I like to think I’m pretty mobile with my work needs. Have laptop and internet access, will travel. I have to rethink that.

Today, I’m working on campus, in my old, now repurposed, space. Multiple interruptions, with people loudly talking as they walk behind me. A mess of untidy wires. Clutter and detritus everywhere. Even the keyboard feels wrong; I keep tapping the wrong keys and making mistakes.

Have I become too settled? Too inflexible? Or was my old work environment always this way, and only with distance am I able to see it?
