Believe it or not, YUD is working for two weeks straight outside of the confines of her own home.  This is unprecedented! Kinda like the old days, except with bigger muscles and less money to show for it.
Today I&#8217;m in dreary east midtown, where the rains beat the windows spanning the [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s talk keyboards. See, I&#8217;m working with one—how do you not work with one? It would be almost like working without a computer, and goodness knows how we&#8217;d get anything done then!
Anyway, when you&#8217;re a freelancer you end up getting put at any number of desks with any number of keyboards. The [...]]]></description>

It is a strange sensation to be completely alone on the 15th floor of a midtown office building. When I arrived circa 10:30, the lights in the kitchen were still off.  The toilets had not been used since their last cleaning. And it&#8217;s cold, so cold I&#8217;m wearing my coat, [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s talk unemployment attire.  Or, work-from-home attire, if you prefer.
For YUD, it goes something like this:  Wake up in the morning, take off pajamas as a matter of propriety, put on workout pants of some sort (usually black, once in a while gray), a sports bra of some ilk [...]]]></description>

I have to go into the office.  I have had this hanging over me since last night, and I still have yet to do it.  It&#8217;s probably a 10-minute cab ride, 30 by bus, but it&#8217;s grey outside and I&#8217;m just so productive with my ass in my lovely [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m heading into the office shortly, and I must say, this part-time schedule is quite delicious.  It forces me to plan my days to some degree (gym at 8:30 am, for instance—my most dramatic arrival yet!) but allows for plenty of freeform behavior, all at the same time. 
I may be [...]]]></description>

Back when I was a high schooler, I always thought I wanted to be a big-time New York City lawyer, or a novelist living in a cabin in Maine. Instead I became a &#8220;big-time&#8221; (ie., small-to-middling-time) [...]]]></description>

Somewhere in West Midtown there is a publishing universe unbent by time, untainted by this recession.  There, the halls are wide, the walls white, the air conditioners cool.  The lobby attendants smile and wish you a good day—even, perhaps, make a joke about &#8220;stairways to heaven&#8221; as you board the smudge-free stainless escalators [...]]]></description>
