This is my little work station in our apartment. Nothing too exciting, but I find it cozy. Honestly, I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to think of working from home. When I worked in the office, my days were SO social. On top of talking on the phone, and meeting with students for my job – I also talked constantly with my friends & coworkers. So, when they asked if I’d be willing to work from home, I half-heartedly said yes and mentally began to prepare myself for being alone for 9+ hours each day.
Surprisingly, I have loved every moment of it! I’m naturally an introvert, and while I do love being around people, it wears me down! In fact, yesterday I drove down to SAU and worked in the office and by the time 5pm rolled around I was EXHAUSTED. I still miss my coworkers, but it’s been very nice to work from home. I’m much, MUCH more productive and I thoroughly enjoy that I can do house work on my lunch breaks. At the end of the day, I feel so fulfilled because I contributed financially to my family, and I typically have accomplished a bit of housework as well.
Unfortunately, this position is only temporary. At most I will work from home until labor day. Very soon I will need to join the herds of people looking for employment, and this is something I dread very much. For now, I’m going to go make myself another pot of tea and enjoy my time at home while it lasts.
