Working from Home

BlackDog · 09-20-2016, 01:23 PM

My employer is good about letting us occasionally work from home. I've been working on the screen porch, and have had a few cigars as well. I call this a win! I've had a LSdL Delirios, a Punch RS 12, a My Father robusto, and a Tampa Sweethearts maduro Rothschild is on deck. Nespresso coffee on the side.

Nice! I work from home a lot as well. I get more done with a cigar than at almost any meeting

AdamJoshua · 09-20-2016, 01:53 PM

This will be one of the low spots of starting over at a new place, after 8 years I pretty much worked at home when ever I wanted and I was always much more efficient at home, at work people tended to stop by and shoot the bull with me constantly or I would go to them, so it really cut down on my production.

Nice! I wish they would allow us to work from home. Even if it was only a couple days a month. Would be nice to get a break from the office setting a little.

Stevez · 09-20-2016, 02:47 PM

I did it too for a couple of years and loved it. I too was much more efficient. Last three years at a bank and no go on working from home. Miss it. Guess I just need to retire.

Previously I worked from home full time for about 2 years. It was great. Had a nice setup. Now I tend to WFH maybe 1 to 2 days a week. I need to get myself a screened in porch.

I used to work from home a lot and it was great. Now that I am unemployed I work from home full time

mosesbotbol · 09-21-2016, 09:03 AM

Been working 90% from home for last 7 years.

Can feel like a prisoner in my own home. Dog loves it; she gets walked like 5-6 time a day.

MarkinAZ · 09-21-2016, 10:05 AM

I've worked from home with a couple of companies for that last 11 years. I can do the same thing at home as one would do in the office. You cut down alot on commuting and saving gas when working from home

Hey, me too! Hopefully, that will be rectified soon. Enjoying my time off though...

Yep! Both of mine love that they get out 4 to 5 times a day too!

Working from home today. Got sunburned on my legs so bad I can't even put pants on....figured that wouldn't go over too well in the office.

I've always hated working from home...I prefer walking over to deal with someone face to face -- meetings by phone are much more challenging for me...in fact, I'm here typing this while pretending to participate in an 'important' meeting

Thing that sucks about working from home is that I am always working!

jonumberone · 09-22-2016, 07:14 AM

I wouldn't want to work from home; my wife is there!
The fact that I can smoke at work helps.

mosesbotbol · 09-22-2016, 08:44 AM

I'll smoke in my office, but seldom do... Now that you mention it, I think I'll have a cigar a little later!

There is that, I would find myself answering emails right up until I was asleep or even working on things to either send out that night or have ready for the next morning.

I avoided working from home for a long time for just that reason. It was good to have that option though when Holly was going through chemo and needed me there. I definitely had to be careful not to over do it though.

I still do it on occasion, and a cigar is often my co-worker...
