Anyone else do any work from home? I’ve started doing a day a week (depending on the type of work going on). Not having almost 2 hours of driving definitely helps out, and I can get an earlier start. Not to mention how much more efficient I can be (no people dropping in, less distractions, better monitor, etc.). It all helps out, especially with the 73 hour week last week. ---

I’ve been trying to convince them to let me do this. They won’t let me. I should find a place that would. It would be so much better. No random dropper-inners. ---

I have been allowed to in the past, about twice per month. I get stuff done so fast when I work at home. ---

I do this on occasion, usually if the weather is bad I send email to my staff letting them know they can reach me at home 🙂 ---

I do this quite frequently, just worked at home yesterday actually. I have an office setup at home that I just close the door and get shit done. It works out for me and my boss is cool with it. ---

Most of my work is remote work and it is definately easier to do at home, when the kids are asleep or at school. When the kids are there I don’t get anything done for work. ---

Figure you use about 3.5 gallons of gas everyday just to go to work(roundtrip)…@ $3.50/gal you are spending about $13 everyday just in gas. ---

Hell I only work 12 miles from home and I calculated it out to be $3/day in gas if my car gets a little better than 25 mpg… I’d love to be able to work from home. ---

A large part of my work is from home, the rest is client visits. I’d say I go to my actual office once a month. Literally. I get car reimbursement/mileage pay and it’s still not worth driving to the office. But then again, I’m in CA, all the reps I manage sit in CT, and my clients are here. :shurg: -TJ ---
