Work from home set-up

[Ming the Merciless]

Slight upgrade, second hand screen (to match existing one - OCD) and a USB 3 Thinkpad docking station off ebay (docking station is hidden away under the desk).

Oh and the portable speakers that were spare in the garage.

Looks like you have the track and trace spreadsheet open.

This is mine.

I've got my work and home computers sharing the monitor, and the tablet for teams. Just out of shot are my canine and feline assistants, though they do spend far too much time sleeping on the job.

I find I'm missing the commute more than the office. Just doing a circuit isn't the same, and much easier to skip.

Worked from home since Feb 2019 when I closed my practice office... lock-down has had no effect at all!

Honestly, the shambles some of you work in, I'm amazed you get anything done.

A tidy desk, a tidy mind, that's the way I was taught. A bit old fashioned I know, but someone has to maintain standards.

And I thought my printer was old! Is that a box of energy gels on the left?

My A0 plotter and copier are in the storeroom immediately below my upstairs office, accessed through the kitchen and the garage so I have to walk downstairs + go through 6 doors to get to them... the files, sent by WiFi, are ready by the time I get there... unless I've made a mistake and not sent them!

I had a bit of a wait to get 'permissions' to install printer software for home, although I've avoided using it mainly. The extra screen is useful for transferring information/working with other docuents without printing off. When I got the docking station, I used the IT Department's chat box, and they installed the drivers in 15 minutes, not a 2 week wait via 'email'.

This is my temporary WFH setup. Sent home in March for a couple of weeks to see if WFH was viable and all these months later I've only heard from my boss once

I should really get it setup better as I'm still working on a fold out chair. Its also a little cramped.

The desk suits though when I switch over to night time driving duties.

It's actually 50 disposable lighters . I bought that printer new in 1957 and it's never let me down. Brothers are bulletproof.

Here is Mrs Gunks set up, filing cabinets and printer are in the garage.

Where’s the mouse @Gunk. Did you hide it or is she a leftie?
