@Pony Few years back a friend name Leo threw a BBQ party for friends and family in his big back yard. He has 2 horses, a real goat, 3 dogs and a rooster. During the party Leo decided to move the chicken pen away from everybody, so he picked up his rooster and handed it to me. While holding his rooster awkwardly, I turned toward the party and yelled at the top of my lung: WHO WANTS TO TOUCH LEO’S COCK? The whole party went from 11 to 0
@tinamarie1974 I have an office too but often end up on my chair by the front window in the living room. It faces south and the sun, so right now that’s a good thing.
I have a large house with many empty (now) bedrooms and my wife insists in working out of the living room. Now that I’m at home not working all day, I’ve found myself sitting in there keeping her company and thus completely ignoring anything productive I could possibly be doing.
ER nurse… I only wish I could “phone it in”.
Of course, since I am 7on/7off I am home for 50% of the time so then I am working anywhere in a one acre space…
I’m a full time caregiver for two kids under four. I work everywhere. Probably the only space I visit that winds up being in any way separate from work for any small given amount of time is the bathroom, but really, even that’s a workspace sometimes, too.
The smallest, most useless bedroom of the house has basically been my home office for nearly the entire time we have lived here. I didn’t have a job at first where I could work from home, but about 18 months later that changed.
Now, however, my wife wants me to remove the tiny bed so she can move her desk in there. I’m not sure how well that’ll work out thought since we’re both often on conference calls most of the day
@guyfromhawthorn don’t do it. my husband and i are both working from home atm and when we are sitting in the same room it gets annoying very quickly. He has his ‘work’ voice and I sit here and think ‘what an ass, i wouldn’t work for him’. But seriously any type of phone/conference call and drives the other person crazy. Plus he likes it quite, when he isn’t on a call, I want music. So we are always butting heads. So he is now on the couch with his laptop, I’m in the basement (home office) on my desktop. Life is good.
@guyfromhawthorn@Vrysen I agree with her- my husband is in the den (where he already wfh often) and I’ve been at the dining room table. I would not want to be in the same room with him at all! He’s on conf calls often and I’m not but still I wouldn’t want to listen to him talk all day. I like that he can close the door when he’s on calls too
Last year I began working from home permanently, all over the house. Most of the time I am in the dining room at the tables, there are four sewing machines in a small room next to it, I have some equipment in the basement (air compressor and miter saw), and, for tall items, I work up in the living room. The problem now is having two other adults at home.
When I am working I work online 100% of the time. Only two room apt. so not much choice. Lying on the bed or sitting in the chair in the livingroom/kitchen. I have competition for either space from cats.
@moonhat Now mine would want to be ON the keyboard LOL. Another one would be off to the side with his little face staring at the monitor waiting for me to go play solitaire so he could use his paws to try to hit the cards as they bounced across the screen after I’d win.
He hears the click click click when I play that game and comes running.
Little tough to see when he is like this which he will do even while I am playing the game not just after I win:
Too ADD to stay in one place so I’ve set up little offices in my bedroom, the livingroom, the front porch, and the back porch, sometimes I’ll also sit at the bar in the kitchen.
If I’m on a phone call (non-video) then I’ll usially pace around the house and the back yard.
My significant other has turned the second bedroom into her office and during work hours she mostly stays in there so I have the house mostly to myself.
I work from home 7 days a week, 365 days a year. I am either in the duck/goose field, or in one of the chicken runs, or in the big chicken coop, etc.

@chienfou is hoarding all of the toilet paper… again.
@Pony Glad to see someone has a productive career, one that no one will joke about for a long time. Well, that last bit is a stretch.
PRANKS! CRANKS! SHANKS! wait…
@bmf @Pony
OOOPS! Been there done (almost) that. Sometimes I push the envelope evidently…
@Pony your chickens look pretty friendly! What’s your wrist tattoo of?
@moonhat That one is an ivy vine with a crow flying above it. I had it done as a memorial to my best friend Ivy, who passed away in 2009.
@Pony oh that’s a nice one
I have a home office, but for some reason I sit in the kitchen. Odd??

I make custom epoxy tumblers out of my garage.
@jnicholson0619 How many epoxy tumblers can you make out of one garage?
sorry, I"m feeling snarky tonight
@phendrick haha
I have an open concept office…
@zinimusprime I see it comes complete with support staff who goofing off too.
@Kidsandliz I know! I get no respect!
At the very moment, my driveway!
@PooltoyWolf you dismantle tv sets for a living?
@stolicat I repair and restore them as a hobby and side income
@PooltoyWolf Cudos to you for rescuing what would normally end up as toxic waste!
PS, nice knees!
@chienfou @PooltoyWolf 10/10 - would knee
@chienfou That’s one of the largest reasons I do what I do! I take pride in giving these things second lives, and keeping things out of landfills.
@chienfou @Rakaim Just not in the shins!
Either the bed, or the desk in the kitchen. It looks like a cabinet when closed.
Similar to this
Wow really nice cabinet @katbyter

@guyfromhawthorn Get some closet space back in exchange.

I’m in the spare bedroom. No proper desk but, soon I’ll be moving to a house with an office. I’m so excited for an office.
I’m hold up in my basement for my work from home setup
I work at our old kitchen table in our dysfunctional “playroom”.
my home “office” which is an art desk, setup in my Guest bedroom, with the bad pushed aside…
@Oldelvis
What do you do for a living? Dominatrix?
@chienfou @Oldelvis ok I just laughed out loud. That was good
Depends. If it’s warm enough, I set up on my back porch. If not, kitchen table. The office got taken over by an infant…
@IWUJackson yeah, why do the youngest hires get the corner office?
I work in our guest house.
Too ADD to stay in one place so I’ve set up little offices in my bedroom, the livingroom, the front porch, and the back porch, sometimes I’ll also sit at the bar in the kitchen.
