October 23 Regular Hours, Lunch and Co-workers
As of early September, Gridwork is no longer being operated from my living room. Goodbye to the endless distractions and errand running that slowly seemed to take over all my free time. At first, working from home was tremendously liberating. I found myself spending many more hours on being creative and less in meetings or on busywork. However, over time I completely merged personal time with work time, which usually meant working off and on from early in the morning until late at night. To regulate this social life killing regimen, I began spending more and more time at a nearby café. Now, I love coffee as much as any native northwesterner, but there are severe consequences for consuming vast quantities of caffeine.
