working from home...

I am a finance manager and pretty much anything I do in the office, I can do from home. I work from home a day or two a week because I have a 100+ mile commute each day so I waste a couple hours a day driving when I could be getting work done. Working from home is ok and it has it's pros and cons, but I prefer the social interaction at the office most days.

 

In the summer I tend to work from home more because my daughter is out of school and on the days I have her I can work out by the pool while she swims with her friends. I am fortunate to have a job that allows me to to do that and spend as much time with her as I do.

I can get work done at home, but I can't make money at home.

 

Gotta be in front of people for me to "make" money, the stuff that I can do from home is trying to set up those face to face meetings.

 

Friend of mine just started working from home, and she seems to be going a little crazy not having the social interaction.

1-2x a week, and since we have a home office, I feel like I get a lot more done during the day depending on what needs to be done.  If I have to sit down and write a proposal, grant, manuscript, etc. it is easier to do it at home instead of closing the office door since that hasn't stopped anyone in any work place, ever.

This is where I am as well, except I have to be in the office on Monday morning for meetings. If I'm not there I'll be on the road because I don't accomplish as much sitting behind the desk.

 

I need to have the social interaction as well. Hell, been home alone for the last 7 months before I got back to work, last thing I want to do is sit around the house some more...

I just got in another traffic accident this morning (rear-ended; not my fault). Second since Jan 1. I just can't stand commuting anymore. I'm about to tell my boss I can do my job 100% from home, and start working from home on my laptop. My job isn't worth risking my life for, and living in DC, I'm honestly taking my life in my hands every time I drive to work. In the age of the Internet, the home office should be the default for most office jobs.

I theoretically could do my job from anywhere since it is all web based.

 

I don't like working at home though. I only work a mile from home, so I'd much rather go in and interact with my coworkers than sit at home by myself.

 

We worked from home during the DNC to avoid dealing with the closed roads, and I liked it for a day. The rest of the time was pretty boring.

If I need to bang through a response, rfp, presentation then home is the best place.

 

I like the social interaction...

 

I worked from home for several years and will still do it if I need to be home for some reason (cable guys 15 hour window) but my preference is the office

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By countryboi · Posted

      The thing I hate about strength of schedule is that NFL teams change so much over a year and past success or failure doesn't really dictate future success or failure

      Considering you previously struggled to understand BTT despite it being explained in a video, write-up, and multiple replies, I get why this might be a little too complex for you. Happy to clarify again! Just let me know which part tripped you up this time. 😉

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.
