I'm a lot more tired than when I worked from home. I'm up earlier. I can't set an alarm and sleep for my half hour lunch if I need to. And that drive home -- even though it's only about 23 minutes on a good day, a far cry from the hour and a half bus ride I could be doing if I were back out in the desert -- is tiring.
But if a meeting is called, I'm there. Don't have to drive in. We had a morale lunch today. Had I been working from home, I would have preserved my morale by *not* going in for lunch. So maybe it's a good thing? The potato salad was good.
Next week more of the same, of course, but tied in with four half-days of training to become certified with the Procedure Professionals Association in technical writing. I don't really know what that'll do for me that a masters degree in technical communication won't do, but I'll never say no to education.
Their logo may need a little work. They seem anxious to sell the training, but not necessarily explain its benefits. I guess there's this, but we're already doing what they outline here. I'll go into it with an open mind, however. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth and all those cliches.
But I will be able to summon the vast power of certification.
