One of my favourite parts about working from home is that I can take short breaks to walk around, stretch, or cuddle Blahaj whenever I want :3

A digital drawing of my canine fursona sitting on the floor in their room and cuddling a Blahaj (IKEA’s shark plushie). They look very happy. Their work laptop is on a desk in the foreground, implying that they are cuddling a plushie instead of working. End alt text.

Working from home is great. I can wear whatever I want, as much or little as I want. Take a guilt free nap. If I had a fursuit, I would probably wear most of it a good amount of the time.
Wearing whatever you want is another big plus! My coworkers have only ever seen my face and my shoulders because their office is 200km away. And working in a fursuit sounds fun as long as nobody messages you for a quick video call :3c
Just never turn on the camera on those days.
I had one in person meeting with my previous group (I’m about 600 Miles away) and it was strange seeing how tall everybody is, especially because I am not.
Bring your blahaj into work day
That should be every day!
Bring your blahaj into work year :3
I’ll ask my next employer to add that to the contract :3
Is a blahaj that comfortable to cuddle? I thought it was a meme, but suddenly I’m wondering if I’m missing out
I have a small Blahaj (55 cm long, there’s a one-metre version, too) that I’d rate medium-to-good in terms of cuddlability, maybe a 7-ish out of ten. Its stuffing is soft but still offers a good amount of resistance when you squeeze it, so you actually feel its body when you hug it. The size is a bit small for full-body cuddling, but it’s great for cuddles on a chair; I like to put it on my forearm or hold it between my body and my elbow when I’m typing, but the bigger version would be better for cuddles when I’m in bed or standing up, or when you want to dance with it. It has very little fluff (like, the “fur” of a plushie), which makes it a bit “harder” than fluffier ones, but not uncomfortably hard. I often find myself holding Blahaj’s fins / hands because they’re the perfect size for that, I think. It’s also very compact and doesn’t have any long limbs (like tails, big ears, long arms) that make it more difficult to handle.
I’d say that small Blahaj is a plushie with a great form factor and a good compromise between portability and cuddlability, but this also means that it doesn’t excel at anything. For more specific purposes, there are other plushies that are more suitable than Blahaj, but it’s still a great all-rounder for the average person. If you already have plushies that suit you well, I wouldn’t say you’re missing out, but if you don’t have any, it’s a good entry-level plushie :3
How dare you obfuscate the great Thinkpad logo! Although respect for old IBM style keys.
I have two Thinkpads, one from my employer and one that’s actually mine, and it kinda helps to think of the former as a “Workpad.” The work one is a T490S, my private one a T480, and although there are plenty of small differences, they still look alike. Having separate names for them makes it easier not to associate my T480 with work.
