What is the most unique place you have worked from?

As I am writing this post I am sitting next to a horse show ring in Ocala, FL waiting to show my horse.

What is the most unique place you have pulled out your laptop and snuck in some work??? πŸ˜ƒ

I started a hashtag when I was traveling a lot, but I've slowed way way down. I guess the most remarkable view I had was this one from a beachside condo in Siesta Key, Florida, but honestly, my favorite might always be my old apartment balcony in Chicago.

I would say my living room. No other place like it! But I'm sure that's not in the vein of this post so here's another: Sicily, looking at Mt Etna.

Kind of cheating because it was on my iPhone and not a laptop. I sometimes do basic computer service on my free time and this one time a customer called because he needed something fixed immediately on his iMac, wasn't sure I would be able to do it but I ended up debugging the whole thing through TeamViewer while talking to him on my headphones, and this while walking to the train station.

The most exotic was in a hotel overlooking the ocean in Waikiki. My wife and daughter were sleeping due to jet lag, so I pulled out the laptop and worked with a gorgeous view.

I'm currently typing away next to a cat tower in my home office, and that's about as interesting as it gets for me. πŸ˜„

Oh, look a cat!

As much as I like being outside and traveling, I'm way too easily distracted, and so try my hardest to keep a consistent working environment.

Then again, I'm new to the whole WFH thing and new to my job... maybe as I get a little more comfortable, I'll try and mix it up!

WFH FTW!!!! Enjoy it!

As an animal lover myself(I have 2 dogs) I bet at some point you find yourself online at your vet's office! LOL I have never pulled out my laptop there, but I have definitely fielded lots of Slack messages via my phone πŸ˜‰

2am at the Shisha Jazz Cafe in Pune, India.

Me and a few friends huddled around a laptop firefighting production issues surrounded by drunk 20-somethings and brilliant jazz music.

Not something I've made a habit of. But pub-production-support is definitely the most enjoyable kind of production support.
