Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Our wings are not tired.

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.

Ooh, I should go see a movie with myself tomorrow! Maybe I could make it my reward for getting my flu shot. And then I could go to the grocery and buy lots more berries and cheese, because when does anyone ever have enough berries and cheese?

My first ever job was in a Japanese company, so it was all very open space, egalitarian, etc. The only difference between the desk belonging to the young man who was heir to the throne and head honcho of all things North American and mine was that his faced the open office with his back to the wall, and mine, like everyone else's, faced his. So there was one long line of the presidents and department heads and whatnot, facing into the room, and everybody else's desk faced theirs. No walls, just desks. Filing cabinets along the walls. There was even a long window along one wall into the manufacturing area.

I didn't mind, though, because I didn't know any better. Plus I'm inherently nosy.

Now I have a super nice office room (with a closeable, lockable door, not that I need it) and the SO has his studio. We both love our spaces very much. Mine is usually a wreck, but it's near pristine right now because the SO reorged it for me, bless his heart, while I was gone.

But yeah, right now I'm totally hanging out in front of the fire with my laptop. Although I'm not working at the moment.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Watch backup. Which would be, I don't know, a sundial.

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.

I am apparently the opposite of most of you. I have a big desk, with laptop docking station, phone with headset, printer/scanner, etc. And that's where I usually work from. Occasionally I'll work from bed, or the couch, but generally I don't get much done like that.

Yeah, when I work at home, I do it from the dining room table.

Dang, there has been a city bus surrounded by first cop cars, then metro police , then metro police AND cop cars at the end of my alley (on the main street) for the past 2 HOURS, at least. Wonder what the hell happened.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When I was working from home, I went between the sofa and a table, depending. But I wasn't really full-time and it was only six months. If I were really working from home, I'd need a stricter routine.

I work from home most Wednesdays, usually from the sofa.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Scary, sarameg.

Man, I slept reasonable last night, and napped today, and I'm still already ready for bed. I realize the past 5 nights of 5 hours was insufficient, but still.

Also, I'm super glad that someone said something about plans for tomorrow, because I completely spaced that I had booked a lunch date with a friend!

So no movie for me, but it will be a fun day anyway.
