Welcome to 2012. It's been a month since I've started work again and the following has become rather a haze as I move through the week...
Early morning trains, new systems and tools, the opportunity to work very remotely with virtual teammates.
At least there's the infrastructure to support it! However I'm yet to work out if the balance can be maintained if you can take a concall in your pyjamas or it eats into your personal life by having another device to tap into whilst having meals etc (very common these days to see 2 people having meals when one of them has their attention affixed on their gadgets, and doesn't even acknowledge their companion's existence).
At least I can go for a morning jog and be at my 'desk' at home before 9 on my work-from-home days. Or get in super-early and catch a fast fast sprint in the rain, through tower bridge, and back at my 'hotdesk' in the London office at 9am.
A relationship to be handled delicately. iPhone= personal, Keyboard phone=only occasionally on non-working hours. Long hours and past midnight tapping should not be encouraged. Lessons learnt when the mobile device rang at 4am ...lucky it wasn't sent by a human.
Hope to write more about running next time. Time to get off the train and log onto the laptop.
Have a great week!
