miss my children when they won’t go away? 🙂
I’m glad school starts again tomorrow.
Are you saying you like the house quiet once in a while? (I ‘member those days …)
this is fun.
Return of the Condor is now cross-posted.
Done.
I have to log in there frequently. Do they automatically log out people who don’t visit the site for a day or so?
So NYAH!
How’s Civ IV?
Incredibly addictive. I’ve had to limit myself in the amount of time I spend playing, or I’ll never see the sun again.
I’m not sure when I’m at work or not…
as a rational and cost-cutting move, our company closed/eliminated serveral offices nationwide, and the employees who were retained were ‘transitioned’ to work from home. As long as you have high-speed internet and a company-paid phone line, cell phone and computer, why not?
The advantages are that there’s no commute to ‘the office.’ You can work in your bathrobe all day if you like.
The downside: there’s a total blurring of when you’re at work and when you’re not. I and most of the people in this work situation log in and work, answer emails and IM, etc. on official company holidays, nights, weekends, whatever — no 40-hour week at the office. I know this is compulsive behavior, and one could ‘opt out’ of this, but there’s always the spectre of ‘just just not producing enough’, or ‘could have done more’ in the back of your mind, together with the ‘what do I do without the company-paid family health insurance?’ if they decide to do without me …
So, it’s not really ‘Back to WORK’, it’s just another day in the high-tech world.
The real problem is that once you prove that your job can be done long distance by telecommuting, the company can ship it to China or India where someone will work for pennies on the dollar. I telecommuted for almost two years and loved it until the rug got pulled out from under me.
… with WaPo.
