Sometimes when I write about been at one place I don't know if I should use at or in.
For example:
I'm in my work in this moment or
I'm at my work in this moment.
I would say "I'm at work right now".
Other examples:
I'm at home
I'm in bed
I'm in the kitchen
I'm at the beach
I'm on the phone
I'm in trouble
I'm at my wits end
- "I'm at work" OR "I'm at the office". If you want to be more specific you could say "I'm at my desk" OR "I'm in my office" (referring to your own private room at your workplace).
- "I'm on the phone/computer" and "They're showing the game on TV tonight".
- "I was at home in my room on the computer at 10:00pm".
Prepositions can be tricky. You can find some good examples of how to use them at the following links:

Any question dear Andrea...
Some advanced examples for "in":
- a country in africa
- An island in the pacific
- canards in the newspaper
in & at for places:
in: to a position which is a component of a coherent larger area:
-I'm in the bed/kitchen/room/balcony/toilet/bathroom/yard -> all of them are coherent & inside the home
at: not to a position inside a coherent area,
- at home/school/the supermarket/the door ->all of them are components of a town but not coherent, not related to each other
