Random Thoughts on My Virtual Office

I changed commercial brokerages at the start of the new year, so I have begun to work out of my "virtual" office (actually the spare bedroom downstairs).

It has actually been a pretty easy transition since I had most of the equipment, my laptop, my broadband connection, my laser and ink jet (for color) printers, my cell phone and a fax machine (yes, some of us still use fax machines). I still haven't decided what to do about the phone system (sometimes it's nice to have a land line), but I'll deal with that later.

My new brokerage provided the email address, web site and mailing address, so that made that part of the office transition painless. However, I decided to get an eFax number (I'll let you know how that works out) so I wouldn't have to get 2 phone lines.

I can already see some of the benefits, i.e., no commute. However, I can also see of the disadvantages, i.e., being too close to the kitchen. I plan on occasionally posting on my transition to my virtual office.
