If you’ve been to The House of PM, then you know that I live in something of an un-developed warehouse.  Back in 2006, I thought I could paint the walls, go crazy personalizing the room, etc.  But I’m just a boy.  I just unpacked and settled.

My room’s basically a juxtaposition of the old 2nd-floor hallway and a girl’s room.  Walls were shifted, making one big room.  This is the smaller side, which is the “office” side.

They say the place where you work is a big part of the work process.  I gotta love mine — it’s less than 10 feet from where I sleep.  (Where most of the imagination and think-work happens.)

Things you could find in the hrudu office:

1.  Pencil and paper. This is where almost everything starts.  Plus, when I’m bored, I doodle.

2.  x-year-old PC. My PC may be a minor in human years, but in PC years, it needs a little catching up.  Although it does get the job done.  CRT, beybeh!

3.  Yosi. Not that people should be proud of their addictions.  I’ve noticed that I smoke a bit more now, well, since because I don’t need to get on an elevator, or risk-smoking-near-that-open-window-by-that-bathroom-that-no-one-uses-while-trying-to-blow-out-the-smoke-so-that-I-won’t-trigger-the-smoke-alarms.  Yeh.

4.  Sewing machine. I use an old sewing machine for a computer table.  The pedal doesn’t do anything ‘cept for working up a sweat.  Pedaling = exercise, more oxygen in the brain.  More oxygen in the brain = greater thinking power.  (The only reason it’s covered by an ugly-ass tablecloth is because I haven’t finished varnishing it yet.)

5.  Office chair. It isn’t the nice, comfy, stick-to-your-bum leather ones.  The less comfortable it is, the more I want to get my job done faster.

6.  Books. The shelf’s out — it took too much room.  Most of the books here are for reference.  Mostly comics.

7-8.  Toys. Some pieces of expensive plastic.

9.  Aircon. For hot days.  Adik sa kuryente.

10.  Unfinished wall. I did plan on painting it.  Only I didn’t.  The blander it is, the more I want to sleep.

11.  The USB camera/mic thing. For meetings.

12.  Sentinel. To guard against mutants.  Like classmates from highschool who seem to pop up here in the batcave.  Blegh.  I’m proud of this one — it took several week’s worth of allowance to complete!

13.  Horny beetle. Provides inspiration and little voices.

14.  Alcohol. To set things on fire with.

What about you?  What kind of workplace do you get the most job done?
