Pardon my frustration this fine Saturday morning. My DH is driving me nuts. Waiting for him to help me with the kids is making my frustration ooze out of my ears. The situation is that my work station is in our living room. Prior to COVID it served as the sole family computer. Now that we're distant learning, I have my two youngest in here with me on their zoom meetings M-F from about 8 to noon. This works as they are pretty engaged but I can immediately help them if they need something. So I definitely want to mostly keep it here.
Right now I'm trying SO hard to work with numbers for an upcoming audit and I'm ALMOST done and the craziness of life is up on top of me. I need to wait for DH to take them somewhere but his concept of time does NOT match mine. (AKA, his "I'll take them somewhere tomorrow morning so you can work in peace" translates to it is 11:04 and they are still crowding around my desk nagging me...) True, it is difficult to take the kids anywhere right now. But with this weather and with crowds the park is much better in the early morning. GRRRRR.
I would love at these times to work in my room with a door that locks.
But I need a giant monitor because I'm comparing multiple spreadsheets.
SO, has anyone here regularly just up and moved their DESKTOP computer from one room to another fairly regularly? DH has a setup where (pre-COVID) he has a really nice laptop that plugs into a Cintiq that he has at work and similar setup at home. I don't know that I want to put money into buying a laptop and an additional monitor at this time though. Maybe I'm imagining a CART? Or I don't know what...
Looking for creative solutions.
Because right now I'm just silently growling at everyone and that is NOT effective...
