But I wouldn't mind having a computer in the home office as a permanent fixture that I can do with as I please. For now I go back and forth from the living room to the office with my laptop.
She did buy me a nice scanner that much quicker than my all-in-one and it scans both sides at the same time.
Isn't what you work on considered proprietary, at some level? Not trying to pick your nose, BTW. My wife's employer was actually looking at employees working from home before the government order came out. Her supervisor even brought her monitors and the interface box to our house! While I don't think mentioning her employer's name is appropriate, I will say that they care about their employees in a way that I never experienced in any company I have EVER worked for.
She has said to tell her what I need. I have been there a month and want to make sure that this is going to last a while before she, or I, invest too much. I really would like to have a desktop for the office...or maybe even another laptop as I really like mine. I have been offered monitors they already have at the office that are pretty new. I just am not quibbling too much over a 15 hour a week job.
I do think one thing I am going to buy is an office chair that won't cripple me like the old task chair my son left here when he moved out.
edit - a lot of what I do is work in programs that are in the cloud. The things I keep local are spreadsheets in progress that I upload to Google docs when they are complete.
