not really. i guess if i took my work LOs home with me i could, but there really wouldn't be a reason to, unless there was something wrong with their house.

Yep. I do maybe 2-3x a month, or when I'm sick, or when there's a snow storm. Most of my colleagues that I work with on a daily basis are based in other offices (Europe, Asia, Africa, South America), so they don't miss me when I'm not in the office. At my last job I worked from home once a week.

Yes. We actually moved 500 miles away a few months back, and I was able to keep my job by working from home.

When I worked it was possible, even though we were dealing with client sensitive data. You need to have a separate phone line and work space if it was full time, though, and if you had children, you had to prove that they were cared for by someone other than you.

Not even close. Because of Military security and what my actual job is. There is no way.

Yes. I try not to abuse it, but I definitely have the option for snow days, sick days when I can still work but don't want to infect the office, days when you have an appointment in the middle of the day... We have a few people who have moved away and work from home full time now.

I can and do occasionally, I'm a software designer so a lot of my work doesn't matter whether I'm in the office. But it can be easier to get things done and talk to people about stuff by being in the office. It's nice to have the option though.

I can but my boss doesnt seem to approve. He gets distracted working from home and expects I will too.
I reserve it for when Im sick usually, or need to catch up.
Many people in the company do it - some full time. Hoping we can come to an agreement later in pregnancy.

Can and sometimes do, although I get easily distracted at home.

I do sometimes. Pretty much everything I do I use the internet for and can access it at home.

Yes, I can definitely work from home and I"m working from home for the next month and then going forward 2 times a week.

I work from home full time. I deal with confidential personal data all day, but I have a secure phone line and network to protect the information while I work. I love working from home, especially while I'm pregnant. I've been a full time telecommuter for 2 years now.

I haven't really needed to in the past, but it may be a different story once I go on maternity leave.

Yep! Thursdays are my WFH day.... and since BFP I've been working from home on my dr appt days and also any day I haven't felt 100%.

As a social worker, I obviously meet with clients in my office or their homes, but i can bring the extensive paperwork that goes along with my job home and do it after LO goes to sleep (as I should be doing now :). I really appreciate the flexibility and it is so nice to help balance being a FT WOHM and parenting...

If I could find an online teaching job, then yes! And, of course, I do all kinds of grading/research/prep at home.
