While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.' -

Having worked in a heavily off-shored environment for quite a while - rather than some Dodgy Agent ivory tower - it's quite clear that for some types of work, it's far be able to have personal contact. Telephone, video-conferencing etc. are not a substitute for sitting down with someone to discuss an issue. Far less productive.
I have an office at home. I work remotely for one client, almost exclusively, and for another couple, I can work at home if necessary - but it's better for me to be in the office most of the time.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

I've got this dull task of documenting a spreadsheet and I reckon I could get through it miles quicker if I could work from home avoiding distractions. I'm pssssd off that the client says I can't take the spreadsheet home for daft security reasons and then has the cheek to say "I can try and find you a quieter spot in the office and give you a laptop, but we'd all like to do that and dealing with distractions is what it's like working in an office".....Durggh! I know, that's my point!, I want to make use of this "office" of mine that's free from distraction for a task that requires no tools other than MS Office and it doesn't require talking to others.Comment
