I have lost my office social skills and am less patient, in general.

In my area there are a number of people who work from the home either full time or part time. I can see where it wouldn't work for people who aren't self motivated. There is no pressure at home to work like there is in an office environment. For me, the freedom it affords is wonderful. |

Well I must admit that I am not overly motivated to work, but I am fairly motivated by money and working is the only way I know to get it.

I live in the Washington, DC area and traffic is horrible. Also, there is a shortage of skilled workers. I think it is this combination that makes employers offer telecommuting either full time or part time in order to attract workers. I probably know more telecommuters because many engineers and land developers are self employed working from home. > Well I must admit that I am not overly motivated to work, but I am > fairly motivated by money and working is the only way I know to get > it. Other then marrying it that is. I'm not overly motivated myself but greed and staying out of traffic work for me too. > Please Don't Steal - The Government Hates Competition > > ZombyWoof > (take the dogs when replying via e-mail) |
