Monk Posted 30 April 2009 Posted 30 April 2009 So today I have the privelage of working from home as I'm going to the doctor at 11. Somehow persuaded the boss that I could be more productive this way. Time: 10am Work produced: Zero Games of Fifa played: 3 Anyone else do this?

If i could somehow convince my boss to divert my work phone to my home phone i would do this everyday, but no luck so far
Monk Posted 30 April 2009 Author Posted 30 April 2009 If you can get him to try it once, be super productive and the next time you will get it easier.
Katy Posted 30 April 2009 Posted 30 April 2009 I'm feeling your pain mate, after writing nigh on 1000 words yesterday the urge to write another 1000 and finish today is not appealing to me right now.
Alexikokopops Posted 30 April 2009 Posted 30 April 2009 All programmes we use at work are available to use from home except for the one I need to use all the time

Wycombe Fox Posted 30 April 2009 Posted 30 April 2009 I've been working from home for 18 years. From a motivational point of view it's easier in the winter. Come the summer and all I want to do is head for the beach on the sunny days. If I stand on my desk I can see the sea all lovely and blue and calling "Isle of Wight Fox, Isle of Wight Fox - you know you wanna!" Working from home is a very lonely existance. I usually have a dvd or something on in the corner of my monitor but never actually watch it - it just gives you the impression that you're not alone. Wouldn't change it for the world though. Nobody peering over my shoulder wondering what I'm doing and a bit of flexibilty to go to the beach if I want.
Tilley Posted 30 April 2009 Posted 30 April 2009 Don't even get me started on this. FIFA, Tv, Music, MSN... anything but work.

Would have asked you at Southend if we didn't have to make such a swift exit.

Sir Fynwy Posted 30 April 2009 Posted 30 April 2009 I find working from home totally unproductive, too many other things to do, however I've just found out our site will have no power all day on 19th May so I'll be not working from home then.

charliefox Posted 30 April 2009 Posted 30 April 2009 Being at work is also very unproductive. 5 hours so far today. Work done = zilch.
purpleronnie Posted 30 April 2009 Posted 30 April 2009 I worked from home for about a year I didnt like it I prefer having a laugh with work mates.
Wycombe Fox Posted 30 April 2009 Posted 30 April 2009 Nice, what do you do? Would have asked you at Southend if we didn't have to make such a swift exit. Quantity Surveyor and Estimator. You?
Monk Posted 30 April 2009 Author Posted 30 April 2009 How do you balance that with also being Moby? I work for a Belgian Investment house in the city. It's pants.

Living the life of a jetsetting, super rich music-maker isn't all it's cracked up to be. All that money, all those pretty girls! Fancied a change so it's a life of counting bricks for me! Keeps me grounded. The added advantage is that by working from home I can fart in the shower whenever I want (as long as I'm in the shower of course).

I always thought he was bent as a nine bob note
Wycombe Fox Posted 30 April 2009 Posted 30 April 2009 Does Moby like girls? I always thought he was bent as a nine bob note I think he's officially bisexual.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 30 April 2009 Posted 30 April 2009 I've worked from home twice recently, and the first time I got literally about two week's worth of work done in a day. I think this is because I was able to concentrate on my work without being interrupted every 5 minutes by someone that needs to know how to forward an email or work the photocopier. The second time I did next to bugger all. I think it was because it was a Friday, and subconsciously I thought I could catch up over the weekend, which was completely stupid as I ended up working on Saturday night
