I liked this article from the Poststar in upstate New York. I’m from upstate New York and it is true that much of it is beautiful but remote and far from the heavy job centers of the state. Particulary in the Adirondack and Finger Lakes regions, which tend to be vacation destinations. The author states [...]

Do you need a home office makeover? I love this promotion from CSNOffice.com, a furniture retailer. The company is working with interior designer Taniya Nayak to find the Worst Workspace. And your home office could be it! The company states ” Together, they’re looking to rescue woeful workspaces across the country, from homely home offices to cluttered, crummy cubicles to [...]

I saw this ad in a magazine the other day and wondered if anyone has used it? It’s Duracell’s myGrid Charge Pad. The site says “With drop-and-go charging for up to four devices at once, myGrid takes the hassle—and the cords—out of charging your mobile devices. Just put a Power Sleeve™ or Power Clip on [...]

I came across this post“10 Green Home Office Resources” from a nice site called Unplggd (yes, that’s how the site is spelled). Their tag is “smarter homes, fewer wires”. Who wouldn’t love that?

Working from home is great on snowy, wintry days. I don’t need to need to dig out the driveway early in the morning, or climb into a frigid vehicle, or worry about how my giant snow boots look with a nice outfit. I just walk downstairs to my office with a cup of coffee and [...]

I can barely stand it today. The absolute, at times, maddening, loneliness of working from home, by myself, day-after-every-other day. Most days I am happy to walk down to my office and savor the quiet. The kids are at preschool, husband is at the office, and not a sound can be heard apart from a [...]
