OT: WFH - share your home office

JohnInCarolina

Thought this might be fun.  This corner of our house has been my “office” for pretty much every day of the past 7 months.  



Sorry the lighting isn’t great.  That’s a stand-up desk there and a curved display that’s a little racked but does the job.  

I feel very fortunate that we have a dedicated space I can use and that there are windows to the yard in back.  My wife works part-time and she’s taken over our dining room as her work space.

My space with my coworker.



I have worked from home for ~10 years now, first at a desk in our Master Bedroom but we moved 7 years ago and now the Guest Bedroom is my office- just added a day bed recently so now we can officially host a guest.

Our office had for many years been kind of a dumping ground for whatever didn't fit elsewhere.  Since March, the dear wife has given it quite a transformation - paint, curtains, rug, new furniture including a Varidesk and stand-up thingy.

I, on the other hand, am set up at our dining room table - perfectly content - with $0 spent.  I've seen deer, foxes, and hawks out those windows.

Deer and turkey heaven right out that window. Helps make the WFH days go by

Here’s my wife’s space setup in another bedroom. The elfa shelf wall unit worked out well for her.

I should have included a photo of my constant companion - this is her "aren't you going to feed me?" look.

my covid quarantine space. i found bait trapped by a closed dam during a migration back to sea in the lake last weekend, doing 3 ten hour days working over it this weekend. some would say that isnt work but then they have not fished with me. ive already taken the seats out, they wont be needed and are just in the way

I can imagine you making a lot of important decisions in that spot...

Damn @dmchicago beat me to it, actually I took my pic half hour ago but got distracted, let's compare photo timestamps

still need TP? extra points for pulling it 'over' though, makes no sense going 'under'

No sir. With the TOTO Washlet®, all the decisions are made for you!

So we have 3 workspaces, primary is in the basement.

Not pictured is my wife’s set upon the opposite wall; she has a table, extra monitor, sit/stand platform, etc.  When we have calls at the same time, or she is on a call that I can’t be privy to (she’s a manager of a different division within the same group), I go to one of the auxiliary locations.  The preference is my daughter’s set up.

That was great over the summer and when she is on campus 3 days a week now, but since today is one of her remote days, I am in the guest room.

Living in a Airbnb for the last couple of months. Wife and I share the same kitchen table. We’re both working on a GMT+3 time zone.

If you have cats, pulling "under" is the way to do it.

If you have untrained cats, pulling "under" is the way to do it.

I’ve worked from home for 25 years so I always have a dedicated space. This one for the last 12 years. Cooper standing guard as always

4 realzies. 

My wife has a actual office upstairs. 

I work all over the house and am also coming and  going a bit seeing clients. 

So I’m usually standing at the kitchen counter.

@The Cen-Tex Smoker Nice to see you have Valyrian steel handy just in case.

ha ha. forgot that was there. My nickname at Work is "The Wolf" (after Winston Wolf in Pulp Fiction..cuz i know where to hide the bodies). One of our owners sent me the sword (it's Jon Snow's "Longclaw" with the wolf head handle) a couple of years ago as a fun little thank you for a project I finished up.

SciAggie

@The Cen-Tex Smoker Yes. Please note I checked to see if it was a GOT or LOTR sword. I wonder how sharpening differs between Valyrian steel and Elvish steel? Is the Ken Onion up to the task? On another thread perhaps.

Considering this one is made of molded rubber (Valerian rubber, of course) I believe the factory edge is going to have to do.

They say Valyrian rubbers stop Valyrian rulers before they're born.  Just a rumor maybe?

Messy.  Oh well.  Made most of the furniture.

I don't think Elvish steel ever dulls.
