Re: Am I the only one who loves it?
Daughter works for NHS and is often out and about working in schools and early learning centres. She can come home to do her admin, write reports etc., which means not having to waste time driving back to a crowded office ( not enough space if they're all in) or battle the rush hour traffic at end of day, which takes three times as long and uses much more fuel.
She gets to sit in comfort, listen to music if she wants, receive deliveries even. It's just a win for all.
That being said, I could also have worked from home, when I was working in an education department. But the managers wouldn't allow it, because they didn't trust us to do our work. Highly skilled and motivated professionals, but they couldn't trust us. As if we could magically have failed to write our assessment reports and do our admin without it being noticed instantly*. F'ing idiots!
*Or at least, no more likely than as we could have while being in the office pretending to work!
