So how much stuff have you looted from your office for your extended work from home
-
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'm space limited and have had to turn my kitchen table into a second desk. :sigh:
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.

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:

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.

why did you not take his car?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

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

I always have a spare mouse in the bagpack because I am the one going to the machines, and new versions of my mainly used software rely a lot in the mouse (before I could do 95% of my job only using keyboard, today is impossible) I just borrowed a keyboard today because my spare one wa a present to my mother in law when she bought a lappie, and I am going to work 75% at home next weeks. Once done and back in the company in daily basis, it will go back to the office. Nothing else. Actually the other way around, I am using my own monitor and, as I am going to renew my equipment in near future (pc, 2x new monitors or maybe 3x...), I am planing to buy an used docking station to make my life more comfortable if I work at home in the future. But I have seen people taking monitors and other big devices from the office.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Ours too. I only took my salt lamp light and my headset. At home, I have an equivalent setup already, so nothing else was needed. And I already had my personal laptop set up with all the codez and viri protectors and VPN and local sandbox DB's, so most of the time I'm not even connected to the VPN.

That sounds a lot like "When I was arrested, I was told that anything I said would be held against me. I tried to say 'Raquel Welch', but it didn't work". (Sorry, I don't remember who made that joke. I am sure someone can fill me in on it.)

I looted that ass hat boss of mine like there's no tomorrow (because that could actually be true). I took his laptop, screens, docking station, even his apples! That bastard will have nothing left, but I don't care. Let him crawl and suffer and beg for his stuff. Also, I'm self employed :)

Wow. That's quite a bit of stuff. I brought home a couple GB of data and an application or two, all fitting nicely on my thumb drive. I also brought home a USB device about the size of a thumb drive that we developed in-house. I needed it for some debugging that doesn't work over the network.
