"Working" from Home

I'm working from home today. I worked from home yesterday and got a bit sunburned sat on Brighton beach. But honestly today I am working. I am sat in front of my laptop and my mobile is switched on and next to me. I'm not expecting it to ring as it's a bank holiday in Germany but I've switched it on just in case.

Now I'm not doing to well with this working from home thing. I've narrowed my current failings down to 3 potential things.

1. Sat in shorts, t-shirt and flip flops I am perhaps not in a work frame of mind. Maybe I should go and put my suit on and my productivity will improve.

2. Tea. I don't have tea in the office in Germany mainly because Tea is not a German thing and if I want coffee I have to pay for it and I am against that in principle. But at home I have an almost endless supply of Tetley teabags (I think there are 30 left) and it's great. I've had 4 cups already and I've not been going long. Soon I will have a 4th reason not to work which will be a side effect of drinking a huge amount of tea.

3. To my left I have another computer and on that computer my itunes library. It tells me that I have enough music for 40.7 days with out repeat. That means I can sit here "Working" solidly until around the 10th June without hearing the same song twice.

I have to go an take a plane to Germany tonight and even though I can take the same music from the computer with me on my iPod it doesn't appeal in quite the same way. I don't know why that is.

Well done to anyone who manages this working from home thing. You must have more will power than me but to be honest that is not an achievement worthy of listing on your CV.

Anyway, I'm supposed to be working and this is not getting anything project managed so I should stop. Just need to select a new album to listen to and maybe grab a quick cuppa....
