One time in 2018 I snuck into the office at 6AM to "steal" a chair from a partner that had left the firm. Best decision ever.

funny

Lmao people are so petty about the chairs.
At a previous job when I was getting laid off during a reorg my old coworkers were openly musing/debating on who would get my chair and varidesk. Vultures I tell you!

Is that stealing?

I got a steelcase last year when they were replacing all the chairs in our office. It still sits real nice

Y'all are my heroes. I hinted that I wanted to bring mine home and our office manager sent me a link to where I could buy my own for $900. I just bought a refurbished Aeron for $550 and it was so worth it.

Is that Creed from The Office?

Home office preference question. I am getting ready to redo the layout of my home office. One option I'm considering would have my desk facing a wall. I am wondering if anyone with this current setup has any feedback about it. I would face the wall so that I would have a better background for video conferences (am on about half the day) and also my cord situation would be cleaner.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
