Some days, we long to work from home to be more accessible to our kids, maybe throw in a load of laundry while we’re on a conference call and actually make a homemade dinner - before 7pm at that. Be careful what you wish for, because it just might come true.
This week our town is being hit with a massive snowstorm - even blizzard conditions - and school is canceled for the entire week. Telecommuting is really the only option - you can’t even drive on the snowy, icy roads.
But, this afternoon, I long for the peacefulness of my desk and afternoon snack of wasabi peas stowed away in my drawer; of office Internet connections that enable me to work more quickly; of surroundings that don’t call out to me to cook, clean or make a fourth cup of coffee.
