Down to Business

Goddamn – being your own boss is hard.  It helps that I have somewhere to go and work but I still find myself spending 10, 11, 12 hours a day there.  Fortunately there are 3 good noon meetings walking distance from where my new office is in Boise.  I’m so glad to be out of Meridian and out of commuting 40 miles a day and working somewhere where there are places to have lunch.  I totally envy people like Vicarious Rising that they live in real cities.  I don’t know that I’ll ever make it back to living in a city.  It’s easier to go downhill than up.  And Idaho is definitely downhill.  Whatever.

The phones are installed and the computer network is up and I’ve overwired the hell out of the office so that growing will be less painful.  Tomorrow the 600 page manual and I will try to figure out how to program the new phone system to do cool tricks, like transfer calls, set up voice mail boxes, make the number that is supposed to be the fax machine actually go to the fax machine.

I love my new office – It has a recessed skylight and no windows on exterior walls so it has perfectly diffuse, indirect daylight all day.  It’s beautiful.  Everyone else wanted views – in western windows.  Have fun with the glare kids, and knock before you enter.
