Working from home to-do list.

"The days of 'herding cats' are over: my friends and I meet through video-conferencing now..."

"Your difficulty communicating how you really feel, is because of your inherent inability to display complex emotion."

'We know it makes you happy, but your father and I think you're spending too much time on the computer.'

'Is it just me, or is it REALLY temperate in here?'

"Everyone's so nosy. They act like they want to be left along, but they're always nonchalantly eavesdropping on everyone else....some more nonchalantly than others."

"It's lunchtime! Have you finished saying 'Good Morning' on your WhatsApp Groups?"

'Last night Gary put me in an impossible position.'

"Not another virtual tour of your apartment, OK?"

Video Chat with Dad from his new smart phone.

'This wine speaks for itself.' 'Howdy!'

"We're having a hard time hearing you - take it off squeaker."

Basic greeting cards.

"I realise you're used to talking to me on the chat line, but would you mind not moving your fingers like you're typing everytime you say something."

"Can you turn your video on, Ralph?"

"I'd love to chat longer, but I've got to get this guy to a hospital."
