Hey, this is Otep, and thanks for visiting my blog again! This time, I want to kick off a series aimed at helping you improve your work-from-home experience. As someone who’s been working remotely for a while, I know how important it is to have the right setup. When I first started working from home, my company provided me with a desktop and two monitors.
