National Working from Someone Else’s Home Day

As you can see from my colleague’s blogs, as part of the National Working From Home day, the IT PRO team is – working from home.
That said, right now I’m not actually at home – I’m at someone else’s house entirely. Let me explain.
At home, I don’t actually have a room I can go into and shut the door and get work done – at least not since my daughter was born, when the second bedroom that functioned as my study became her bedroom. (Not that I begrudge her this of course).
So I started the working day sitting at my wife’s dressing table in the bedroom, with my daughter, (who is two by the way), coming in a couple of times, which was certainly something of a distraction. As she and her older brother will be returning from nursey/school during the working day, I’ve therefore made my escape to my parent’s-in-law’s house. This was a three minute drive, but the transfer does eat into the working morning, which isn’t great when you’re on deadline.
My parents-in-law are both out at work today, so it’s completely silent right now, which is good in that there’s no distractions, but also a downer as I feel as if I’ve been put into isolation for bad behaviour.
That’s why I shall after lunch head out to work at the local Starbucks, just so I can see a bit of life.
Using the power of Wi-Fi, I have moved from the study to the kitchen table, just to put a bit of excitement into the day. To be honest, it’s sort of worn off by now.
I’ll report back from Starbucks later in the day. I know you can’t wait.
