I had a good laugh on the visiting the zoo one. I went on vacation recently and hit the San Diego zoo on a Monday- let me tell you, I WISH I was the only one there. I know it’s a bigger draw then the Orlando locations, but it was PACKED!

[...] an oil change. Although, it’s every three months, whether you drive it or not. Michael Kwan put together a list of things you do (or don’t do) when you start working from home. Fortunately, I could relate [...]

Well, I can leave myself in the employed somewhere other than home. I’d love to be able to work from home, but don’t have the lead money to just do it for 6 months.

I related to all of those. lol

Working from home is great, but as for the oil change, it’s every three months, or kilometres (whichever comes first).

I find getting actual work done at home is the hardest part of working from home. Even though I have an office, the lure of other things in the home have a pull.

I’ve recently found a desk at a “real” office where I can come and go as I please while getting a “real” workplace ethic reinforced.

Another colleague experienced the same problem. Even with the door closed, when your wife and infant are at home too, they will call your name and ask for help. He rents out a very small workspace for $150/mo (less than the minimum latte ration by hanging at a cafe) and has a chance to get real work done.

Even when you “work from home” sometimes you need to find a place outside your home to get any real work done.
