A few months after I was diagnosed, the place I was working allowed me a trial return to work, working from home. It didn't work out - I was still unable to complete the work in a timely manner - but before they allowed it, the sent a person out to examine my home working environment. Not only the desk and the chair had to be good, the lighting was important, the work area had to be free from obstacles, and I needed fast access to first aid and a fire extinguisher. Apparently, if there are any accidents or injuries while working from home, the employer is still responsible.
Cheers,

Similar here, but in practice you just fill in the form and for the rest you do what you want. (of course you need to do the actual work)

Sounds like you are complaining about a simple request.
Take the damn picture, shut up about it, and enjoy working from home.
Also, I work from home full-time...I took the picture.

The question is.... were you or were you not wearing pants when you took the picture of your desk?

|
|
|
 Yes

I can't work at home at all - I'd give them even my naked photos if thet was required to work from home.

I've done that. They sent me home immediately.

So that's the trick, all I need is a selfie stick!

Sorry.

We warned you that you should first wait for them to ask for the pictures before sending any.

How silly. One could get such a picture from anywhere. Incomplete solution it is. The complete solution would be:
1. Provide a Rental/Lease/Ownership agreement containing the address for your home.
2. Search that address in maps and attach screenshots clearly showing the Lat-Long for the house.
3. While taking picture ensure that GPS tagging of picture is enabled.
4. Two witnesses clearly visible in the picture along with a declaration that they will be held accountable if the pic was not taken at home.
5. Specification of lock on the door so that the kids and wife can be kept out of the room while working from home.
There you have the complete solution. Please propose this to the respective team. Tell them - Either this or nothing.

I appreciate your attention to detail and your thoroughness.

I can work from home at my current place. When we ring in to say we are working from home it's generally accepted that this is a code for "I'm too hungover to come into work today, I'm going back to bed and may answer some emails when I wake-up". Nobody expects us to actually work. I'm so going to miss this place.

The work is yes. I'm not no.
They're closing UK in March so will be out of work. I use to work flexi hours anyway, so I could take the kids to school, but since theyve announced this I've been turning up when I want. They've got rid of all my Malaysians and English so I'm now in charge of a team based solely in Maexico. And they dont start till 2pm my time, so, in my opinion but not my boses, I dont really need to be here that early. 
Last night we had a lock in at the pub, didnt get home till just before 3am. Rolled into work at 11.30am.
Just dont know how I'm going to cope in my next job which is going to expect me in the same time everyday. I haven't even set an alarm clock for 7 years. When people I don't work with ask me what time I start work? They don't believe me when I say an hour after I wake-up. Buts it true.

~ just chemistry dancing
these atoms that wandered into being me,
appearing to stay together for a reason
that apparently involves genes, and sex,
more than any metaphysical hypothetical:
here it is, a language of all-dried-out
eviscerating the moist wrinkles of love
as it celebrates its own surgical skill
so, what poets and fools get up or down
to, sweeping the reality of atoms under
fantastically patterned rugs of fantasy;
what the frolics of oohs, aahs, and ohs,
that murmuring choirs of flesh on flesh
chant to embellish the primate guttural:
stripped naked's just chemistry dancing

«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

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.

"Sex" and "all-dried-out" don't rhyme.

I rather like that.
Reminds me a little bit of when Kurt Vonnegut said that if we could only view each other as walking test-tubes we'd all understand each other a whole lot better. I think it was in Breakfast of Champions.
Slogans aren't solutions.

While I am not into that poetry thing, I appreciate the attempt of keeping the number of chars on each line almost constant.
