Work from Home / Work at Office

[Zzzptm]

We've seen some big changes in how we work over the last 2 years. Myself, I was already working from home back in 2016, and I prefer it to going into an office. That being said, I enjoy having business travel about once per month for a week where I go into a customer's office as an alternative to going into my company's offices. If there's zero travel, though, I'd still much prefer working from home.

Interestingly, I've had far fewer sick days when I work from home. Could be a number of factors - less exposure to dodgy restaurants, more fruit and veg in my diet at home, less stress from commuting, being more comfortable in doing work even when I feel a bit under the weather when I can work at home...

What are your thoughts on the pros and cons of working from home?

Well if I could I'd only work from home. Would limit my contact to people nicely.

I did work from home for several years with my own computer business but that didn't work out in the end as people got more savy with computers and their prices they just bought them straight from big dealers so I went pretty much out of business.

But I enjoyed that...

But luckily I get to pretty much work alone now as well...and a 6 mile commute isn't too bad either and doing it at night with zero traffic (not that there'd be much of it anyways here in the country side ) isn't too bad either.

Dream scenario ofcourse would be to work from home and get paid a gazillion a month....

^ I think that's Richard Branson's job description.


I'm getting ready, though, to hit the road again for business travel and, pandemic aside, it's something I look forward to. Usually, I have a hotel that's in walking distance of the customer site, so I have 5-15 minutes for the commute, but it's on foot, in the city, which I love doing.
