I’ve been laboring from my dwelling office for almost a year. In the beginning, I didn’t know I’d be here for so long, so I set up my work things on the kitchen table! However, once my boss pushed back our return to the office one month, then another month, I knew I needed to create an office space, and luckily, I had an extra bedroom without any furniture that could be transformed into an office. I’ve been laboring from 9am to 5pm, five afternoons a week in that room and I was beginning to feel unmotivated and cooped up. When the restrictions eased up in my village and local businesses began opening, I decided to take my ipad and work from the local tea shop for the afternoon. When I arrived, I sited my belongings at the table and ordered my proper coffee. What I didn’t notice when I arrived though, was that the doors were propped open because the cooling system wasn’t laboring in the building. The tea shop was warm and stuffy, and the only air movement was coming from the open doors. It was a nice afternoon outside, so I moved my things to an outside table instead. The fresh air felt enjoyable and the sun was warm. I worked for 30 minutes before I became uncomfortable. It was too warm inside and it was too chilly outside. I decided that the only way I could be productive was to return to my dwelling office with my reliable HVAC system. At least I was able to get out of the house for a coffee.
