I sometimes work in various people’s homes as a tutor, so I can’t show you those places. But most of the time I work at home. I run a household and I translate. At the table on the deck out the back I translate passages by hand, and then at the desk at the front of the house, I type it up. In the first stage, I need four items: a French novel, a French-English dictionary, a pad and a pen. When I’m working at the outside table, this is what it looks like:
I am SO jealous! What an incredible work environment! And what a beautiful place to live!
Yes, it is a beautiful spot to sit in, to write in. Perhaps I should say to work in, since that’s the theme of today’s photo challenge. But I need to tell you that for this ‘work’ I don’t get paid. Yet.
That’s too bad …
Can’t think of a better office!
Yes it is a great office. Not today though; at this moment the deck is covered in a thin glaze of ice. It’s currently 1 degree. Until Spring arrives, I’m translating inside, at the kitchen table. But either in or out, I LOVE working at home. And thinking about sons, mine are in their early twenties but they still have problems, and because I work at home I am here when they want to talk, when they want to tell me how hard life can be sometimes.
