For 15 years I worked from home. This began when we moved to Abiquiu. Carol kept her Chicago job also. It was great.
Nowadays, working from home is in the news like it never happened before. We started in 1999, and it was on dial-up. It was sometimes miserably slow, but I was a text based programmer, so it worked OK. When there was a change to a GUI, Graphical User Interface, then it became a problem. It flat out did not work. That was the middle of 2006 and I was worried. That project fell through though and I was spared, plus, in January 2007, Abiquiu got DSL. I found this fun article on the DO’s and DON’Ts of working from home and I thought it was timely. I don’t agree with everything. I did get dressed to go to work. It was part of the discipline of taking the work seriously. On the other hand, my desk is a MESS, and we never did video calls. Not once. If you are working from home or you have a kid schooling from home, then this may be a useful READ. Comments are closed.
