Working from Home

Today is the first day of my work-from-home experiment. In an attempt to quell my continuing guilt and anxiety over leaving the little angel at Oz every day of the workweek, I have negotiated a temporary experiment to see if I can remain productive and valuable while sitting on the floor with my baby.

First off, YEAH FOR WIRELESS INTERNET. I am logged into my work network and have already Accomplished Things that would take me an hour at work because I would have to do them after I have first 1) driven there 2) filled water bottle with water located all the way across the floor 3) talked to my co-workers for at least ten minutes 4) fielded three questions or complaints from roving developers and 5) stared longingly at photos of the little angel while silently berating myself for our current need for dual incomes.

The experiment has also made me realize I will have to return to the office having completed at least one major project to which I can point if anyone complains about my physical absence. That will require extreme focus of which I am really not so capable of in my prarie dog village.

Finally, the best benefit today for working from home: escaping the fire drill. We're on the 32nd floor. HA!!!
