he was right
Friday, August 19th, 2011 11:23 pmWhen I first got my work laptop computer, Qiao predicted that pretty soon, I'd be keeping both my personal laptop and work laptop running when working from home, and that I'd be using them both at the same time, switching back and forth between them.
I thought, "Nah, that's not likely. When I'm working, I only need my work computer on. And when I'm done working, I only need my personal laptop on. There's no reason to have them both on."
But he was right. Many a time, I find reason to use them both at the same time. Not even for goofing off, but for actual work purposes.
For example, when the work laptop was having the reboot problem (which may have finally gotten fixed this week (yay!)), I'd bring up web-ex (online) meetings on my personal laptop so that if the work laptop spontaneously rebooted, at least I wouldn't be kicked out of the meeting.
Other times, I'll do web searches or bring up my work email on my personal laptop, while for whatever reason, my work laptop is non-spontaneously rebooting or otherwise occupied.
Sometimes when the work day is over, but I still have some more work I want to get done, I may bring up personal stuff on my personal laptop, and work stuff on the work laptop, and switch between them.
