that’s really green
By heather | May 20, 2009
So guess what? Just like I always thought, the grass on the work-from-home side of the fence really IS greener.
I knew it!
I finished out the last contract with the hellish commute and manager who isn’t qualified to manage a hot dog stand last Friday. At first I was sad, because…well, I don’t really know why. There are a few people there that I’ll miss I suppose. But now as I sit here in my office/guest room next to an open window looking out at clear, perfect blue sky enjoying a breeze and having just finished a delightful homemade lunch that wasn’t all soggy because I packed it last night, I really can’t think of any other reason that an office would be preferable.
Until I get accounts set up to be online at my new place I’m working from home because this client would rather I be WORKING rather than just sitting where they can see me pick my nose for lack of other activity.
I’ve heard all the advice out there on working from home, especially about getting ready as if you were going to an office. Although I did it yesterday and the day before, today I have ignored that and have yet to shower. I also had blueberry pie for a mid morning snack but at least I’m eating at home. I can run a load of laundry when I get up to take breaks instead of listen to a co-worker bitch or make small talk with someone who’s name I can’t remember.
In short, it’s everything I thought it would be. Delightful.

I think working from home is great, especially when there are occasional reasons to meet with people face to face.
Is it still working for you, or are you commuting once more?
