Today I worked from home. I don’t do this very often (once every 3-4 months or so), but occasionally spending a day in my home office instead of my city office is a nice way to shake up routines, give myself a break from monotony, and feel ‘indulgent’ in not having to bother with a downtown commute. That, and I get an extra half hour of sleep. 😉
I was active on the computer for literally eight hours today, completely uninterrupted. The experience was simultaneously joyfully productive yet also slightly unpleasant. I ended the day with a flat rear end (from sitting all day) and dry red eyes (from staring all day); but I also felt accomplished and tranquil – and I got to spend the day in a t-shirt and polka dot socks, enjoying a fresh breeze tickling my nose through the open windows of the house. Aaahhhh…
Not a bad deal. For all the jobs I could occupy, I’m damn lucky to have the one that I do.
(The polka dot socks. Sexy, non?) *wink*

Some corporate cultures are more amenable to it than others. A few companies in the city I live in a SIGNIFICANT work-from-home/work-remotely advocates. I’m lucky in that my work team and my supervisor are strong supporters of work-from-home. It certainly isn’t for everyone (I’ve found it requires a LOT of discipline), but for folks who can do it (i.e., have both the right logistics and the right mindset in place) it really is pretty amazing.

The sexy socks deserve a day’s outing —
wear ’em to the office tomorrow! Or a sexy sister pair –
That should give a smile (not a laugh, a smile of delight) to everyone —

I love your thoughtful distinction between people laughing at me, and smiling with me. 🙂
I have MANY pairs of ‘sexy’ (read: crazy-but-warm) socks that I wear out frequently. They add a small bit of delight to my day. 😉
