My Home Office
Author: adminjol501I am just a stay at home wife but there are many things to do at home. The chores are endless. Before I came to Canada, I worked in the IT field. I have always worked with computer systems both software and hardware and the internet. Now that I stay at home, I use the internet to communicate with my family and friends and to find information on almost anything especially products and services of companies. I also use it to find how-to information, recipes, read the news, find people, check on the latest in entertainment, music and movies.
We have a room upstairs that we use as our office. When my husband is at work, I use that office. We have a home network of three computers so it is just alright if I use any of the computers because all our files are stored in the server. When my husband is at home however, I give him priority over the office upstairs because that is really his computer there. My computer is downstairs but when I work with photos, I like to do it in his computer because it is directly wired to the server while mine is using wireless connection. This means that loading of photos in his computer is way faster than in my computer and I’m talking about several thousands of photos here.
This is my home office before
My husband have been offering to buy me a proper computer table but I procrastinated because I really don’t want to rush on buying things. I have my own requirements when it comes to buying things. I usually know what I want and I want it at a very reasonable price. Lately though, I have been working long hours in the computer and using just a small table and small stool. My back is beginning to hurt. This concerns me so much so it was time to set-up a proper working space.
Yesterday, we were at Staples and we bought a corner workcenter table with cherry finish. When we got home, my husband assembled the table right away and it came out perfect to my corner space office and my ergonomic chair. The table is quite sturdy and wide enough for the phone and other computer accessories. It also has enough space in front of me, in case I need to write things down. The CPU holder is very spacious that I think it is big enough to accommodate three CPU’s.
This is my home office now
Since I like to work with pictures, I also bought Adobe Photoshop Elements version 7. I slept late last night because I was very busy watching the how-to videos of the software that I just bought. I’m so glad I brushed up with my knowledge in photo-editing in Photoshop which I have not done in quite a long time. I have been using Windows Picture Manager and Olympus Master 2 prior to this. Sooner than later, I will be editing videos and who knows, make movies.
