are being actively discouraged. With all the tightening of restrictions some things have eased as well. I am going back to work tomorrow doing gardening jobs for retired old ladies. The only difficult bit will be going into the office to get the necessary authorisation. The boss could have mailed it to me but didn't want to for some reason (probably forgotten how to attach a document to a mail
). The removals, flat clearances and bed lice elimination is all on hold for the time being.
There are in fact quite a lot of jobs that can't be done over the net. On the other hand there are also those who are simply ill-equipped; my daughter is still walking up to her office in Dourdan because the server can't permit WFH, even though it's all computer based. She's an asthma sufferer so potentially at risk as well. Ile de France seems to have a different attitude to personal security compared to us in Limousin - could be why they are the centre of the epidemy in France (and spreading it to other areas).
edit 18h21: I've received the mail with the authorisations (two of them). Will still have to have the originals from the office tomorrow but at least I'm covered. Sorry Boss
