Default Change of career for me.

I have started working from home and love it! I can make tea when I like, listen to music, eat when I like, and the best part is I am my own boss

I will now be posting a lot in another section of BE, so watch out for my posts.

Thats all the advertising I will do mods - promise

Nice. Working from home is the bloody great - I'm glad you're enjoying it.

I'll be working from home today up Cypress Mountain for a little while

I dread the day when i have to work full time in an office. It'll be as soul destroying as having to live like people in the grocery shopping thread

I quite like my 10 minute walk to the office. Even in the winter.

My version of that is to walk the dogs.

My commute to work is to climb the stairs to the attic office. The congestion on the stairs with the kids toys some days can be a real bitch.

Well done Miss Clinique. It's a good life.

Nice!

I have a homebased business as well. I do also work out of the house at the moment while I am building up my client base, but hopefully, I will be able to be entirely homebased eventually.

The only problem with working from home is that the Christmas office party is rather sad. Still, it doesn't stop me getting pissed and photocopying my arse.

Default Re: Change of career for me.

I think in some ways I'd like to work from home, but all the distractions mentioned above would keep me from achieving anything much at all. I could not be disciplined enough.

Congrats to Miss Clinique though - sounds like you are happy in your new job!
