Life as a migrant tech worker

On Friday I moved into the 3rd office space I've had for my job in the past 6 months. The company is building out a new, larger space. But until that is finished sometime this summer, my team has been bouncing around the Valley occupying surplus space at the back of various start-ups.

The surprising thing is how well it works. I have a laptop as my primary computer, so it's pretty easy to set up shop anywhere there is power and Internet connectivity. I have a full-sized keyboard, mouse, and second monitor which all help with productivity, and they're pretty easy to move in one trip.

For my phone, I put my GrandCentral number on my business cards. And to make outgoing calls I've been perfectly happy using Yahoo! Voice or Skype on my computer; the quality is better than the cell phone, and I love the hand-free headset, which let's me continue to work on the computer while I talk.

The only thing I really miss is having a good, ergonomic chair that fits me well. Hmm, maybe I should get one an cart it around with me...
