Telecommuting has its ups and downs
But your house has no elevators. Think about that.
So this morning was telecommute day for Jeremy, as I attended to some stuff at home. Working at home is great in that you don't have to drive anywhere, you can sleep in a little bit to account for the difference in commute time, you don't have to shower, and you can watch a little TV in the background while you work.
Of course, there are far more distractions (the aforementioned TV being one of them if there's a particularly enthralling episode of Jerry Springer on), you feel obligated to do stuff other than work, such as laundry or dishes since you're there, and certain projects are more difficult when working remotely.
Generally speaking, I don't really like telecommuting, but it's a necessary evil on occasion. Daytime TV is awful, and it's really annoying to be sitting right next to your home computer which has Roller Coaster Tycoon on it when you have to be typing away on your work computer which has Microsoft Office on it. The roller coasters will have to wait.
