Completely off topic, but the mobile office is a very old idea - and one that works quite well. When I finished the university I worked for 1.5 year as a site engineer in a construction site, where we were building a water supply, irrigation and waste water network for some remote villages. The construction site was more or less 80 kilometers long and the only way to cope with it, was a mobile office.
The mobile office was brilliant. It was a '78 Nissan van with a brilliant 2.5l carburated engine and ample space in the rear. I had managed to fit a proper desk with an office chair and I had a power generator always me, so that I could power a laptop, make coffee and maintain a small fridge with beers.
The only problem with that mobile office was rust. There were more rust holes on it than sheetmetal, and each time a hail storm would meet it, the roof would become a colander. When the construction was finished, I was more sad that I had to give away my mobile office, than the fact that I had to look for another job.
The years straight out of engineering school were, by far, the most fun years!
