Noone does in Australia. They're too busy chained to their desks ...allegedly..

I do! Doing it now. It's a craze in my company..people just decide on a day-to-day basis.

Don't give me that face!

The company I work for try and encourage everyone to do it, I can go back in on a day I want or I can stay at home, it's very liberating! They told us it works out cheaper to have "at home" workers than to have them in offices in cities.

I am the only one working from our office in Canberra. Although I do commute every 3/4 weeks for the day.

The benefits are huge...I can go out on the lawn mower ride thingy and cut the grass in my lunch hour, peg out clothes in my coffee break...leaving all weekend to do the really important family stuff :-)

I also work from home or from the office, depending on what needs doing.

I love it!! I get so much done, washing is put in after my OH leaves for work, I can hang it out in a coffee break. I also sit outside in the sun on warm days. Its lovely.

I did find not having aircon in the summer a bit tedious, but that was the only issue. Oh and getting bored, I spend all day connected to Skype and MSN.

Sorry Mrs Patterson . . .

I'm never off Facebook at the minute

On your own pc or the company's . . . there's likely to be a tracking mcthingymyjig on the company's watching your every keystroke . . .

LouiseR

Company's. They don't mind us going on facebook, ebay and the likes, they'd be very bored if they had a tracking mcthingymyjig, my FB page is quite tame really!

Just to clarify . . . this is a real job, and not just a figment of your imagination?

I do my facebooking in the morning, all the peeps I chat to on FB are in the UK or Saffa so I get a big hit in the morning and then nothing for the rest of day.

But I do get my work done too, its just with no commuting and no one to talk to, you have so much more time to get on with the real work and get it done. I really like my arrangement at the moment

My company is pretty relaxed too, as long as the work is done!

My OH works for a company that does social networking - he gets paid to facebook!!!

LouiseR

I think so... They deposit money in my account every 2 weeks...

My company are ok, they won't let us download skype or msn onto the computers for fear we'll break them! but they're pretty relaxed about internet usage. I don't get chance not to do my work because customers ring me all day!

Our company was advertising a position for someone to twitter for them!
