Workin' from home

[johnridley]

I've been hosting a cold virus for a few days, so I've been working from home since Wednesday. The only real problem with this is, I don't really stop working until bedtime. At work, at some point I pack up and come home, and then it's generally a bother to start up the VPN and remote desktop, so I don't usually bother unless I get an alert.

Upside, this is the season where things need my attention at work more, and there's much less to do at home with no outside stuff to speak of. And OT pay is nice. Downside, the dishes and vacuuming and such isn't getting much attention.

I'll probably go in on Monday; I'm still snerfling a bit, but I'm feeling pretty good and I'm probably past contagious. It was a pretty lightweight cold and I wouldn't have paid it any mind except that for my job, working from home does not detract from my ability to do my job in the least. It's too bad the prez doesn't like people working from home. Luckily in my case he didn't have much of a choice; several times a year I need to monitor things until midnight or later.

Dishes and vacuuming - huh? You have kids. Have them do dishes and vacuuming. It's a Life Skill. They need to know how to do it. Ditto cleaning the bathroom, and doing the laundry.
