Werking from Home

Good things about werking from home:
- two-screen setup on Windoze laptop, which is making screencast editing a heck of a lot easier
- retail therapy at lunchtime (there are no shops in Back of Beyond where I werk)
- good bad coffee made just right
- spontaneous lunch choices
- chocolate ice-cream in fridge
- a lie-in
- Radio 3
- PEACE AND QUIET (apart from damn'd builders and scaffolders upstairs)
- purry pusscats
- natural light
- large-enough working surface

Bad things about werking from home:
- terrible stabbing pain in right thigh around 6pm. Yep, pusscat dinner time ... thanks for the reminder, Sam.

Five reasons why I love teh interwebs

1. Interstitial fiction, kiss my gun (via coffeeem and everyone who knows her)
2. Anna quoting Cory Doctorow: 'there are days when you think what you're writing is brilliant and days in which you think that your are producing utter crap, and three months later you won't be able to tell which was which.'. Which is exactly what I needed to read right here, right now.
3. Wikipedia entry which I located via a long string of guessy search terms and which helped me identify a novel I read 15-20 years ago and really want to reread.
4. Bookmooch, where I found and mooched said novel (Orphan of Creation, Roger Macbride Allen).
5. Explanation for the outbreak of pregnancies on my f-list.
