Home Work

TODAY, Tuesday, I have been sat at home beavering away on the computer, setting up further blog bits and pieces plus preparing videos for various Enigin blogs and web sites.

Is it not one of the beauties of this technological age that we can often work anywhere, at least usually anywhere there is an Internet connection and with mobile technology that can be many places. In the past I have updated websites from all over the world, besides swimming pools, up mountains and down in canyons.

Due to a car accident a couple of weeks ago I am without my car and I face a 72 mile round trip for work. I do have a motorbike, a Suzuki Bandit 1250, which eats up the miles and is also far more fun to travel on than a car, but this morning I was trying to finalise when I will get my car back from the repair shop, possibly Friday hurray! Also there were forecasts of wintry and snowy weather this afternoon, very early for the UK,  so the bike didn't seem to be the best choice.

By the time I had sorted out the details about the car it made it very late to set out for the office, so I decided to get my head down and get a load of work done here in front of the fire with a mug of coffee and few interruptions.

In times past it would have meant taking a day off or spending all day travelling and getting little done, as it is I have probably achieved more and the office has been only a phone call away or, if needed, on line.

Of course there is another side to home working, as there is to everything. It does also mean that often I am sat here in front of the fire/television/dog/family still working into the early hours.

All this just to keep you up to date with whatever is happening at Enigin! Although I wasn't even there myself today.

I will be back in the office tomorrow and will be looking to conclude some video uploads for this blog and our other websites, plus finalising Becca Stuart's Enigin blog.

There is some good stuff to come - check out Ian Wrigley's blog, there have been some tweaks and corrections made there today and I am working on a video for his blog as well.

So here I am, still working and the office closed about an hour ago! Yes...where is the wisdom in that?

I'm glad to see a Mac in operation!

I also enjoy working from home, there is little distraction and I find more can be achieved when cutting out traveling time.
