Our wings are not tired.

We've had all in individual offices, all in an open office, and variations through the years. We hated it when we were all isolated. I'm the only one with my own office now. It is more a factor of the office layout than anything. I would work from home more if I didn't have my own space though.

Some day I want a big office and one of those huge wood two sided desks to share with DH. We shared an office for years. The major downside being that he talks really loud on the phone. Collaboration is improved with the shared space in my experience, but co-worker craziness is much harder to ignore or avoid.

When I worked in Oakland, our office had the high cube walls. People could always find my office by looking for the blow up palm tree that rose above the cube farm.

I work with one person in my current office, so the palm tree is in a drawer. I could easily give up my cube as I only use it once or twice a month. And I've found my need to print is minimal.

The only paperwork I have in my cube is one pile I paper I can't get rid of due to pending legal stuff and another pile that is some reference stuff that I probably could dump.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My walls are key--for pictures of the Winchesters, and also for information I need to be able to rattle off or refer to constantly that is too much for my dual monitor setup, even. Also to keep people from seeing my eyes when they glaze over or tear up.

I have a conviction that they baffle sound, but I have no real idea if it's significant. And, seriously, if I could see some of these people more, I might go all msbelle and cut a bitch.

Som--home office workers, what does your office look like? Technically my company is supposed to assess my work layout, and if they needed info, I'd take pictures of my desk in my bedroom with the desktops on it.

In reality, I'm curled up on my cuddle lounge (ergonomic schmergonomics) with three laptops (one on the lap) and multiple other devices.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

When I work from home, 99.8% of the time I'm on the couch in my same butt groove as always, with the laptop (and probably a cat trying to steal heat from the laptop).

This is my work from home mode too. Though there are usually two cats vying for human contact and laptop heat.

For me to be an official tele-worker, I need to provide pictures of a desk with an ergonomic chair and a nearby outlet with a surge protector. If I end up going that route, I'll take pictures at CJ's desk. His chair is actually a fancy ergonomic chair from my old office.

If wearing watches was a thing I did, I'd like to do it like this: [link]

In other news, why do some people insist that coming into their line of sight is not just permission for them to put their opinions about you into your space, it's a near responsibility. Because it's boolean--you're either home alone, and doing whatever for yourself, or you're outside your house and therefore ever Tom, Jerk, or Harry gets to weigh in with anything. It's not that it could happen some other guy might do it...it's that it will happen, because, dammit, you gave him the right to it, and rights should not go unexercised.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am making dorkishly elaborate plans to see a movie with myself tomorrow afternoon. We'll see if I make it!

Yesterday, I had both laptops in front of one of my red chairs and had good posture.

Today I lay on the couch and employed an ergonomic heated wrist-rest (aka Loki) and was firmly held in place with a safety harness (Devi across my ankles.)

I have an office with desk at home, but more often I am in comfy chair with feet up on coffee table and laptop in lap. Or at outside table with laptop. Sometimes I go to the office when I need to focus and other times I go home if I need focus. It could be just a change of scene is required.
