The View from Here

Who out there has a better office than I do?

Answer - NO - ONE!

Okay, maybe the Goodspeeds what with their high-speed internet and lakeside location in the heart of cottage country. But really? Mine's not so bad!




I mean, the wireless connection works perfectly on the porch, and with my Muskoka rockers, Coke Zero, a book or two to read between imaginary assignments, really, I think it's a perfect place to work from.




They're back. The dynamic duo who keep trying to summer here on our porch, right across from their year 'round residence in the car suspended atop a 30-foot pole at the Oyster Bed Bridge Raceway.

I think I might have just scared the loving bejesus out of them though - what with running after them like a crazy woman, swinging my broom and all. They took off to parts unknown and that's just fine by me. I can now get back to more pressing things...like reading the Y&R update on Soaps.com.

  1. That a new MacBook Pro you're sporting there? If so, good on ya.

    The internet at the cottage can be intermittent, but it is a nice place to work, or would be, if it wasn't for the desk. It was made for children, the space for your knees is so low and narrow that there's no way to work comfortably.

    I'd love to replace it but it's oak and matches nicely and I think the parents would just suggest I lose weight.

    So I set up a fold out table that I jam in between the desk and the fireplace and... well, it does the job nicely enough.

    So, the experience is not without a few annoyances here or there, but during my last big project I enjoyed the daytime with the kids, and when they were all tucked away I was able to work away on my two-screen setup right next to a roaring fire.

    I guess I can't beat that.

  2. Yes! I love my MacBook - Dwayne is jealous that within the first year of our marriage that I spend so much time with Mac. But on those days when DD is spending 14 hours at the office, Mac is a mighty good companion!
