Visit Katy and Ryan's blog for the story on how they started their blog Trapped in the Office. To quote their own profile:
"Trapped in the Office Who are we?
Katy and Ryan are two people in their twenties. Both have run screaming away from their desks in a corporate sweat-shop to live and work at home. We’ve started a business doing writing from our home, and this is our attempt at a little social interaction, because lately, it seems that if we’re not shopping for dog food at Wal-Mart, we’re
She works hard for the money, so you better treat her right.
All Katy wants for Christmas, is her own two domains, one for Trapped in The Office and one for her professional page. All you wish granters out there, make this hard working lady smile on Christmas morning with her most desired wish.
Since becoming a freelance writer, Katy longs for the social life she once had working in the public arena, greeting folks and interacting. The Freelance Writer's life is a romantic notion, as most will attest, that has miles to go to actualize its romantic fantasies.
Send Katy an email or drop a comment on her blog, and she will brighten up for the day. Or, invite her out on the town with Ryan for a gathering of Freelance Writers. Who knows, maybe Katy will get a chance to dance like those hard working ladies on Donna Summer's video, "She Works Hard for the Money"? Katy did not mention dancing as a hobby, but it is probably a great idea for all freelancers who sit Trapped in The Office to get out on the town and move a little. Although, Katy does hint at favoring the Cha Cha.
An avid TV buff, Katy has a huge Nascar obsession, unlike her partner Ryan who does not like Nascar at all. To see tons of her Nascar photos, visit Katy's My Space. However, the couple enjoys snuggling together to watch their favorite TV shows or movies. Katy has a long list of favorite shows to include House, Bones, Dr.Who, Fringe, Dexter, and Supernatural; to name a few. When she is not watching TV or writing, Katy loves to read. Her favorite authors include Kathy Reichs, Sandra Brown, and Sue Grafton.
Katy is a wonderful sport, a lady with a charming style and personality. Personally, I enjoy every interaction with Katy Lindamood. On their blog, Katy involves her readers while Ryan engages them with his writing style. Katy is a gentile person who grew up in a small southern Ohio town called Wheelersburg until she graduated high school. The oldest of three children, Katy spent her younger years helping her Mom with her sister, now 23, and her brother who is now 20. Except for time spent with the High School Band, Katy kept to herself most of the time.
High School graduation took Katy to Dayton, Ohio where she studied Education at the University of Dayton. Later returning home to Wheelersburg for another year of College, Katy decided that teaching was not the future whe wanted. Three years after graduation, Katy pursued further education with the online University of Phoenix in pursuit of a degree focusing on human resources.
In that small southern Ohio town that Katy called home for most of her growing years, she met the love of her life, Ryan Lindamood. Working as cashiers at Lowe's they met, sparks flew when they discovered an instant connection between them. Within a few months they moved in together, were engaged a year later. Katy and Ryan sealed their destiny when they were married on August 21, 2004. The rest of this couple's life story is making history on Trapped in The Office.
Living as husband and wife near Huntington, West Virginia, Katy and Ryan are a family of two and their dogs who mean the world to them. Located about an hour from where they both grew up, this couple is close to the homes of their youth, which were neighboring towns.
Katy Lindamood, Freelance Writer
Among the sites for which Katy writes, we find some popular Freelance Writing job providers like a couple of her favorites, Quality Gal (www.qualitygal.com)and Demand Studios (www.demandstudios.com). Katy's private clients keep her busy and trapped in the office. Some of her work can be viewed atAssociated Content and E How. Now you won't find Katy Lindamood at eHow because she writes under the pseudonym Donna Noble – It’s a Doctor Who reference.
Even though Ryan grew up in a town ten minutes away from Katy, they waited years to meet and fall in love. The youngest of three children, he was raised by his parents as well as a neighbor who helped care for him while his parents worked. After High School Ryan attended Miami University in Ohio where he majored in Business.
When the neighbor who looked after him as a child became ill, he returned home to help take care of her. It was during this time that Katy and Rayn started dating.
In the six years that Ryan and Katy have been together, Ryan's main field of expertise in the working world has been as an insurance industry salesman. Currently, he is registered to sell life and health products in 47 states. Ryan's venture into freelance writing started when Katy became overwhelmed with the number of projects taken up which caused her to panick. Like a true hero and life partner, Ryan jumped in to help which helped him to realize how much he enjoyed freelance writing.
As for Ryan's personal life , he is a huge fan of sci-fi and loves to read. When Ryan isn't writing, he is online playing EVE or playing with the family dogs. An excellent cook, Katy says that Ryan's lasagna "is to die for". Ryan enjoys all the same shows that Katy enjoys so they find mutual time together watching TV.
You can read Ryan Lindamood's work on eHow under the Pseudonym Mickey Smith, another Doctor Who reference.
