Use the bathroom. We have a studio and this is our situation. Bathtub makes a decent desk.

Someone can go to the dinning or living room?

Or walk in closet

what about the hallway

rescheduling meetings

I’m in the same position. One of us works in the bedroom and the other in the kitchen. We use white noise machines and/or a fan. Headphones would be a good idea, too.

I’m in a 1BR high rise and we have one desk in the living area and a foldable desk in the bedroom. Works well.

Yeah I spend hours in bathroom everyday now

what about the balcony

Get a small white noise machine as well as a good headset. Maybe take walks and separate when each other is taking a call or one of you take one outside.

Just accepted an offer with a psych startup. Not exactly the offer I was hoping for as I’m taking a slight pay cut ($73/hr) and it’s a 1099 position. I keep getting stuck on the 1099 piece because I’ll be working 40 hrs/wk, but have been told I’m not eligible to be a W2 employee. Needless to say, no benefits whatsoever. They don’t even provide a computer or any other remote equipment for the completely remote position. Am I making a mistake? Also, can anyone chime in about being a 1099 employee?

3 years ago I distanced my long term love and chose my ambition to complete an MS and create something for both of us in hopes to get back to her as a grown independent man. I lost her for not being there “enough”. Should I regret it? Should i have chosen Love and regretted not achieving my dreams? (We are 27, we fell in love when we were 15) I was a no one back in the day but now it’s totally different, i am debt free, financially stable and ready to settle down.
