Working from home is driving me mental

[DieScum]

I think I am starting to hate working from home.

I am becoming some kind of anti-social, sub-human ape creature.

I went out for lunch today, just to get out. I sat on my own in a a nice pub surrounded by groups of bright eyed office workers resplendent in fashionable business attire. All happily chatting and laughing.

That used to be me a while ago.

I suppose I'm saying I miss the social side of office life.

Thing is I'm sitting there unshaven for five days possibly, possibly looking like a tramp, and I can be pretty sure I earn more than any of these lot.

Anyone had cabin fever working from home?

I'm half way considering a paycut just to get some normality back.

Could you not hire a cheap small office for a couple days a week somewhere near other companies/humans

Could you not find a park bench and bring a bottle along, sounds like you'd fit right in.

i know the feeling, did that for a month or so on my last contract, in the end i ended up going to the office once or twice a week, just to speak to people face to face.

I'll be your friend

where do you live ?

[cojak]

Facebook - that's what keeps me sane...

and maybe get a webcam...

..and Windows/Google Messenger.

any interaction is ok - it doesn't need to be face-to-face...

just use one of the private online chat rooms, I have a good chat
with a bird from Norway the other day, she even ended up taking her
clothes off for me .

[DieScum]

Yeah, I'll try and arrange an informal office day once a week.

I think I just have to get a grip on stuff and make sure I'm getting out before work, after work and at lunch... but so easy to slip in to a rut.

Thing is does for your confidence and sociability a bit. In the past I was always out taking clients to dinner, dating the office babes (ok well one! but she was really fit), going along to the bowling social event or whatever...

... and then suddenly *boom* that is gone.

I suppose I just need to find other stuff myself rather than rely on work providing it... but it's not like I'm retired. I do still work a full time job.
