Working from home

I get to work and smoke at my home / office every day.

Yeah, my company is pretty much virtual anyway so I work from home about when I'm not onsite with a customer (I do project management). I'm here about 60 to 70% of the time. I only need to go to the office 1 to 2 times per month just to make sure things are going right in my department, which is nice.

I occasionally will work on my laptop at the bar on my back porch and smoke, or on the phone especially during warm conference call days. As others have noted it's sometimes distracting or I find that I've let the 'gar go out (again) while focusing on work.

It does take getting into the right midset to work from home, and I often find myself working longer here than when I go to the office. Must...resist...checking..emails at...7:00 AM!!!

I work harder from home than most people do in their office. But I have also been doing it almost exclusively for 14 years. When the work day begins the house changes to an office. This room turns into my office. The pantry where all the servers are located turns into the server room. The kitchen turns into a break room. All of the comfortable areas of the house are considered lounges. I maintain a professional attitude and if you call me you will never know I am in a home or in an office. I start work by 8:30 every morning and stop around 6 ever evening. I usually take 2 15 minute breaks and a half hour for lunch.

Some of it might sound silly but it is a matter of keeping mentally disciplined.

I am not buying it. That is probably where you hang out some but there is not enough leg room and that chair would not be comfortable for an 8 hour day.

OK Fine......but thats where the smoke breaks are taken!

The wife wont let me smoke in the house so Im reduced to sitting outside in the elements, better scenery out there anyway. The office is nothing special.

My office is nice enough but like you when I am doing something that doesn't require me to sit at a desk I will go for greener pastures. What is the point of working from home if you can't enjoy a few of the perks?

I have been doing it so long it is now an almost foreign concept for me to wear shoes.

Well, then, I guess I'll hate you slightly less, now.

I will admit that I count myself lucky enough to work from wherever I feel like it. One of the benefits of the office though is a little more dicipline - and the abnility to walk to someone's office and get in front of them if they are too slow in answering emails - and for long conference calls - especially ones I am not leading - I can go sit in the car and have a cigar!!
