Working from home
-
Thanks to the accident I had few week back, I have been working from home all the time. Honestly I am loving it. I do have an option of working from home but I used to go to office at least once a week. Now, it's been a month and I do not see any chance of going office in near future. It was a bit difficult for me to adjust in early days. I used to watch movies all day and sleep a lot rather than really working. But now, I work more than what I would at office. How do you cope up with distractions while working from home? I have hardly gone out of home couple of times in last month. Is it something I should worry about since I do not feel like going out at all now.

Why do people today say "I am loving it" instead of "I love it"? :confused:

It has it's perks, but I have found there are nice things about an office to go to as well. When I had a 30 minute commute each way, I was happy to work out an arrangement to work from home a few days a week. Soon it became everyday. The other developers I worked with were in another state, so the office part didn't matter. I scheduled my work time around when the distractions would be minimal. Soon I found I always felt like I needed to be working and in or near my office. There became no clear line between work and home. The next leap was to an office that was a two minute drive from my home. I did this for 6 years, and thought I loved it, but I realized it had the same sort of deceptive trap. I never mentally left the office. I would work right up until the minute I had to leave, and I didn't make the mental shift to leave work behind. If I didn't wrap things up, I always thought "No big deal, I can come back to the office later tonight or this weekend". It wasn't until I found my current position that I have ~20 minute commute both ways. Not too bad. Something magical happens in that 20 minute drive, my mind wanders away from home and focus's towards work by the time I get to the office. When it's close to time to leave, I wind down at the office. I make sure I have completed everything because I don't want to have to drive back because I forgot to take care of something. Then that magical event happens on the way home. What ever stress, problem, or whatever else I was dealing with at work just disappear by the time I get home. I am glad you enjoy your current environment. Just make sure not to become a hermit. Like someone else posted, it can become very lonely as you never tend to leave the house.

If someone asked you "Do you have a car?" would you reply "Yes, I am having one"?

Yes. You could worry. Working from home can be fun but it does make one feel lonely, very lonely.

Unfortunately you may be right. :sigh:

Outside of something bizarre and non-KSS, I can't think of a situation where "I am having a car" would be correct! :laugh:

Because they don't remember the past and don't care about the future?
