What It's About
A caller working from home realizes it's great until it isn't.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1481
Have you been spending a lot of time indoors, talking to someone on the other side of the screen … perhaps with a partner or small child or roommate nearby who’s also trying to work online?

In today’s story, a listener is feeling cooped up and wants to find a small space outside her home to dedicate to her electronics repair service."Hi Chris, this is Sara and I just started listening after a friend recommended it. I've been working at home recently, and it's a little crowded. To devote more time to my side hustle repairing headphones and other electronic items, I'd like to rent a small workplace near my home. Among other things, I'm thinking it would help to separate the time I spend on my day job from the time I spend on my after-hours job. I looked at getting office space, but it seemed really expensive. Is there somewhere I could rent for maybe $200-300 a month, or perhaps even less? What’s your thoughts on this? Thanks!
