"Working from home"

A surprising bonus this week! I do not have to travel!!!! For the first time in approximately 9 weeks, I have not had to go anywhere! I'm not altogether sure what to do with myself. I feel sure that the Parking Spot will call me asking where I am. I am so happy. I am also planning to "work from home" 3 days this week. I used to say "work from home" jokingly to old colleagues who knew that I would be doing anything but "work", but these days, I'm scarily productive working from home. And not just from a work perspective. I get loads done at home - laundry, dishwasher, changing of sheets. Perhaps it's due to the fact my computer is in my back room, with no television. My mood is also uplifted by being surrounded by windows! Something I never had before or now in my new "cube".

Another note, I am and have always been a bit "time-zoned" challenged. Recognizing that now I'm only working with colleagues domestically and we are usually talking about a 1 hour difference, I still manage to mess it up on a regular basis! I think a new discovery about myself is that I am dyslexic. Which may explain a lot about my grade in Algebra!

I was to have a meeting today with a colleague who I thought was on Eastern Time. Not realizing, not even thinking about her area code, that she is on Pacific time - OOPSY!

So not only am I clumsy, but I can't tell time.
