Yesterday I completed my first day of my remote working situation. It went rather well. I didn’t experience any situation that needed me to be in the office, and the one meeting I had is always a conference call.
I managed to get so much more done in 6 hours than I expected. Perhaps it’s due to the minimal interruptions and better concentration. I had a list of things that I wanted to do for the day and I managed to do them all and start on an item that was slated for the next day.
I hope all the days are as pleasant as my first :) I’ll be starting my second day of remote working in a little while and I hope it goes smoothly. Three out of the six hours I work is already full of meetings :)
More later…
Well, I’m in Croatia now and so far it still only feels like a vacation. It’s great to be with my boyfriend again. It was very difficult to maintain our relationship with only daily IMs during work, weekly phone calls and a 6 hour time difference.
I was so worried while packing that I would either forget something or not bring enough stuff. I tried to minimize what I brought to essentials. I needed clothing and shoes for 2 seasons–Winter and Spring. I could only bring two large suitcases and they couldn’t be packed full because I would need room to bring any extra stuff back. It all worked out though, and the only thing I realized that I forgot so far was my cell phone charger :)
I will be working remotely starting tomorrow and I hope it all goes well. It will be a tough adjustment on top of all the rest, but I’m ready for it.
I’ll be changing this site periodically to ween it away from it’s former purpose (helping me get a job). Stay tuned for more later…
