I have the opportunity to work from home. Advise please
I might have the opportunity to work from home with a new company in the same field I currently work in. Although I don't like the current environment I work in at my current job, I'm not sure how I'll enjoy working from home. Those of you who work from home, do you enjoy it better than being stuck in an office all day or do you miss the interaction with other people during the day?
Thanks

Re: I have the opportunity to work from home. Advise please
I'm not a big social butterfly that always needs the office talk/people. I love working at home, because I am free to work in my way---comfortable, messy, and on my time schedule. I like to work at night and have my mornings free to take my daughter to school and gym time Also, no traffic driving is big plus for me!!
I off set feeling distant by going into the office and setting up routine check-in with my boss. It works for me, but I know there is another thought that out of sight= out if mind for promotions, etc. It all depends on what you want the most. For me, keep the visibility, and I can keep my flexibility as a working mom with a Pre-K child!
I asked a very similar question a few years back when we were moving out of state. My company let me become a full-time telecommuter in my current role and I wasn't sure if I would love it or hate it.
Pros: I love the flexibility that comes with working from home. I am still expected to work normal business hours, but even simple things like being able to move clothes from the washer to the dryer during the day seems to free up weekend/night time. My lunch break some days is spent playing with our dog or squeezing in a quick run. Other days it's spent eating at my desk, just like when I was in the office. I save a ton of money and time by not having a commute.
Cons: It can be very lonely. Things are better now, but that was a big adjustment for me (especially since we had just moved to a new state where we had no friends). I think advancement can be limited, but that probably depends on the nature of your work and how the company/management views its remote workforce. I feel like there is a tendency for people at my company to think that working from home is "working" from home. You know, that I sit on the couch with the TV on and periodically glance at my laptop, perhaps while also taking care of my children full time. I actually feel like I have to work harder to disprove that and probably take less breaks than I did in the office. I find myself checking email after hours more than I did when I worked from the office. I know that is a personal choice/problem, but something for you to think about how you would handle.
Overall, I'd say I'm slightly happier working from home, but could see going back to an office for the right opportunity. I think you're smart for thinking it through as I don't think it's the right fit for everyone.
Thank you for the responses and your imput. I'm not much of a social butterfly either and I think I'm at the point that I would love to just be in my own home without all the office politics I deal with everyday. It would be working for a new company but I haven't been with my current one very long so I'm not really giving up any siniority. Not real happy at my current place so I think this could be a good thing for me.
Thanks

I've worked from home before. For the most part I really loved it. I didn't have to deal with traffic, the office politics, and for the most part everything could be on my time. If I was sick I didn't have to worry about how many times I blew my nose, or how loud I was being.
I did miss interacting with co workers face to face. It also took me a while to get over the feeling like I was slacking.
I work from home 1 day/week and I love it..but there is NO way I could do it every day. It's very lonely; end of the work day I just have to get in my car and go somewhere. I'm not a big social butterfly either but I do enjoy interacting with the people that sit around me in the office. I also only have a 5 mile commute and a low-stress job.
Being at home is nice to be able to schedule home maintenance visits (bug man, hvac, etc); get laundry done; hang out with my dog; run during lunch.
Work from home is not for everyone. In my opinion if you want more of social life you and your husband can go out, dress nice, do your hair(whatever needs to be done). I love working wrom home. I overcome similar issues by taking few hours and going social) here is lot of info about your little problem http://workfromhomeis.com/work-from-home-is-it-difficult-or-easy/
On Tuesday, the Internet was abuzz with admirers pointing to Billups? abrasion as addition archetype of the ?Clippers Curse.?
One problem. There is no Clippers Curse.

Danny Manning, the Clippers? top aces in 1988, blew out his knee in his amateur season. The aggregation traded two first-round picks for Tiny Archibald in 1977; one ages into the season, he tore his Achilles? bond and absent the absolute season. Bill Walton had a alternation of bottom injuries during his seasons with the team.
Some alarm that a curse, but added teams alarm it a day in the activity of an NBA team.

cott and Magic Johnson both adversity broken hamstrings during the 1989 NBA Finals, with Scott affliction his afore Bold 1 and Johnson during Bold 2. The Lakers were swept in that series. Cheap Jordan Shoes Or Magic backward afterwards testing absolute for HIV. Does anyone say the Lakers are cursed? No, because the Lakers admiral accept a history of authoritative astute abstract picks and trades, abrogation the aggregation in position to balance bound from setbacks.
Look at the Clippers? abstract history: In 1981, they drafted Tom Chambers, who went on to accept a solid career ? with Seattle and Phoenix. Afterwards he averaged 17.4 credibility for the Clippers, they traded him to the SuperSonics for James Donaldson, Greg Kelser and Mark Radford. To be fair, the Clippers did abstract a approaching Hall of Famer in 1981: Tony Gwynn, who is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1983, the Clippers called Byron Scott, again traded him to the Lakers. In 1984, they called Lancaster Gordon with the eighth all-embracing aces of the draft. Lancaster Gordon? Nike jordans shoes sales Meanwhile, eight picks later, the Utah Jazz called John Stockton. In 1985, with the third aces in the abstract and with Chris Mullin, Detlef Schrempf, Charles Oakley, Karl Malone and Joe Dumars all available, the Clippers selected, delay for it, Benoit Benjamin. (By the way, that year the Lakers called A.C. Green with the 23rd pick.)
We could play the ?name the bad abstract pick? bold all day. In 1987, the Clippers had three first-round picks. They went with Reggie Williams, Joe Wolf and Ken Norman. Remember Danny Ferry? Bo Kimble? LeRon Ellis? Randy Woods? Terry Dehere? Lamond Murray? Michael Olowokandi?
So, no, there is no Clippers Curse. There was just a alternation of abhorrent amateur cadre decisions fabricated by the team.Which seems to accept afflicted this division beneath new General Manager Neil Olshey. Who is apparently busily aggravating to ample the aperture Billups? abrasion leaves.
