WAH!!
Yayyy! Today I get to work at home (WAH is our office acronym for this). It's been a really hectic week with people throwing big and little assignments at me...seems like every 5 minutes. ACK! I've been running around this whole week like a chicken with my head cut off. Don't get me wrong...it's GOOD to be busy. Makes me know my job is secure! But it's also been hard to get things done for this one big project I'm working on--the new Quicken Loans career website. I've been so busy that I haven't been able to touch it at all this week. Melissa, the person who's basically running this project, got married last week and is away on her honeymoon. I hope she's having a lot of fun, but I also can't wait till she gets back!
Anyway, I asked to work at home today so that I could focus solely on this project. It felt good to get a bit more sleep this morning since I didn't have to take a shower, put on makeup and get dressed (usually takes me 45 minutes), then spend another half-hour driving to work. Got up today about 8:45, 15 minutes before I'd normally arrive at work. Took about 15 minutes to wash my face, brush my teeth and throw on some clothes and BAM! I got right to work. It's noon now, but I had a snack earlier since I got hungry too early for lunchtime. So I'll hold off on eating lunch for a bit.
I'm actually getting quite a bit done. It's nice to be this productive for one day on one particular project without getting sidetracked with other assignments! I'd like to do this more often, I just have to get my laptop set up with VPN--that will allow me to be able to access all the programs on my computer at work which I can't do right now. Once that happens, I think it'll be even easier to WAH. Ok, time to get back to work...I mean, home...I mean, well, you know what I mean! ;-P
Ooo! It's a warm and beautiful day...perhaps I'll sit out on the deck with my laptop for a while!

Yep, I highly recommend the work-at-home lifestyle! Too bad I don't get a paycheck with mine! I get lots of hugs, though (usually with peanut-butter-smeared tiny fingers!)

I can't do it all the time, just once in a while, but I say do it if you can!!

OMG!!!! I'm jealous!!! Something I have been dreaming of doing. My job may will allow me to stay at home since I handle alot of wires-nothing is physical between my desk and bank-so there is a chance for that to happen in about a year from now.... I'm excited!!
