I’m working from home - honest… February 21, 2005

Mark has his one-off start of year, getting to know you lecture at Deakin, so I’m looking after Foozley and ‘working from home’ today.

I pretty much never spend a day on my own with the munchkin so, although we could have asked other people to look after him, this seemed like too good an opportunity to pass up. And I have been working - although, obviously not right this minute.

‘Working from home’ really seems to mean mostly getting up and down from sitting in front of my laptop (I’m posting this from the mac, btw, not the work machine). I sit down, look at something for a moment, then decide I need a cup of tea. I sit down again, look at something, then the dogs bark, so I go to investigate and yell at them. And so on. I have managed to get one thing done, though, so something has been acheived.

It really would be good if I had some major ‘thing’ to work on - a document to write, for example - because I could just sit down and go for it. Unfortunately, though, most of what I have to do at the moment are bits and pieces of stuff, which need input from other people and that’s difficult to get from here.
