50 feet to my truck.

40 miles of coffee and rock-n-roll.

Office?
About 7' from couch to computer.
I don't always drink coffee "but when I do, I make sure it's Dos XX"

10 miles, 25 minutes. Gives me a chance to wake up.

Just a few days ago I moved my office into my bedroom. The commute to the living room was killing me. the living room is CLEAR ON THE OTHERE SIDE of my bedroom door.

Real reason was I was tired of taking up space in the living room with a bunch of stuff I never use.

My 'desk' as I guess I would call it is my king size bed. computer setting beside the bed, monitor on the bed. My bed has been my desk since January. I even have a place for active files and a small board for the coffee cup to sit on, and another small board on the other side for the mouse to run around on. I have an area in the middle, about the size of a standard cot, that I sleep and sit/lay while drawing plats and such.

I have created the almost perfect office. Except for the coffee maker being all the way up stairs.

My main concern is once, if ever, the economy turns around and I start getting work again so I can move my business back downtown, where am I ever going to find a place that can handle my king size desk bed? 😀

I like Dan Dan's plan

Sounds like a survey plan for "the Man" to me!!!

That is a nice view. I sat looking at all the different things in the clouds.

A teddy bear sitting on the mountain on the left side of the pick.

You have to zoom to see the pig but it's there.

George is a little distorted but I had to put a surveyor in there somewhere. It actually looks more like a Fraggle, from Fraggle Rock.

Used to and still do, love to watch clouds. There's a lot going on up there.

I've been working on some 3D animation and the clouds are giving me fits. I might have to make my short animation a bright sunny, cloudless day!

John

That's no teddy bear, that's Brigitte Bardot, but there's a cloud in the way, you can't see her.

Reminds me of the days on the road, where the double bed was all the space in the room I could claim as my own. As designated office geek, I got to put in a full day in the field, then second shift doing all the calcs, copying and scanning notes, faxing and/or emailing, etc. It's a good thing I'm a small guy, and could leave about 12" to actually sleep in.

> John, like you I have to travel farther in the morning to get to the coffee pot than I have to travel to get to the "office". It is perhaps 15 steps to the coffee pot. On the way to and from the coffee pot, I usually pause to check out the view on the way back to the "office". Here's a look at that view as of yesterday. It will be slightly different tomorrow. Maybe fewer clouds, but as far as clouds are concerned, I like these. They remind me of Maynard Dixon's paintings. Around here, sometimes it's hard to stay focused on the job.

OK WV.. I'm trying to guess the lake, is it Palmer Lake? hard to tell from the pic... could be Spectacle or Osoyoos... used to go fishing in the Sinlahekin Valley every spring with my dad, haven't gone for the last few years. I should make sure we plan a trip next year, that area is hard to beat!
