#PlaceofJoy

It’s been almost 18 months already since the first day of the first lockdown.

I remember I was not sure if I could get used to working from home. I told myself it’s just temporary, so I planted myself at the living room sofa with a mobile tray as my working desk.

Days turned to weeks. Weeks turned to months. My back is starting to ache, and the stationery hoarder I am, I started to struggle with space to keep my things. That living room became such a stressful place.

Then, I also realized this working from home thing is going to be here to stay. I need a longer term solution. So I moved to the dining room. Switched the dining room chair with an ergonomic chair. Found a coffee table & old pedestal to put my stuff. Honestly, it’s getting quite comfortable now at this dining table’s corner.

Sometimes, even when I am not working, I would be sitting here playing my games, surfing the net, you know, just hanging out here. It’s like I have created this place of joy – for work & for play.

Perhaps, I can get used to this working from home after all. Besides, I am not sure if I can wake up before 8am anymore.
