Good news! I get to transition into working from home again. If you remember, I'd started working from home back in mid-summer, but got called back to the office to help keep an eye on our new employee. Well, he's no longer with us and so I get to start working from home again.
There's a balance that needs to be worked out, but we're beginning with two mornings from home. That's been a nice change.
Yes, that's the corner desk, not in a corner, and a faux wicker patio chair, but it works for now.
I love my husband, I really do, but our personal energies are very different and I'm very much an introvert, so being around people 24/7 wears me out. Being home in my personal, comfortable space helps restore balance to my inner universe. And that goes a long way toward maintaining my emotional health and well-being. I can feel a difference in just the two weeks/three work-at-home mornings I've enjoyed.
Of course, all I have is my laptop now--my work PC had to go back to the office when I did, and until we can get a second PC that will allow me to remote my work PC while it remains at the office, directly on the network, I can only do so much from home. Another reason for the slower transition.
But I'm not complaining. I'm just happy to get the process started.
Glad to hear your balance is returning!
ReplyDeleteExcellent news, Jen! Recharge time is a must. Hope you're soon able to work from home every workday.
