At my desk

Coffee Hour (or should that be ‘Tea break’) – I took this photo of my desk with my phone this morning. I didn’t realize at the time how much history and how many special things there could be in a simple picture. One-minute read

The Books on my desk – Last night, when I tidied up I left a stack of books on the corner of my desk. Seeing them this morning reminded me how much my life has changed. Four-minute read, 2 pictures

This Wasn’t Part Of The Plan – When I cleared my office and changed the couch I did not anticipate the increased attention my office would get from the feline members of the family. 5 pictures

Routine Cleaning – Cleaning and fixing things was not quite my plan for the day, but that is what I ended up doing. +3

My Preferred Technology … contrasted with the technology I actually use to get my work done.

The Perils of a Home Office – Sometimes it gets a little busy at my desk. It is also difficult to keep one’s desk tidy when there is someone sleeping on the papers most of the time.

Watching my work companion I’m thinking it might be worth my while switching allegiances to Buddhism. After all, from what I’ve seen, the possibility of being reincarnated as an in-door domestic cat seems to be a pretty good option.

The brief was fairly straightforward. Take an existing drawing of a map, colorize it and add more map labels. The challenges were firstly, that the map was already colored, and secondly the elements of the drawing would have to be moved to make space for the additional labels.

Winding down at the end of the day (365:362) – We seem to spend a lot of time in the office area at the moment

That’s all.

Another late night (365:354).

Cat and mouse (365:353) – Sprinky decided to fall asleep on my EfM lesson notes.

Apple, cheese and crackers (365:345).

Gary, Tubby and Sprinky (365:344) – Half past eleven and I’m still at my desk.

This was going to be a picture of me and the anti-sparkle shield (365:342) – but I didn’t like that shot.

Day 341 (365:341) – Oh dear another at the desk picture.

Not so good (365:340) – I’m not very well, let’s hope I get better quickly. Last time it took me six months to recover – not a prospect I want to consider.

Yay! Only thirty days of this project to go! Beard trim and course work today followed by EfM tonight

Last day of Movember (365:334) – Good, I’m getting tired of this messy beard and tash. If I don’t trim it I’ll get mistaken for Father Christmas (Another day spent moving files and installing software).

Testing out the new office space (365:330) — Not content with pointing fingers at people, Ginger is now pointing cheese (in a very meaningful manner) at me!
