Hot Desking Day 1

It'll get better as I get used to it. Today, I couldn't remember where I'd put my computer. I usually leave it at Cowork, but I don't have a locked desk there anymore. It took me about fifteen or twenty minutes to find it in the most sensible place I could have thought of: on my roll-top desk at home. Fortunately, everything that goes with it was all there, so I hadn't lost anything.
Having it at home since last Friday afternoon was a blessing, because on Friday night Cowork was broken into, and people lost laptop computers, hard disks, camera equipment and a couple of bikes. My stuff was safe at home--even though I forgot where.
Then I tried to use my cell phone here a few minutes ago. Battery dying, red line! Charging cord? At home. Luckily, one of the guys here lent me his, so my phone is now charging. Must not forget to pack that in my suitcase and keep the computer et al there too.
I must pack the suitcase ready for all eventualities.
The only other thing that I'm missing is my log book. I always take note of the day, date and time of my attendance at Cowork, and what I intend to do on arrival and how much I've accomplished or what I didn't get done, when I pack it up for the day somewhere around six or seven at night. I call a cab and go home around that time. I also note how much money I spend on taxis and lunches, etc. That notebook is at home, somewhere safe, no doubt.
