    Working from home - BRILLIANT!

    I am now full time working from home... it takes me 23 seconds (literally) from the front door to be sitting in my office... the weather doesn't worry me, no wear and tear on the bike daily and I work the hours that best suit me.

    No need to shave, iron shirts, pay for gas, tires, piss around in traffic... all in all I get back about 75 mins/day! That's a lot of time and I'm loving it.

    ... and anyone with my home address is welcome to pop by for a coffee if/when it suits. Not too long as I still am on the clock, but I can make up the time easy enough.

    Anyone else working from home/have similar experiences?

    Wait till you see the tax breaks. All the parts of the house that can be used for the business are partly deductible.

    yeah it'd be ok it if was my business - it's a home office of someone else's private company. But any suggestions on maximising my tax position are very welcome...

    What if you become a contractor, rather than an employee?

    I worked largely from home for a couple of years. While it was OK when I was programming as the house was nice and quiet, otherwise I hated it.

    It's OK if you are a fairly disciplined sort of person, and have a designated work area, so when you're 'at work' you're in your work area, and can put on your work hat. Otherwise, it's easy to piss around and procrastinate and not do what you should be.

    In theory, I'm supposed to be able to 'telecommute' in my current job, but choose not to. Apart from anything else, I'd miss the two daily rides.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I hear entertainment is a legit expense, but not sure which room in the house you would claim on for that...

    Good on ya. It's not for everybody in the long run though - but it's a good change some times.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    That would be me, I would do everything else bar what I should be doing. There is no way in hell I would be disciplined enough. And I think I need my head read when I say this but....I would miss the people contact and start singing ....... I ronery, so ronery!

    There are always down sides to doing that too - you don't shave, or look after yourself properly..... , cause you don't need to and no one gets to see you sitting there in your p.j's cause you're too lazy to go get dressed.....

    You have no associates to join in for smoko's - no shouts (unless you pay someone on the quiet), imagine your work functions - or lack of it - LOL

    And it would be very lonely working from home. Yip, I love going out to work and have fun with the people I work with. Each to their own. Only advantage to me would be staying by the fire on cold days, or being able to ride on fine days as you are obviously your own boss.
