I call my wife the goat, she calls me the fish. I don’t remember how we get these nicknames, I think off of an astrology place mat at a Chinese restaurant.

Good read on the downside of a home office

Here’s a good article (via svn) from the New York Times about the downside of working out of a home office. I think it’s especially difficult for couples where one person works in an office and the other one works from home. I’m going to speak in generalities here, but I can since I’ve experienced this personally. The person working in the office has been through a long day at the office often combined with a commute, and a lot of times that person loves to come home, grab some dinner, hang out and relax. In contrast, the person working from home has generally been couped up in the house all day, isolated from other people, and is looking forward to getting out of the house after a long day. These two opposing forces creates an issue for sure, one that takes a fair amount of balance to overcome.

Happy New Year!

Happy new year to my family and friends - I hope you all have a fantastic year. I’m looking forward to traveling more, scaling a business and spending more time with the people I love the most.
