Combine the AUD/USD exchange rate with the fact Australia has to import almost everything and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s paying $19 for avo toast. And all that coffee? Considering it’s Australia with their spiders and scorpions and shit that are the size of dogs, I’m staying awake 24 hours a day. Gonna need a lot of caffeine…
You don’t absolutely need a separate office (especially if it’s going to be quiet at home), but any sort of structure definitely helps. Whether that be specific work hours or a dedicated work space, find what works for you. That said, don’t be afraid to enjoy your new freedom.
Yes, you will get bored. But think about it…were your fellow employees really all that interesting? I’ve come to realize that I like my dogs a lot better than any of my coworkers. Would you rather take a 10 minute break from Microsoft Access to listen to Karen tell you for the 3rd time today that her oldest daughter has decided to drop out of school to pursue cosmetology or go out back and toss a tennis ball across the yard? That’s an easy one for me.
You will get cabin fever. Invest heavily in your hobbies – ideally something outside the house. Join a sports league, learn to fly (my personal favorite), take some sort of class – anything that gets you out of the house on a regular basis.
You just have to find your rhythm. For me, that usually means taking the laptop to the kitchen in the morning and scanning through email while making/eating breakfast. I usually find myself to be more productive if I have gotten dressed, although that normally means just jeans and a t-shirt. If you need some kind of background noise, I’ve found that I do well with movies I’ve already seen – especially classics that I know so well that I don’t really have to pay attention. Besides that, just enjoy it. Crack open a beer at lunch or take your laptop outside where you’ve got a couple racks of ribs on the smoker.
My wife was offered a new position which involved us relocating. I basically told my boss we were moving, but I would be glad to work remotely if it was something they were open to. Their only stipulation was that I stay in the contiguous US, and be willing to travel back to the office every so often.
And this condescension is coming from the generation of “free love”. That said, Anna seems super needy and insecure. She needs to get her shit together.

I moved away from Publix footprint. It’s amazing how much more I eat out now.

You ordered a spicy chicken sandwich and “extra crispy fries” ….If this was you, tell me what your meal was.
Why can’t you just make a Spotify playlist for us like Brian used to do?
You missed out on an integral part of childhood if Billy Madison is the first thing you think of when throwing a banana peel from a moving vehicle.
At least we still have Flag Day…
