If working from home is going to be the new normal, I need to be properly equipped.

Yesterday I went to the office to take home one of the monitors. Wrapped it in a blanket and put it in a big bag to carry it home. But if I take the monitor then I’m going to need the dock as well, because the laptop has so few ports. And if I take the dock then I might as well take the mouse and keyboard as well. And if I take the mouse then I’ll also want the mouse pad with wrist support.

I ended up lugging home a very full and very heavy bag. My arms and hands were so tired they hurt when I got home.

Today I set it most of it up on my desk at home. I managed to just squeeze in the monitor between all the other things on my desk.

This definitely makes for more productive working conditions.

But I lost my view… When I look up, I cannot see outside any more. All I see is a big screen. I cannot even see the African violets on my window sill, and they are flowering so nicely right now.
