Its been almost two years since I traded in my high heels for a nice pair of black fuzzy slippers. I will say that for the most part I enjoy working from home. I don't have to worry about getting up and getting ready in the mornings. If I want to wear my PJ's to work I can or I can just throw on something comfortable. I don't have to really answer to anybody and don't have to worry about any office gossip. The one thing I really do not miss one bit is the Atlanta traffic. Ugh! If you live in Atlanta you know what I'm talking about and god forbid if if rains. With all the positive things there are some negative aspects to working at home. I must say I miss the fast paced corporate environment. I miss the interactions with coworkers and sometimes the friendships that do evolve. I miss carrying on adult conversations, its hard to talk to my dog! Also on occasions I miss dressing up and wearing my beautiful high heels. As much as they would probably hurt my feet now, I do miss how good they look on. Slippers just don't have the same effect! I will say that working at home will have the best benefits when my husband and I decide to start trying to have a baby. I couldn't imagine having morning sickness and trying to get ready for work. I know that it will be a blessing!
Do any of you work from home? How do you like it opposed to working in an office? Would you ever want to go back to not working at home?

Stopping in from SITS. I work from home too. I miss adult interaction as well, but I would never go back to working outside of the home. I treasure the time I've been home with my girls for the past 3 1/2 years as a WAHM and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
ReplyDeleteI would love to work at home! I actually said that in my post after we spent many hours on a country trip.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on Single Mom in the South. I worked at home this past year and LOVE it...I can work and keep up the house at the same time, but it is a little isolating...this single mom seriously lacks for adult conversation! Scarily, this job ends at the end of the month and I don't have something else lined up yet- YIKES! Job interview Friday- say a little prayer!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from SITS! My hubby now works from home. Just started in March. For this week he is training in Morrow and NOT enjoying being behind the wheel again at all1 At least it's a company car, since he has to inspect sites twice a week in the north metro Atlanta counties. School is out and that cuts rush hour by...20 minutes.
ReplyDeleteI travel weekly in Egleston in Dekalb, that's always fun... blah!
