Sure, some work gets done, but most of it revolves around me and not my employer (don't tell them I said so!). Aside from the work, though, I tend to find every little thing that can sidetrack me, somewhat like a ferret and how it reacts to every shiny bobble that comes into view: "Oh, look, what's that over there?"jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14442776138172728872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-40350602776335479402008-10-13T10:47:00.000-04:002008-10-13T10:47:00.000-04:00Dear Mary,Work at home is the best.Cute, cute toes...Dear Mary,<BR/>Work at home is the best.<BR/>Cute, cute toes...Nice Mockingbird pictures.<BR/>So glad to see birds at your house.<BR/>Are the feeders back up?<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-83728366667504194902008-10-13T03:56:00.000-04:002008-10-13T03:56:00.000-04:00Glad you got to work from home!

I have the exact opposite problem -- I often wished I could live at the office - especially when I am working in some delightful tropical destination in the middle of winter. <BR/><BR/>Right now the view from the office window is a gorgeous swath of Aegean Sea with the ancient isle of Corfu off in the distance and a gaggle of old Albanians seated around me having their morning coffee, clutched to their hand carved walking sticks talking in passionate debate.

I can see where that is beneficial in many ways.<BR/><BR/>The state is talking about a furlough which could make certain positions within the department take "six" days. They are also talking about us not getting our annual increments. Over the years they have taken away many things. <BR/><BR/>I will deal with it as I need my job and am happy at this point in time to have one. <BR/><BR/>Your pics are great!

I have decided to cut my hours back to be at work only during three hours of quiet time (to get work done) and three hours of noisy time, to make sure children are okay. And to get a ton of stuff done at home that I haven't been able to do in years. And to get quality time at the gym.NatureWomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272529400065960820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-65899049211397350712008-10-11T08:51:00.000-04:002008-10-11T08:51:00.000-04:00Wish I could work from home, but that would mean m...Wish I could work from home, but that would mean my patients coming here to me... naw... wouldn't work.

Some helpful hints: I turn on email and set it to hide then it beeps me every time a new email comes in. Download Skype it is free and you can talk to the office if they download it also through your computer. No holding up phones. We even have conference calls. And if you have video on your computer you can see each other. Best of all you get to run outside and take photos.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00021360855817039262noreply@blogger.com
