Not too long ago I was at the Techrigy home offices & posted posted photos. I thought it was only fair that I share a photo of my space. I am parked in my living room.
Initially I had been downstairs because I had read that it’s best to not work in the main living space. Something about distractions. But it seems that I thrive on distractions so I moved upstairs. (The floor was cold down there in the winter anyway).
So this is it. Now you’ll know I’m geeky (if you didn’t think so before).
My husband made the table out of a black ash tree that had blown down by our lake.
The two 20” monitors take up a bit of space, but I’d be hard pressed to work with only one. The monitor on the stool conveniently turns 180 degrees to watch Netflix movies on the couch.
The two laptops on the left aren’t used on a regular basis. The larger laptop has files I haven’t transferred to the new Dell tower, because … well, you know.
And the mini netbook has a video camera & microphone in it. It’s really my traveling computer, but sometimes I video Skype with it.
Then there are the headsets: 2 usb headsets for voip, a headset for the landline phone, a bluetooth headset for the cell phone.
And my 3 in 1 printer is by my feet along with a blanket that I share with my cats. For background noise, I have a 52” flat panel tv. When it’s my choice I have the Food Network on, but I can pretty easily tune whatever is on out. And it’s muted whenever I’m on calls.
I have a lovely view of my lake. That trail going across is made by deer (which may sound nice…). But there’s a lot of cursing when they prune my lilacs when they’re blooming.
Now it’s your turn to share. What does your home office look like?
I don’t know which is funnier: that you have more computers and monitors than I ever would have expected, or they sit on different pieces of furniture! It’s ghetto!
I’m not worthy to your geekiness, superior commander.
HAHA! The truth is that I have a nice size desk behind me. But it has our old PC w/ a big monitor. And my husband’s work laptop lives there too.
I prefer my view. And yes, I don’t mind the lived in look ;) Do you see how nicely the rungs on the stool work for storing headsets?
Looks pretty great.
I only wonder if enthusiasm for home offices like these are going to be on a collision course with the enthusiasm for a greener planet.
Love it and envious. I’m just thinking you should have adjustable work services. (ergonomic issues)
That is really clever with the stool for headsets, but that big monitor looks so precarious there.
Does the printer help keep your feet warm? :)
