Home based

This week I’ve been lucky enough to be working from home. It’s one of the cool things about working with web-based companies – you don’t actually need to be in the office, so long as you have the necessary gubbins at home. As for the “lucky enough to be working” bit, well, the company decided that they would acknowledge the people who worked between Christmas and New Year (as it was more of a voluntary thing – we don’t have to work, it’s our choice) by paying us extra for the days we work. Sounds good to me.

So yeah, I could’ve taken the time completely off, but well, I’ve got a fair amount to be getting on with, so it makes sense to do it and get paid extra rather than busting a gut on Jan 2.

Anyway, I digress. While working at home I’ve actually been a lot more productive than I am at work. I managed to sort out the entire company website yesterday, for example – from scratch to completed in less than a day.

I think I’m going to try and organise it with work that I can work from home one day a week in 2006. It makes a lot of sense in general, especially if my productivity continues to be so significantly improved…
