This worked, and it didn't. It was difficult b/c I'd have to abruptly stop working if a student came to see him, and lots of times he'd forget to tell me when a student was coming to see him. That said, I found I could work in Archer's office. I also found a few quiet places around campus where I could retreat to when I couldn't be in Archer's office. It is difficult, but it isn't impossible.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18353657968740060474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34759951.post-69305216905627145282011-08-04T07:42:30.714-07:002011-08-04T07:42:30.714-07:00Good luck with your home office.

I had a home office until my son was born and then had to move to our bedroom. It works out, especially if you still choose to treat it as a 9 to 5 job. No home work during that time. Keep similar break times, have lunch ready, etc. I really like being able to get up and just work.QueSerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959663812711093395noreply@blogger.com
