One of the things that came about this weekend is that I am getting a new computer at work. It’s not really a new computer, but a hand-me-down from my boss that is about a year old. But, the exciting part of this is that not only am I getting another computer, the new computer is a laptop, which means I can work from home a little bit easier when necessary. I don’t see any working from home happening any time soon, but it will be really great whenever I have to stay home with Zach or there is a big snowstorm or something. Or, you know, when I have another baby and need to go on maternity leave again.
My mom and I have been pushing laptops for a while and trying to warm boss-man up to the idea of being able to work from home more. A while back we thought we might have him convinced, but that went by the wayside. Now, all of a sudden, he purchased new laptops for himself and my mom over the weekend and is passing his down to me, so we’ll all be mobile now.
Very cool!!
Oh! Be careful though — I love my laptop, but I do feel guilty that it’s around sometimes when I’m not technically supposed to be working. It’s a constant reminder that there is more work to do, so be prepared! 🙂
Wow, didn’t you just get a new laptop at home too?? YOu are in the land of laptops.
I do the same kind of reward system daily- some housework- some time on the computer. Otherwise I’d get NOTHING done!
