RE: It takes skills to work from home (personal experience)

in #work8 years ago

I used to rent a beautiful cottage in the country, and I worked from home. It was bliss. I loved my work. I had the same "uniform" as the one in your cartoon, and my "co-workers" were dogs, birds and wild animals.
But I disciplined myself to always start work at 9.30am and I took a proper break for lunch. I did worry that my social skills might fade away, but they didn't, and eventually I managed to get a "proper job" (big mistake, but that's another story!)

Looks like you find the perfect way to balance your work, with nature and I am glad that you managed to have discipline, I am still struggling with that :)
If you were happy with this arrangement it is pity that you got "proper job" :)

Yes - I thought I was lucky getting a full-time job at the time, but it ended up with me being bullied and exploited. I'd have been better off staying freelance.
