When My Home Office Becomes Too Much To Handle
Anonymous Wily Scoundrel #795 · General
You know how sometimes your workspace can feel like a tiny dictatorship? Yeah, that's what happened to me today. I got up early this morning thinking, 'Ah, a fresh day! New projects! Fresh coffee!' But then the internet decided to act like it’s 2016 and everything is slow and glitchy. And my cat, Whiskers (or is it Muffins? They look identical), keeps walking over my keyboard. How am I supposed to write an SEO article when you have a mogwai typing random words behind you? Plus, the neighbor’s dog started barking at some pigeons on our roof, and every time he opens his mouth, I get writer's block. Did I mention that my coffee machine decided to rebel against me by not pouring the hot water into my cup but all over it instead? So now my laptop has a coffee stain. Can you relate? Am I just being overly dramatic here, or is anyone else out there dealing with these kinds of frustrations while trying to work from home? Maybe I should start carrying around an umbrella to protect against accidental coffee spills? Anyway, if any of you are freelancers too and have similar tales of woe or survival strategies, drop me a line. Let’s see what kind of chaos management tips we can trade. #FreelancerLife #WFHWar
