    My boss said we could take whatever we needed to work effectively from home. In addition to my laptop, I took the nicer of my two monitors (the other one is no better than my home spare so I just left it). I thought I had a decent amount of loot, and really have about all I can make use of, but found out this morning that several of my coworkers loaded desks and wheelie chairs into their trucks last week. :omg:

    Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

      Nothing at all. Either I'm far too honest for my own good, or ... I already own all of it. Ah, yes. It's the second one. :-O

            We have fancy TP (Charmin?) at work. I never knew you could buy it in a half cubic yard sized economy box until I had a look in the supply closet.

                        took nothing from work. (few months back I brought in an old radio, been considering dumping a couple of older LCD monitors I have that are better then some other people are using.) they even offered everyone cans of disinfectant spray, I told them to give mine to the factory workers. not because I'm a nice guy (well yeah I am), but because the reaction is so disproportionate to the reality it's just annoying. and - a week later they shut down the factory coz cant get materials so them factory workers are all sat at home on forced holidays - likely mostly unpaid. - couple of can's of spray wont make a difference for me - probably would have sat around under the sink or similar unused till I got sick of the sight of them and threw them in the garbage recycling.

                          I'm still going into the office currently, because my employer is considered, "essential." If my dept got the go-ahead to work from home, there's nothing I'd need to take, beyond the laptop. I've already made an investment in a comfy working space at home; a school leftover.

                                I took 2 23" widescreen monitors and a docking station. I also took the keyboard which is already my own personal keyboard. The funny thing is that when I grabbed my stuff and was loading it in my truck I was expecting the police to stop by. Mainly because the station is quite literally across the street from the office and it was dark out and there were no other cars in the parking lot. From a passer-by's perspective that definitely would look suspicious. :-D

                                  I already have a laptop I am supposed to use - am using it right now. The only extra thing was the docking station which allows me to add two external monitors (I have better ones at home than at my office) so that's working out OK.

                                  - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                                    My boss said we could take whatever we needed to work effectively from home. In addition to my laptop, I took the nicer of my two monitors (the other one is no better than my home spare so I just left it). I thought I had a decent amount of loot, and really have about all I can make use of, but found out this morning that several of my coworkers loaded desks and wheelie chairs into their trucks last week. :omg:

                                        My work laptop, a development board, a couple of set-top boxes (writing software for them), an external hard disk, and assorted cables. I could have taken a couple of monitors, but I don't really have room for them in my home study.

                                          Nothing in particular for this... 1. I brought my keyboard and trackball home, but they are mine- this way I don't need to snag the identical set from my personal equipment. 2. Docks I already snagged- "hard" dock for older Dells came in handy as my SO got an older Dell to work from home with. USB-C docks from my last Dell work perfectly fine with my Thinkpad... if not better than the Thunderbold III monster I use at work
