Personally I detest working from home, probably because I haven't got any dedicated office spaceCoffee's for closers -
Got a bay window and table dedicated to such use, over looking the plebs running backwards and forth at 5pm. I miss the 9am folks because I'm still asleep.Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostPersonally I detest working from home, probably because I haven't got any dedicated office space"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

I've got the spare room setup as an office, which is okay, but I could really do with a decent desk.Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostPersonally I detest working from home, probably because I haven't got any dedicated office space
I do find it's a little depressing sitting by yourself all day. To be honest I could do much more at home, but choose to go on site because I prefer to be around people, even if they are permies.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

That's what the pub's for! Early doors at 5pm, nice and buzzy. Yes I agree, when working from home you do have to see some real people each day to avoid going barking mad.Originally posted by VectraMan View PostI prefer to be around peopleComment

my hours are totally consistant. They all last exactly sixty minutes, which is a hangover from the Assyrians, or the Perians or someone.
The minutes are all the same as well

I work from home so usually work long hours and weekends, evenings are busy as that's when the yanks come online (I work for a US based company).
The upside is a fair proportion of the long hours worked are spent on Plan B which is working out nicely. Working for a music software company is hardly working and more like fun.Comment

Do you get to work from home at all
Don't take much in breaks (don't actually do much work either but that's another story)If you find this post offensive, please insert "Chan" before and "tho" after, then it should be OK.
