gimme that [working from my] house. music. all DAY long.

so, this working from home thing takes a little getting used to. before my office furniture finally showed up and everything got networked (thanks, JCoop!), my "office" was my couch. my "coworkers" were Judge Mathis, Judge Joe Brown, and the chicks from The View. yes, i was working--answering emails, phone calls, sitting in on virtual meetings, but i was also multislacking, watching TV, IMing, eating....etc.

what a difference a week makes.

now, i have an OFFICE and man, do i feel productive. i drag myself out of bed in the mornings, drop PC off at the carpool (or on my carpool days, pick her bff up and drop them both off), come home, and get it crackin. who knew that a desk, a printer/fax/copier, and a docking station could increase productivity sooooo exponentially!!

but, alas....sometimes, it gets a little lonely. there's no TV in the office, so if i want to "watch," i have to settle for "listening from afar" instead. i didn't turn the TV on at all today and it was eeerily quiet, so i reverted back to an old favorite--MUSIC. my Sorors recommended a GREAT internet radio site to me (www.pandora.com), and i've been jamming to everything from The Jets (don't hate) to Estelle to Maroon 5 all day. and, i'm getting so much done...and my mood is LIGHT!!

dont'cha just love music?? how you can hear a song, and instantly think back to where you were and what you were doing when that song came out? don't you love how you'll hear a song, and it'll bring a smile to your face (or sometimes a tear to your eye) with the memory of the person who it reminds you of?

so, today, though i'm a little lonely...i'm not alone, cause i've got all of my bff artists working right alongside me, making the day pass by, and helping ease some of the mindclutter.

and no one is shooting me dirty looks from the next cubicle over when i start singing those high notes....

ahhhh....autonomy :)
