Remember when the pandemic first hit, and we thought working from home would be a temporary thing?
Well, here we are, two years on from when it first hit our borders, in our homes.
With the escalating Omicron outbreak, ACT chief minister Andrew Barr encouraged Canberrans to work from home in a bid to lower the risk of positive cases across the capital.
While some of us have set up our at-home offices with dedicated workspaces, some are just getting by.

You can almost imagine yourself in your sweatpants all day while fumbling your fingers across the keyboard at work.
