Home Office

Yup, working from home now. New digs, new job, new mess. I'll forever have a hopeless mess of some sort that isn't cleaned up or organized. I've converted my bedroom into a combo bedroom/office and so far so good. Lugged the filing cabinet up, dad built me new shelves, things are coming into place. My only disappointment is that I didn't have time to paint the walls first because at this point getting it arranged to paint is more trouble than it will be worth. That's what we have cool lights and pictures for though right? Plus how am I expected to be able to match a wall color to a dresser that is teal and bronze and curtains that are maroon lace? It would be an act of futility.

The true highlight to working from home though isn't rolling our of bed for the two step commute to my desk but the ability to stop working when I have nothing to do and start again when I can focus, at ANY time of the day. No one cares when you're writing up quotes to filling in spreadsheets when it's just you at your computer. Now I can drink too much coffee until I'm so over caffeinated I can't function, take a break to climb in the basement and eat lunch (yup, climbing wall in the basement, you can be jealous) and still be back on my computer to answer emails during "normal" business hours.

Don't worry though, you can ask me again in 6 months if I'm still as productive as I think I am now ;)
