It's all coming together now....

Work finally arranged for a computer to be installed here today, ready for when I start working from home. Still don't know when that's going to be, though they reckon it should be by the end of the month. *sigh* I know they need to get as many possible issues resolved before we 'go live' as they can, but honestly, the phrase 'couldn't organise a

Tom would leave a comment but you don't appear to be mutually friended :p

He tends to make up a bowl of salad (lettuce and spinach) and keep it in the fridge, and then add stuff like feta cheese and carrots and chicken to it for lunches. It's easier to have stuff made up ahead of time.

.... that's bizarre, as I sure as hell didn't un-friend him. I've fixed that now, anyway.

Yeah, I've been doing something similar for the office; bag of mixed leaves and some other stuff thrown in. Didn't always have the time, as I don't much like eating food I prepared the day before - I'm strange like that :-p So much easier to throw that stuff together when I'm home though.

I find it easier to make up a bowl or two of basic salad (lettuce, spinach, maybe some chopped onion greens) on the Sunday before the week starts. Then I can put whatever I want in it, like lunch meat, tomatoes, carrots,etc. I advise eating first before you get started on other projects. My breaks are very structured so I prioritize what I need to do. Also, if your work schedule requires you to be at your desk/computer most of the time (mine does), you'll probably need to factor in your visits to the bathroom with your scheduled breaks and lunch times. You will probably want to have a drink available, possibly in a non spill container, and possibly a bottle of aspirin/paracetamol at hand as well. For drinks I usually use sugar free drink mixes in a bottle of water, which is less fattening than milk, sugar, etc. Hope this helps :-).

Hey hon - yeah, at the moment I only get fifteen minutes break (perils of only working a four hour shift), so I pretty much only have time to eat, perhaps read a couple of things on an online newspaper at the same time. I don't know what it'll be like once I'm home, but I doubt it'll be much different. Going to the canteen to buy some food always means I have to eat it while I work, which is permitted, but never fun.

The good thing about my flat being so tiny is that I have less distance between my desk and the kitchen sink than I currently do to the office water cooler. And the bathroom's equally close, so that shouldn't be a problem either :-)

That's good. Let me know if you need to know more about working from home since I've been working from home for a while :-).

Thanks hon :-)
