i sent my office mates a photo of my work station this morning. (gheez! we do spend a lot of time saying good morning and all the pleasantries!) i also sent to my boss and another partner, TU, who's on our team. he and my boss are business counsels to the company that owns porter airlines. TU wrote back that it gave him a smile to see mr. porter (the raccoon mascot of the airline) keeping me company. i got a lot of things done although the process was really slow. the problem with working at home, at least for me, is i forget to eat, and when i do eat, sitting back down almost immediately -- because i have nowhere to go aside from my bedroom or the washroom -- is not doing a whole lot for my middle section. i'm thinking maybe i should do yoga every forty-five minutes or so. but when i start working, there's no stopping me. so in the long run, i would probably be malnourished and still fatso!
i also sent my sister the photo and she was giddy seeing the darn raccoon. she's now thinking of getting a mascot of her own.
this morning i woke up a bit later than my usual time and the senior hour was almost through when i got to the store. there was virtually no senior in there. the two i saw when i came were chatting and were still when i left the store. i got two 6-packages of bounty paper towels, the select-a-size kind. i was asked by a couple if i was panic buying and i told them no, i always buy the bigger package with 12 in it. if i buy only one 6-pack then when i use one, only 5 are left. so i got two so that when i use one, there will still be 11 left. they were looking at me like i was speaking in tongues.
Haha! LOVE the paper towel bit! Makes perfect sense to me! (But I have been a hoarder for my whole life!) And my favorite part of your new work station is the lace curtains!
nice set up! i'm thinking to start a "because cover" thread... it's definitely a weird version of the world out there... there's a million stories for sure!
This is a lovely work station. I admire your neatness. My computer desk has stacks of paper and other things all around it.
When I worked, there were times I had to see patients ever hour, so I bought a battery operated kitchen timer that sort of a clip on the back. I'd clip it to my lab jacket or top or name tag lanyard and set it for 60 minutes. When it went off, I would sort of "awake" from what I was doing and take care of this task. I still use the timer at my computer, especially when cooking. I can't really hear the timer in my kitchen.
Your work station is so pretty! I'm the same way- I can do things on the computer for hours and not notice how much time has passed. So I have to give myself tasks that make me get up and move around! I usually buy one or two of the select a size paper towels but this past week I took whatever was on the shelf! I like your raccoon too!
Your paper towel story made me laugh so. Everything other people do is now being analysed. I have a cough which is triggered by allergens and I daren't go out for fear of people's looks. (I have to stay in anyway for seven days, but after that, what will I do when I am still coughing aggressively?) When you have learned to stop working and take breaks - let me know the secret of how.

Nice nets to keep nosy neighbours from snooping.
Stay cheerful and happily healthy
