I like working from my couch in comfy clothes, but I wish I had a job where I could just leave work at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-woh-do-you-bring-work-home/page/2#post-1071010 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:50:31 +0000 dolphin 1071010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prior to being a mom, yes.

In previous years I probably worked 30 hours/wk at home. This year I'm going (to try) to bring as little work home as possible. HA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-woh-do-you-bring-work-home#post-1070982 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:21:52 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1070982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do way more than I'd like to. The upside is now that I'm part-time, I'm paid by the hour and can work at home so long as I get my contact hours I with my students (I'm a speech therapist). Getting paid makes it so much easier. I hated bringing my work home with me when I worked full time for a school district but doing paperwork on my own time was the only way I ever got it done since I was so impacted with students. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-woh-do-you-bring-work-home#post-1070883 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 16:33:25 +0000 MrsH 1070883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Especially on weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-woh-do-you-bring-work-home#post-1070842 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 16:13:51 +0000 gilmoregirl 1070842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Echoing the rest of the teachers.

I have a brother with special needs and he never would have made it without his awesome teachers! I hope your school year continues to go well! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-woh-do-you-bring-work-home#post-1069533 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 07:21:10 +0000 MapleMoose 1069533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes, but I also work-from-home on other days too. My schedule is very flexible so I can work at work or at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-woh-do-you-bring-work-home#post-1069476 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 06:49:55 +0000 Adira 1069476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a software engineer and I NEVER work from home! The only thing I MIGHT do is check my e-mail, but that's only if I'm out for the day (like sick) or gone for an extended period of time (I checked my e-mail once a week while on maternity leave). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-woh-do-you-bring-work-home#post-1069473 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 06:47:09 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1069473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless its email or work I can do from my cell phone then no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-woh-do-you-bring-work-home#post-1069465 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 06:38:54 +0000 looch 1069465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could, I certainly have things to do, but I chose not to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-woh-do-you-bring-work-home#post-1069464 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 06:37:55 +0000 Ra 1069464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: It's a learning curve but it's going well! I am in an alternative public school setting so all of my nuggets are ED, have mood disorders, anger issues, etc. They are far needier (and more frustrating!) than the students I'm used to through student teaching in comprehensive schools. I do like it though. I'm exhausted by the time I leave, and I do more management than actual teaching, but I'm slowly learning what makes each kid tick. It's going to be an interesting year for sure!</p> <p>Thanks for asking! I hope your year is going well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-woh-do-you-bring-work-home#post-1068558 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:38:33 +0000 jhd 1068558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: how is it going so far? i know this is your first year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-woh-do-you-bring-work-home#post-1068549 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:37:22 +0000 jhd 1068549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most days and most weekends!
