For those of us still slugging it out in the city — how are you handling WFH? A 1-bedroom apartment is very difficult to manage taking calls for both me and my wife (we’re both on the phone all day), and we don’t have space to get office-specific furniture, leaving us to work at the kitchen table (no desk, office chair, etc.). We don’t want to buy new stuff if we’ll only need it for a few months.
