Default Working from home.

On days like today that I'm really glad that I don't have to commute or sit in some dilbert style office. It's 27C and sunny and I'll be able to work from the garden this afternoon (again).

Does anyone else do this? It's bloody great isn't it.

My work morning consisted of a bit of work, some breakfast, a massage, a walk on the seawall, and now a spot of lunch.

I feel for all the losers who have to commute and work for a living

More or less the same kind of morning for me. Breakfast, walk the dogs, bit of work, some lunch. Just gonna have a cup of tea and then, maybe walk the dogs again, then sit outside for a bit catching up on a report or two and maybe some emails. I hope this weather lasts and lasts.

Are you sure you are not bending the truth? I thought you were busy planting food and digging a bomb proof shelter to shield you from the masses when the entire world goes into financial meltdown

I notice that tens of thousands of British civil servants will be allowed to "work from home" during the Olympics.

And it doesn't sound like they are getting much work done either.

I get my work done. I just do it in my underpants, looking out over the water and mountains, usually finishing at around 10:30am ish.

I've worked from home with many jobs over the past 7 or 8 years so i'd really hate to get a proper job

I`ve been working from home for the last year and would definitely not chose to work in an office again.

I wish I had a job where I had everything done by 10:30.

Doesnt sound too taxing, maybe you could put in a 9-5 shift and take 3 days off
