I have a cold and I’m sneezing all the time, so I worked from home today to try and not infect everyone else in the office.

Having a cold isn’t much fun, and I don’t really enjoy working from home either. The laptop keyboard and monitor are inconveniently small. And I miss the company of my colleagues.

But it is rather nice to sit and work at the kitchen table, with plenty of daylight. And even though it isn’t green outside, the garden is still much less gray and much nicer to look at than the office building across the street from the office.
