Put a sledgehammer to your home office

What strange things do you have in your home office?

Fear not. HOE—Home Office Envy—has not reared its ugly head. Just filling in a missing piece to last week’s newsletter on why I have a sledgehammer in my office.

First, it’s not for unreliable office equipment like that scene in Office Space:

It’s actually an exercise equipment synonym. As a devote of the teachings of Matt Furey, I often do a few “unorthodox” exercises. Swinging mace clubs is one.

Only I substitute a sledgehammer for a club. It’s cheaper and gives me pretty much the same workout as with the club.

So that’s the story of the sledgehammer and how it came in handy to help the dog in the icy water.

What’s in your home office that might not be in most home offices?

We all have our little odds and ends, our idiosyncrasies or peccadilloes. What’s the home office version of yours? Please leave yours in the comment section. You better believe there will be a My HOH on this topic in the future.

The response to a recent My HOH that mentioned linking your laptop to your cell so you can use your keyboard to type texts caught me a little off-guard. I thought everybody knew about that one. A recent poll I conducted showed otherwise. Check out the results here.

That’s it for this week’s My HOH. Here in the northeast, we’ve experienced a blizzard this weekend. It’s at times like these you are simply grateful to have a roof over your head. Being able to earn a living from underneath is, pardon the pun, icing on the cake.
