Message for HAB - It's now Thursday
Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away. -
Aye. I had something in my outlook calendar that made me check.
I think what happened yesterday is that there was nothing in my diary to sync me up. I am all alone here, working from home, and with only the odd contact with clients; one day merges with the rest. It is not healthy. Let this be a warning to anyone that thinks working from home would be nice - it drives you mental.
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

That is another problem - the work day goes from getting up to going to bed. Ones household duties get mixed in too, so the efficiency goes down and I don't think I actually get any more done at all.Originally posted by alreadypacked View PostI am currently working from home, my problem is I don't seam to switch off at night or the weekend.

How long does it take - I think I am predisposed to being mental anyway.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Do you take any long breaks? I am hoping to take 6 months off from Oct to March. I just hope my current contract lasts until Oct.Originally posted by HairyArsedBloke View PostThat is another problem - the work day goes from getting up to going to bed.

Too right. Do you ever slide out of bed straight into the office to "check some emails" and find it's suddenly 2pm and you think I really should get a shower and some breakfast?Originally posted by HairyArsedBloke View PostAye. I had something in my outlook calendar that made me check.

Working from home takes some getting used to. If doing something boring it can be very easy to find a reason to make yet another cuppa.
Working from home recently I realised something wasn't quite right when I would hear the postmans steps in the morning and I would run up to the letterbox, kneel down on my knees with the letterbox open looking out waiting for the mail to be posted. Luckily the postman knows me (kind of) and hopefully doesn't think I'm a complete loon. But he was quite surprised when he opened the out letterbox and heard a loud "moooorrniing".
I now work more from office!Comment
