Back in the saddle... er, office
After exclusively working from home for the past month and a half, I returned to the office today. I'm finally returning to normal days after "go live" and the initial flurry of problems. I'm glad I did; you can really fall into a routine. I think the longer I'd been away, the harder I'd have found the return.
My feelings on working form home versus an office haven't changed much. I'm usually happier and a litlte more productive from home. (Not everybody can be, with the distractions of one's own house.) Not to mention that I have more time when I'm getting crushed, since it cuts out commuting.
But: the office is friendly, comfortable, and free of noisy pets. Also... I'm a little embarrassed to admit... I was occasionally going for days without showering when I didn't have anywhere to go. And, yeah, that means I was literally not leaving the house for sometimes a few days at a time. Which an introvert finds heavenly; but probably gets unhealthy after too long.
Outside of work, I've been dealing with family (two siblings with car trouble the same week, probably a trip to Connelsville this weekend) and studying Tomb Of Annihilation for our D&D campaign. I think I'd like to get involved in a second D&D group; I've invested a bit in the game now, and I'm really enjoying it. I haven't been playing video games much, nor watching a lot of TV, so if I keep that up I might have a little free time on my hands. I need to get together with some long-neglected friends. Oh, and maybe restart learning magic (I've pretty much forgotten everything now). Hmm, maybe I shouldn't get involved with another D&D group...
