I'm jealous of people who have an actual office in their house. I sit in a corner of the basement, next to "the kids' desk" that my wife actually uses (we both work from home). My keyboards are behind me, and during the 20+ years that we've lived in this house, the entire rest of the basement has slowly filled up with stuff. The last time I lived in a place with an office was our first apartment where we lived when our son was born. It was a three-bedroom townhouse that we got a great deal on, and the third bedroom was the office. Once kid #2 came along, it was all over.
