Work at home jobs that have had me. April 27, 2013 |
Subscribers NewsletterWork At Home Jobs that have had me.Vic Biorseth, Saturday, April 27, 2013 Yep; I got caught up in all the hoopla of "work from home", and "earn money from your kitchen table", and "work wherever you can take your laptop" and all that, back when it was a really hot topic. It was quite a temptation to get away from long commutes, long hours in a cubicle, and essentially, not being your own boss. All the ads looked so promising; people were making thousands, thousands a month, working in their living room, or home office, or out on the deck, or in the kitchen or dining room. Without suiting-up; not even "business casual." If all these other people were doing it, why not us? We already had a home office. I was on call at all hours of day and night when I wasn't at work. Any time my beeper went off, I was subject to rush to the home office from wherever I was, log on using the company laptop, and fix something. (I carried the company computer back and forth between work and home.) And, there were rare occasions when there was a doctor, dental or other appointment, when I actually worked from home for the major part of the day; but working from home was never a regular thing.
