But 50% of the time it collects dust in my work bag. However, I am always checking work emails and messages while away from teh office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-670707 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 11:29:55 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 670707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work at home a couple times a week. If I get home from the office early I usually work a couple more hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-670544 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:53:13 +0000 Mommy Finger 670544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: I was just going to post the same thing! </p> <p>Yes, every day I get home in time to spend a little time with DS, put him to bed, eat a fast dinner and jump back online for at least 4 hrs. It sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-670501 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:45:16 +0000 lilteacherbee 670501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Being that DH and I are both teachers, we're always at home doing work. He'll have his little area of the couch with papers and I'll have my spot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-670492 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:44:04 +0000 littlebittyhouse 670492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try not to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-670438 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:34:18 +0000 LaurenEC 670438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's pretty much expected that we work whenever. I have had phone calls at 9pm, and on the weekends - sometimes 2x/day. It's good and bad because we have flexible hrs to make this work. </p> <p>I have a 5pm departure that I try to keep and don't log in until after LO goes to bed though. My DH and I are in the same boat (different companies) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-670422 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:28:19 +0000 skibobrown 670422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much every day. I work in my office 9-5, then pick up DD and hang out with her until bedtime. Around 8 or 8:30 I pick up my work again at home, and usually I work until around midnight. I think I work on average 60-80 hours per week, so there's no way I can leave my work at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-670400 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:23:50 +0000 stlginkgo 670400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a teacher I am constantly bringing work home. In fact I am doing work while on maternity leave! :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-670385 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:19:00 +0000 littlek 670385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every.Single.Day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-670327 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 10:02:36 +0000 Alivoo01 670327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only when there's an approaching deadline and I know I won't be able to finish everything during normal work hours prior to then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-670121 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 08:59:58 +0000 avivoca 670121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once every 2-3 months, maybe. It depends on how many edits to the magazine need to be made and how long it took for me to get the individual articles back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-670117 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 08:59:19 +0000 Modern Daisy 670117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer to stay late or come in early since lugging my laptop home is a pain (no car), but I have brought my work home on weekends before. I dont' think this will change much after the baby comes because "late" for me is 5:30, which would still be plenty of time to pick up the babe from daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-670109 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 08:56:34 +0000 swurlygurl 670109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Quite a bit, lately. DH does too, so it's been crazy in the evenings! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-670104 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 08:54:59 +0000 autumnlove 670104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe once a month? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-670101 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 08:54:28 +0000 PurplePumps 670101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way, almost never. That is one of the things I like about my job. You do your time at work, and leave it there. Things are rarely so tight scheduled that it needs to go home with you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-670096 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 08:52:19 +0000 mrsjyw 670096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep.. I work from home two days a week. And depending on client time zones-- I work all sorts of crazy hours. :T usually it's normal US hours though. The last two weeks were brutal~ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-669999 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 08:20:11 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 669999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost every day! But I primarily work from home ... so yeah. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-669989 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 08:17:30 +0000 regberadaisy 669989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try hard not to but I think it's going to inevitable soon. Trying to get LogMeIn set up on my home laptop tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-669987 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 08:17:05 +0000 babycanuck 669987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost every weekend and depending on my week, if I'm travelling a lot, 2-3 evenings as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-669978 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 08:14:27 +0000 mamabolt 669978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I occasionally do an hour or two of work at night if I'm feeling particularly behind, usually the mindless stuff so I can still feel like I'm relaxing a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-669882 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 07:18:39 +0000 illumina 669882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I occasionally bring work home or preferably stay late, though where I used to work we had flexi time so any time extra you work can be taken as holiday at some point in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-669879 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 07:16:15 +0000 pui 669879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sometimes do bring work home at the end of the day if I feel I need to catch up on things. That's why I like having a laptop instead of a desktop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-take-work-home#post-669862 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 07:07:42 +0000 mediagirl 669862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're short handed this week and I didn't get to everything that came at my yesterday so, I ended up working on a couple of items once I got home yesterday. A lot of my job is spent waiting so that sucks up a lot of time even if I'm waiting on 2 or 3 projects on 2 or 3 different computers at once. </p> <p>I absolutely cannot leave work late because it messes up our evening routine and I refuse to mess up M's bedtime. So, I leave at 4 and at 7pm, log into my computer and get an hour or two of work done so I'm not completely crazy the next day. And so my customers don't call screaming, too. :) </p>
