My storage needs are covered

This storage unit is neat, but the building this is in, is even better!!!


How happy would you be working in a place like this?!!!
Great office space :)

Home office or commercial office?


Working from home seems as such a great idea at times... But I found out that work never ended. I would get up in the middle of the night to check something out. Or get mad at the kids, basically for being kids (laughing, screaming, asking for stuff all the time) 
I love the fact that I didn't need to rush in the morning getting dress, or even combing my hair.
Working at home requires a strong ability to separate personal and business lives. A home office contains a lot of distractions, whether your family distracts you from your work or your work distracts you from spending time with your family.
I couldn't separate them. In fact I was often being asked favors from friends and family (even my hubby). "Since you are home all day, could you..." (fill in the blank). I mean, I don't mind doing favors, but although I was home all day, I was working, or at least trying.  And when the kids came home after school, I was still working, trying to catch up with all the things I needed to get done.
So, the best thing I could do, was finding an inexpensive office, not too big, but it includes the utilities, and I can use the conference room for free, I couldn't receive clients at home ever before, but now that I have the space, I just might 
And they have free parking too, and if I ever need it, the building has storage down stairs.
I don't know if you can feel this through the screen, but I'm happy!!! No more errands to distract me. Production is rising already. This cute office is paying for itself. 
Peace and quiet all day :)
I'm still my own boss, and I decide how many hours I work. But now I can say "oh, I'm sorry, I have to go to the office all week, I can't wait for your couch to be delivered sometime between 9AM and 4PM"
