My boss offered yesterday that if I wanted to start working from home full time that I could. I would get an office space set up and installed, complete with a work phone. Right now when I work from home, I just use my laptop with a wireless connection and sit at the dining room table. Not exactly ergonomically healthy.
So the pros and cons list is running through my head. Here is what I have so far:
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| No commute | No daily exercise from walking |
| Can walk Liam to school every day | |
| Don't have to talk to people at the office | No one to talk to |
| Can wear track pants | |
| Don't have to make a lunch ahead of time | Easy access to food |
| Can putter around the house will reports run | Need to stay motivated and actually do "work" |
| System is slower from home | |
| Increased cost for heating the house during the day | |
| Can listen to loud music while I work |
So folks... Weigh in and give me your thoughts! I have a poll up on the side that you can vote on.

I've been a "work from home" employee for well over a decade now. You do need to stay motivated and sometimes I do miss being around my co-workers. But mostly I appreciate the flexibility I have (like being able to run up and meet Henry for lunch every Friday). It's important for me to have a designated work place and just as challenging as staying focused on work, is the need to walk away from it at the end of the "work day".
I say work from home! I think you can make it work and be very productive! Keep us posted! Good luck, hon.

What about doing both?
Maybe 3 days at home, 2 days at the office? Or something like that?
