I hope he wasn’t too mad at them. Working from home has its drawbacks.
I’ve had only office jobs for about the last 28 years. Two years ago, they asked me to work form home and on the road.
I don’t think I can go back. No politics, no hassles, no worrying about what the other guys is saying behind your back, I start when I want, quit early if I want. Run errands if I need to.
I’m on jobsites or meeting with contractors. Dusty jeans are usually perfect, sometimes I’m overdressed.
My boss wanted me to build a demo unit for a trade show. Yesterday was perfect, I spent the day building stuff and getting paid for it.
On the flip side, my home office is in the basement, it’s kind of cold, but works OK.
I keep the door closed because the washer and furnace are nearby and noisy. Our only kid left at home is 17 and he doesn’t know how to knock either, but he never does a gorilla dance on the way in.
I just remembered, a few years ago, I did a couple radio interviews from home for my company (home improvement shows) I made sure everyone knew I was doing it and to be quiet for a little while. They went fine.
He started laughing.
I think it is adorable.
