This is fucking sweet! I just got off a conference call and im in my boxers and I haven’t even showered today. I took a 10% pay bump to do less work… I like how this is turning out. ---

Working from home after a while tends to get bad… i dont think i would mind it, only because 90% of my day is spent in front of a computer, and i like my setup at home better… and i could do more work on it, and work after hours ---

I would want to full-time just for the dress code and having to go outside on these winter mornings. 🖕 It’s only on a sporadic basis right now. ---

citi offers work from home, but they come into your house, and install a corporate computer and phone line. You get to take calls non stop from your home… ---

my favorite work from home option is what i do when my boss is out of town. Wake up at 8:59 and work from home mornings, roll out of bed at noon, take my shower and drive to work on my “lunch break”, then work in the office from 1 to 5. ---

I did it full time for the past 5 years. There are days that never end and you get restless especially during the winter. That being said, I would definitely do it again instead of going into the office full time. Waking up at 7:29 and being in the “office” at 7:30 is priceless. ---

Ahh yes… the 10 foot commute. When I’m not traveling I work from home too. I like workin in the jammies and having a kitty in my lap during conference calls. ---

I’ve been working from home (self employed) for just over a year now. It does get old after a while, your own four walls are only so entertaining. But I can’t beat snuggling with the kitties all day, or taking an xbox break. I also tend to have a beer with lunch, and really enjoy that.
