Meet my office assistants

6 June 2012

I’m a solo entrepreneur with no employees (though occasionally I work with great subcontractors when I lead team projects), but I don’t work alone. Every day, my home office is also occupied by my standard poodle, Kirby and orange tabby cat, Joe.

I took pictures of Joe and Kirby just a few minutes ago. Here’s Kirby, curled up in his chair in my office, doing what he does best: sleeping. He’s not all that helpful, generally speaking (except for his company, of course), but he’s easy to be around.

Kirb's a very easy office mate.

And here’s Joe, doing what he does best: taking up space on my desk and getting in my face. You’ll notice he’s right where my keyboard should be…I had to move it to my lap because my unhelpful cat was lying on it. Joe (who, incidentally, drank out of the glass of water—intended for me—that’s behind him in the picture) is a regular impediment to my productivity but he’s also a great (and frequent) reminder of the need to take breaks and take time to accept a little loving.

Joe's actually not very helpful.

I thought you might want a little peek at the furry folks who alternate between annoying me and keeping me sane as I work on my business.
