One for the con list of working at home

Since starting Blueprint I've been working from home a bunch. It doesn't make sense to use our money on rented office space so we meet clients at their office, local Starbucks, or sometimes at a restaurant. Chelsea and I are creative when meeting with each other. So far we've:

-Discussed business while en route to meeting a client, networking event, or professional happy hour. This means a lot of fast chatter and interrupting.

-Met at Chelsea's house late at night in her office. This means a lot of exasperated sighs and calculation of hours of sleep we can afford to miss in order to get work done.

-Met over dinner. This means we forget to eat because we're too engrossed in business talk. Worst possible place to meet by far since we are both extremely grumpy when hungry.

So, we work a lot at home and I've actually grown to like it...but there are distractions. While most people chalk their distractions up to the internet (facebook, online shopping, AIM or gchatting) I get distracted by my furry companions.



Furry companion #1
Furry companion #2
Annnd #1 and #2 together.

With their constant begging for attention, snoring (yes, one does snore. It is loud.) and potty breaks, I'm rethinking the whole "let's wait to get an office" thing.

I'm back gang! Introducing Blueprint PR and Design!!

Are you there bloggers? It's me....Sloane...

I know, I know, it's been MONTHS since my last post. It's shameful and frankly I've been embarrassed to even begin writing a post because of my slacker behavior. Before you all roll your eyes and begin navigating towards another (faithful) blogger, allow me to explain my reasoning. I at least get a chance to explain, right?

To make a realllllly long, long, long story short...(big breath)....I ventured out on my own, well, almost on my own (shout out to Chelsea, my partner in crime!), and started a company. Let me just say this: Starting a company is.not.easy. I'm working like 60 hour weeks here plus weekends (cry me a river, I know) and it doesn't leave too much time for blogging.

BUT, now that I have slowly but surely regained a bit of control--you know, able to get at least 6 hours of sleep, eating things other than cereal, and not forgetting to feed my dog anymore--I'm BACK.

If you can forgive me for ignoring blogland for such a long period of time, please feel free to support my (and Chelsea's) company by checking out our website, blog page, twitter page, and facebook fan page. (Social networking anyone?)

Oh, and should you have a PR, Design, or Brand related question, you know who to talk to.
