Tea – Remote Working – OneNote

Today’s photo is for an article Kamila is writing for Octagon about the way we are a company that fully embraces remote and home working.

The shot was not staged. I had stopped off in Octagon’s current favourite wifi cafe to write up some notes in Microsoft OneNote on my iPod Touch. Once synchronised other members of the Octagon team can quickly be using my notes.

Being able to work where ever I am is good for my time management. I can work on and share files in the cloud between meetings and appointments without wasting time travelling back to a fixed office.

Battery life

When working on the road, keeping things charged is always a priority. By using my iPod Touch it saves the battery life of my iPhone and iPad. The owners of this cafe have allowed me charge my phone whilst having lunch.

At Octagon we are helping our clients to take advantage of the benefits of home and remote working, saving money and creating a happy teams.

One of the pieces of kit I regularly carry when I walk is a pocket sized 10×20 monocular and this morning it came in useful for watching the hares whilst I stopped for my tea. Sitting quietly, hidden, in a gap in the hedge (to get out of the wind) and once the dog walkers had passed out of sight the hares came out, racing across the fields. I saw at least two hares and a selection of rabbits.
