So the CW (no thats not me, I wouldn't be caught dead with a mustache, and my hair is much better looking, the rest is pretty accurate though) decided to take his talents home today around lunch time and work the rest of the day from the couch. Being that I've never done this before (seems impossible but I was always too lazy to get the access set up, which when I explain it that way doesn't seem so impossible), I had no idea what to expect. Early review? AWESOME.
I have two laptops going, sportscenter on a 50 inch HiDef TV, and all the Turkey Day leftovers you can imagine for lunch. Hard as it is to believe I think I actually did more real work today than I did all of last week. I sort of felt motivated to prove that I could (that and I love technology, so the idea of trying out all the work related functions that I usually ignore really appealed to me). I'm sure that feeling would eventually go away.
I can definitely understand why people that work at home set up offices with desks and shit. I've almost taken a nap 3 times in the last two hours. With Sportscenter on and my laptop open it feels distinctly like a Sunday watching football over here (except work e-mail subbed for my fantasy football page). I think I'd need a pet if I did this full time too. Its driving me crazy not being able to talk to anyone. I could easily become a crazy cat-person if I worked from home. I haven't spoken in 3 hours. I've gone to speak several times but realized it would be pointless. Its at the point now where I'm holding back from talking to myself just to see how long I can go without hearing my own voice.
Has anyone else worked at home before? Any advice on working through the boredom?
