Why I like working from home

Dear Diary. Working from home is an improvement over working in an office. Don't think it's heaven or anything. I still work 8 - 15 hours a day, don't do other stuff while I work, talk to people a lot, get pestered and interrupted thanks to the miracle of online chat, etc. It's just that my cube is in my house, not in an office 40 min away with everybody else. I did move out of the basement to a second floor bedroom because the basement is cold and my hands were always freezing. Now my second floor is cold and my hands are freezing. Must be getting old....

Here is the thing that is better at home (besides the obvious part where, of course, I work naked...hey, wonder if this is why I'm always cold), it reduces my contact with the inevitable annoying office people. Like the strange woman with such a thick accent that she was usually incomprehensible who would always follow me around asking the same question over and over, even into the women's room and bother me while I was peeing. Yup, don't miss that. And the gal who listened to talk radio too loud in her cube, and the guy in the next cube over who thought a bottle of cologne was single serving size, and the guy who thought I was his secretary and would send things to me to print out and copy. And the person who constantly complains about everything and how she is always the victim (she does this in chat too, but it's easier to ignore). These things don't happen in my house. It is so great. There is one thing that does happen here, Scruffy helps me work. I should put her on the payroll.
