I’ve not been posting much here, work has been incredibly manic the last while, especially I need to still finish off my SSO posts with the last installment, for now though, some thoughts on my work arrangement and freelancing.
I have been working from home as self employed since around December (self employed for longer) and as before when I’ve done many months of home working it has started to get to me.
In the past I generally had an office to go to but didn’t unless I had to, worked from home when I could, home is nearer to the Data Center than the office and generally home has better workstations.
Now as I am self employed I do not have an office to go to and I’ve also realised that all the reading I have done in the past were generally on the train while commuting, and this is something that I cannot let slip but just do not get around to reading while at home.
So I now have an office in London Soho, it is just a desk in a shared office full of other freelancers and startups but for the last 2 weeks I have been pretty happy, I have learned Ruby (more about that in my next post) and I am finding I really enjoy the ritual of going to an office again, but an office where there aren’t project managers and other people waiting to harass you, I think that is the main ingredient.
I will probably stay at this office till the clocks change for winter time, then I’ll be working from home again till the summer. The main thing is I have the freedom to choose now and that more than anything is what I love about self employment.
