I love working at home

I just love having my own business and working from home. I love getting out of bed, getting my breakfast, and heading to my computer - to ‘work’. What a long commute, eh? There is so much crud that I get to avoid on a daily basis - stuff that happens in the most peaceful and mundane of offices. You know what I mean, stuff like the office politics that goes on. So many times, I’ve started a new job and thought, ‘Oh, this place is cool, they don’t do that ridiculous stuff’. But sooner or later, the truth comes out….and it’s just like every other office. Another hard part of office life is gathering around conference tables, worrying that you’re going to be put on the spot, or knowing that you are going to be, and worrying that your material is not quite ready. Office life sounds like one stress after another! I did actually just have a telephone conference call, and I was a bit nervous, being at home - the kids, the dog, the doorbell… But you know what? At the very beginning of the session, the leader told us all not to worry if the kids make a little noise in the background, ‘we are, after all, all mothers’, she said. She just taught us how to mute our end of the conference call if the kids get out of hand, like if they start throwing a fit, or if the baby won’t stop crying, or whatever. Can you imagine an office boardroom conference starting like that?
