From the desk of Willie Delwiche.
I’m now into my second year of working from home.
Moving to my home office began as a temporary situation during the height of COVID uncertainty. But a day at home turned into a week, which turned into a month. You know the rest.
I was fortunate that I had an office of sorts set up in my basement prior to the pandemic. If ever a basement room could be cozy, this might be the one — wood plank floor, brick walls, south and east-facing windows that provide some natural light and the opportunity for the dogs to look in on me while they play in the backyard.
Of course, I had to make some changes to my permanent basement headquarters. I’ve rearranged the room several times to accommodate a growing array of equipment and an always increasing supply of books. I’m on my fifth or sixth iteration of a desk setup as I’ve moved from sitting on a couch hunched over a laptop to standing at a desktop of salvaged planks and looking at a couple of monitors.
I am thankful for what I have at home, but there definitely are a few things I appreciated about working downtown…
