personal space and purell

homeplaceofthefuture daily log 4931

As a recovering hypochondriac from 10+ years working in a cube farm, the shift to working from home has been a welcome change. Gone are the days of hot-desking or hoteling. I never had an assigned desk, one day I sat on the 12th floor, the next day I sat on the 16th floor - everyday was an adventure of what I'd find in those "rental" desks. Towards the end of my tenure in the workplaceofthepast I found chicken bones on the desk with buffalo sauce wiped on the underside of my temporary desk! It was a great time to be alive.

Anyways...another cost savings these past 4931 days or so that I have realized is that Purell is no longer bought in bulk and Lysol wipes are reserved for home use only. It's a cheapskates dream to only keep one office clean and not two.

Recently I had to travel across the country to present a PowerPoint presentation (who hasn't right?)

Can I set the stage right now? Here we go....

Travelled all day to present 15 slides of a killer deck, TSA pre was not included on my ticket even though I have it and I had food on my work slacks - I was tired, a little depressed questioning my life choices and smelled like Italian dressing.

Finally get on the plane to relax and I see this from Salt Lake City all the way to the great Northeast.
