I used to smoke, well not just smoke but chain smoke when the old stress levels went up but I am now officially a non-smoker. I was really chuffed yesterday when I went to see my Smoking Cessation guy for the last time and he presented me with a certificate saying I was now a non-smoker.

I arrive at work basically as soon as I get out of bed in the morning (because I work at home). The first thing I do is make a pot of tea, being English of course.

I spend most of my time transcribing interviews and conferences and monitoring my emails. Most of my work comes in and goes out via email, which is great. Its a very clean way to work although I still receive tapes as well.

I work at home so I don't have to travel. If it wasn't for taking the kids to school I wouldn't have to do any travelling.

I would normally use black because I was programmed to use black due to my legal background.

A bit off subject I know, but when I used to work for a Solicitor he didn't even call me by my name, he just used to call me 'Miss Smith'. Maybe he couldn't remember my name after six years, but I just took it as a term of endearment. He was a nice chap though, used to remind me of a scatty professor.

Hi gingerm

Congratulations on your new job. I do a huge amount of typing and find I get a bit of rheumatic pain in my fingers, so I wear a Magnetic Hematite bracelet. I find this does help. You can also get copper bracelets which are magnetic, which help with rheumatic pain. I don't know whether this would help you as you are doing so much writing and typing now, but its just a thought.

Some of the Magnetic Hematite bracelets are really attractive and don't look medicinal.

Good luck
Sarah

When I used to work in a busy office I used to keep my desk fairly clear and would tidy up at the end of the day. Now I work in my home office and there isn't a defined end to my day, so my desk can sometimes get a bit chaotic. No cute toys or crystal balls here - no room with all my equipment I'm afraid.
