Working from home (..and garden)
Working from home (..and garden)
Of the privations being asked of the nation during Lockdown, I have to say I really like the working-from-home one. I’m that little bit more productive, am far more relaxed and possibly more organised than I would be at the office. I’m lucky that I have the sort of job which can be done from the moon (given decent wi-fi) but without our posture-correcting chairs and resident DSE assessor, I’ve found my posture has suffered. So, given I’m not about to spend hundreds of pounds on an desk which raises and lowers, I’m improvising.
The weather is nice enough at the moment to work from in the seating area we built out of the garage the other year but the garden furniture isn’t comfortable to sit in for a full day, so I’ve built a little wooden stand for my works laptop. The wires reach, I can get a decent wi-fi signal and my back starts to thank me almost immediately. Keeping paperwork from flying off is a little more challenging and having only one screen isn’t ideal but for now, it’ll do for me. If this becomes a long term thing, I’m sure I’ll think of something better.
