How Many Working From Home
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

My client has agreed for me to work from home ( I live 300 miles away from their offices). I find myself online, on their systems out of hours keeping an eye on things while listening to Classic FM, and not lying awake having an internal conversation about what I'd tackle tomorrow, once I'd beaten the traffic. I've done more in 2 days than I'd thought would be possible.Comment

For most of the last 6 years I have done every Friday from home and a few mondays also. But not on this bolloxs of a contract. Its probably a good thing today as the room I use would be so hot that I'd be sweating like Rick Waller in an all you can eat cake shop.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Yep, a/c to the max. This year has been exceptionally hot.
Bought two bottles of Pimms just in case. And a few Pink Gins for the ladies.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment
