I had been working from home most days for quite a while and then was exiled (by taking away my office for some big shot muckitymuck) to only working form home. That was at the end of January.

It is a common thread over the years that doing things to me can earn the doer's some really bad karma. Now that everyone works from home, no one has my office.

Mwah-hah-hah!
