Yummy!

I have some idiot motorcyclists revving up their motorbikes in front of the traffic lights within 10 metres from my house, while I am working from home using Google Meet!!!!!

If you are a motorcyclist and waiting for the lights in a residential area, please be mindful of people using videoconferencing at home nearby as it disturbs people trying to do business or teaching.

The current lockdown is preventing some of us from going to our usual place of work. Please be considerate of excessive noise in residential areas of Auckland.

Anyone else struggling with unnecessary excessive noise while videoconferencing during the day?

I did this last year and it works a treat. Cut off the ear loops from your surgical mask, stick fashion tape (buy from Spotlight or haberdashery stores) along the two outer edges of your mask and stick it to your cheeks so the ear loops aren't in the way of scissors, hair colour and washing. Double sided tape may work, but might not stick long enough. Not a time to be complacent folks. Let's all protect eachother.
