Last Monday was my first day at TFA, and it's been a pretty busy week: all kinds of trainings, visiting the SF office for an afternoon, getting my computer and internet phone set up, making my own lunch. A couple things that have struck me about working from home as a permanent arrangement:
* I haven't yet gone all Emily Dickinson on everyone (although it's only been a week)... I think my 9 months of living alone in Tucson have prepared me well for not talking for long stretches of time.
* There are TONS of stay-at-home moms and round-the-clock landscaping activity at our complex. The landscapers and most of the moms are very friendly; the UPS guy, however, does not say hi back.
* I need to figure out how to translate my in-person personality into my phone personality. I nod a lot when I'm talking to people; it's my way of showing them I'm listening and following along. Can't nod over the phone. Makes me nervous.
* I've been eating waaaaay too much kaju barfi. :-(
