I can't really, since my job definitely requires that I be on-site.
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.
do you do work at home?
-
yep, i am right now!
i work from home thurs/fris and any other day that is an emergency. my job is very flexible that way!
i'm a project manager/consultant, so as long as i have a phone and my laptop/internet -- i can do work!
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.
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!
-
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.
I could, but I already work in a remote location 3 days a week and I try not to abuse it.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I'm working from home right now because i have to take LO to get her shots later this afternoon.
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).
-
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.
-
Hell to the nah! I literally purge the entire day from my brain as I drive home.
-
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.
-
Yep. I'm in sales, so majority of the day is at home, but then it's my clients offices or driving to them.
I go into our office about 70km away just on Friday mornings.
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.
If I get a call/email on evenings weekends I almost always answer.. could be a sale and I gotta get paid!
-
I hate working from home because I can't focus on work when my house is all around me with things to do! laundry! cleaning! cooking! organization! gahhh. But every now and then I'll do a few hours from home.
-
No, never!
-
Yep! Lesson planning, grading papers, etc.
-
@Mrs. Champagne: what type of sales? I worked in retail before and realized I would not like working in sales!
-
@Mrs. Pen: advertising. i sell radio ads! literally selling air to people
-
I'm a teacher... So yes.
-
@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.
-
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.
-
I work from home 3 days a week. once i'm done working, I don't even think about turning my computer back on!
-
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.
-
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!
-
I work from home since my company doesn't have offices in every state. 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

I was a full time WAHM for a few years!
