Working from Home

With COVID-19 impacting the world, the Walt Disney Company quickly cycled through allowing, encouraging, facilitating and then up to nearly mandatory making work-from-home policies for its employees. With the Products group being “entertainment-industry-adjacent,“ my Disney department quickly took up the opportunity and Friday March 13 we all began the WFH life. 

Following the social media trend of artist’s sharing snapshots of their home work spaces, here is mine. 

It’s a mess. 

If you’d like to spend a few minutes of your day as a minimal escape from the world’s concerns, then you can play this game of find these 20 things. The prize is giving yourself a socially distancing pat on your own back. 

Let me know in the comments how long it takes you to spot all 20.

1. 1)  Painting easel
   
2. 2)  Box of sketchbooks
   
3. 3)  Grey water tub for painting (with 2-paint brushes in the rim holes)
   
4. 4)  Box of Ziploc® bags
   
5. 5)  Stack of paper pads
   
6. 6)  Superman
   
7. 7)  Small, white electric personal fan
   
8. 8)  Bottle of Elmer’s® Glue All
   
9. 9)  Black/ dark grey fishing tackle case (for art supplies)
   
10. 10)  Wooden folding chair
    
11. 11)  Pickle jar
    
12. 12)  Supergirl
    
13. 13)  3 metal rulers of different sizes
    
14. 14)  Mickey Mouse alarm clock.
    
15. 15)  Black manual pencil sharpener
    
16. 16)  2 heavy duty moving boxes that have been cut down to half size
    
17. 17)  Collected lanyardsof different colors (but mostly are black)
    
18. 18)  Digital picture frame
    
19. 19)  White clip-on light
    
20. 20)  Pack of 9-volt batteries
    

There are plenty more thing in the picture, but the task of visually identifying them is thwarted by the picture resolution and/or, like many of the boxes, have little or no distinguishing features. For example, I can see the paper shredder, but there’s not enough of it visible from this angle for anyone else to make it out, although with those clues, I’m sure many of you can propose an educated guess or two.

Stay safe. Stay healthy.
