New Jersey
In New Jersey, I could see New York City from my apartment's living
room.
In New Jersey, my home office was in a spare bedroom at first, until
my first child was born. The office was then moved to a corner of
the living room.
California
In California, I rent a three-bedroom house with a yard in a quiet
suburb.
At first, the two kids were in one bedroom, which left one for my
home office again. My dad had made the desk custom for the New
Jersey living room, but it fit perfectly in the new bedroom.
But with the new baby, I had to move my office to the unused end of
the laundry room, move the kids to where my office had been, and
turn their old room into the nursery. My dad's custom desk didn't
quite fit, so I had leave out one section.
Then, one fine morning, I finally received my new
Alienware Area-51
machine.
Before and after images.
This was my setup during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and I had to
work from home. My daughter is away in college and my home office
is back in the now spare bedroom. That's a guest bed in the
picture, not my actual bed that I actually sleep in. The downside
is that every time we have visitors, I have to give up my office.
When my daughter came back home after college, I was sent back to
the laundry room.
