So yep, I guess I do! It's nice because if I have a work issue I can easily "stay late"- start dinner or take out the pugs then go right back to my desk. I do ALWAYS leave my work phone in my office, I don't go in there off-hours unless I realize I forgot something or I'm working on an issue. I'm salaried so going above and beyond if I have to is part of my job! But usually it's 8-5 for me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-work-at-home#post-854542 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:28:33 +0000 yoursilverlining 854542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work from home full time now as a consultant. Really, I work at home some days, coffee shops other days. I can work anywhere that I can get internet access! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-work-at-home#post-854535 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:26:19 +0000 ShootingStar 854535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can work from home occasionally, but I don't do it regularly. I really like having the flexibility that if something comes up, I can stay home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-work-at-home#post-854529 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:24:47 +0000 GrapeCrush 854529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work from home 3 days a week. once i'm done working, I don't even think about turning my computer back on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-work-at-home#post-854508 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:21:21 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 854508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work at home 3x a week, but my office is only 10-minutes away. The WAH days much less stressful because not showering and getting ready in the morning makes such a huge difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-work-at-home#post-854502 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:20:15 +0000 cascademom 854502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I suffer from the same problem. If I'm home, I want to clean and organize. I space out my cleaning, etc. throughout the day. I had a headache yesterday while working from home, so I wasn't able to make a Target trip. I don't think that our condo would be remotely clean if it wasn't for that one day a week where I can at least attempt it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-work-at-home#post-854501 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:19:53 +0000 lilteacherbee 854501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a teacher...

But every now and then I'll do a few hours from home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-work-at-home#post-854476 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:13:28 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 854476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I'm in sales, so majority of the day is at home, but then it's my clients offices or driving to them.</p> <p>I go into our office about 70km away just on Friday mornings.</p> <p>ETA: my hours are 830am-5pm, but I usually am done work before that and don't start util about 9am since none of my clients are even open until 10am.</p> <p>If I get a call/email on evenings weekends I almost always answer.. could be a sale and I gotta get paid! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-work-at-home#post-854443 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 11:03:54 +0000 Cherrybee 854443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work from home a couple of times a week. You can tell when I'm working from home because I'm on here all day. Oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-work-at-home#post-854415 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 10:58:50 +0000 BananaPancakes 854415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hell to the nah! I literally purge the entire day from my brain as I drive home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-work-at-home#post-854406 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 10:58:06 +0000 cascademom 854406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, it's one day a week. It's the day that I usually do laundry and some house cleaning. I'm hoping to bump it up to 2 or even 3 if necessary. It's hard to plan for that many days home because I have to balance my DH's work from home days as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-work-at-home#post-854402 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 10:56:49 +0000 Freckles 854402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm working from home right now because i have to take LO to get her shots later this afternoon. </p> <p>I'll be flying back home this summer and can extend my visit by a week without taking extra vacation days because i can work from my laptop (i have a phone built in to my laptop). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-work-at-home#post-854388 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 10:53:51 +0000 Adira 854388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! Except sometimes to check e-mails if I REALLY need to. But that's pretty much the only work-related thing I can do at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-work-at-home#post-854383 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 10:53:14 +0000 regberadaisy 854383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's on the computer I remote into my work desktop via Log Me In. But if I have to put in extra or make up hours I prefer to bring home drawings / trace. Something that doesn't require me to be on the computer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-work-at-home#post-854374 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 10:52:15 +0000 looch 854374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha, i was just getting my citrix token tested in case I have to work from home on Monday. It allows me access to my full desktop at the office.</p> <p>I could, but I already work in a remote location 3 days a week and I try not to abuse it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-work-at-home#post-854372 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 10:51:54 +0000 mrsjyw 854372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, i am right now!</p> <p>i work from home thurs/fris and any other day that is an emergency. my job is very flexible that way! :) </p> <p>i'm a project manager/consultant, so as long as i have a phone and my laptop/internet -- i can do work!</p> <p>edit:// those are strictly between the hours of 9-5. m-w when im in the office i leave my laptop at work, so that i dont bring it home with me. on th/fr my hours may vary a lil bit but that's because i pick and choose what time of day or around errands that i work. </p> <p>the ONLY times i work at home outside of normal hours is if and when i'm on a huge global project and have to cater to apac/emea time zones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-work-at-home#post-854369 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 10:50:45 +0000 Mrs. Pen 854369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't really, since my job definitely requires that I be on-site.</p> <p>I usually try not to check my work email at home either, but sometimes I do if I need to touch base with my supervisor on something.</p> <p>do you do work at home? </p>
