I work from a home office. It’s pleasant enough, especially with the minifridge full of Diet Vanilla Coke, but the sunshine and warm weather outside has tempted me. And this year I’ve got the goods to maybe go enjoy it and still get some work done.

Not pictured: iPod.

However there were some drawbacks to this plan. The picnic table wasn’t all that comfortable to sit at for extended periods, and the wood seemed to be causing a rash on my arm. It probably picked up something gross sitting out there over the winter so I’ll have to give it a thorough pressure wash.

Also, the notebook’s screen didn’t work that well in sunlight. I moved the table more into the shade and it was much more usable.

But in the end I moved back in doors and just opened up some windows. It’s still not so hot that I need the AC(Air Conditioning) on, so this is a good compromise for now.
