Description: We used to kiss and cook. Now we change diapers.
Last week was an interesting week for the Gambinos, as it was for most American families. We made our mad dash for household essentials and started to reconsider plans we had with friends and family. Like many Americans, our employers informed us of their new work-from-home policy. Yes, both Alissa and I will be working from home for the foreseeable future.
We live in a relatively large two bedroom apartment, with the second bedroom occupied by our toddler roommate, but finding the space for both of us to get our work done wasn’t too difficult. We actually have a desk already positioned in one of the corners of the apartment, however it rarely sees the light of day and is often covered in paperwork and mail. That all changed Friday evening as I removed all clutter from the desk and placed some of the Kate Spade office wear I had purchased for Alissa.
Ok, so one desk down, one to go. And let me tell you, at no point did I consider our dining room table. My recommendation for working from home is to have a space dedicated that won’t disrupt your life after hours. Clearing off the table from the work day to reset it in the morning is not a routine I wanted to get into, so I had to find another space. To provide my wife with the privacy to record her lectures and for me to take calls without causing too much interruption, I knew my desk had to be in our bed
