Working From Home

Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.

Since we have high speed internet now (at times), I have been working from home for the last 4 workdays. I have not worked from home in over a year but I have slipped right back into "work from home" mode. This involves putting off a shower until lunch (or in the case of last Friday, until dinner), wearing sweats all day long (even after the shower), not shaving, drinking too much French press coffee and in general being an overall slug. It is strange how quickly the wife fell back into the "check email / facebook every hour" routine too. Now that the kids each have computers, they too have been spending a bit of time online too (the daughter looks at pictures of puppies and the son looks up weather).

One think that both the kids and I are doing a lot is popping balloons. The son and I like tower defense type games and the one we are hooked now is Bloons 2. It is a typical TD game only with monkeys popping balloons. Be ye forewarned, this game is severely addicting. Bloons 1 was fun but easy, Bloons 2 has 3 levels and I have defeated the first 2 and am close to defeating the 3rd. Bloons 3 and Bloons 4 are out there waiting when I need them.

I spent an hour today at work listening to a seminar about how blogging could be used at our company. I admit I actually salivated a little when I thought about being paid to blog internally. Now the hard part will be deciding which ideas to keep internally for my company and which ones to share here. I will share this photo (that I also posted at work about someone stealing my seat when I returned from getting some tea.

Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
