Have Laptop, Will Travel
So far during my short career as a software engineer, I have found that the power to "work from home" is not nearly as nice a perk as it at first sounds. I may be unique in this, but after a few hours my bedroom starts to drive me nuts.
Yesterday, I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was taking the phrase far too literally. Once I realized this, I went on a "working from home" tour of my favorite places in Waltham.
It should be noted that the cup of coffee is called Ring of Fire, and that it is a good deal of fun to ask your favorite barista for a "medium Ring of Fire."
From these images together, we learn that, if it isn't black as midnight on a moonless night, a good programmer won't drink it.
After leaving the cafe (which closes entirely too early), and before getting hungry enough for the bar, I spent much of the day in my new favorite place, Back Pages Books on Moody Street. Unfortunately, I was so productive there that I forgot to take a picture.
The moral of the story is: it's nice to live in a town where you're never out of range of someone's free wireless network.
