Actually, I find that work overrides poi most of the time.

I work from home and I am self employed. Slacking off work means I get less money and my clients don't want to come back so I get lass money in the long term. When you're not working for 'the man' you get all the pressure and end up working all the time.

Working for the man from home is another matter I guess...

There's too many home fires burning and not enough trees

I love working at home, keeping my own schedule, any and all hours... The only trouble with it is that I miss the social structure of an external workplace. When my friends come visit, I just stop working. In a work environment you can be with other people, and still working.

So I talk to my cats a lot, and that is alright. And I have a job that gets me out working in the community at least once a week. It helps.

But there is a lot of discipline involved in getting things done when you are your own boss and essentially responsible for everything.

The biggest advantage has been my beautiful mornings, I dont rush anywhere... love it.Coffe on my porch is a much admired tradition among my friends. Starts the day off right.

coffee during rush hour, sitting in my car, trying not to swear at the idiot in front of me wishing for more smokes

id love that, thing is i can do it to being in the graphics industry....
Plus it'd save me the 3hrs of commuting every day.

but alas, i KNOW i dont have the self discipline to stay focused at home. I cant even do it at work!

I miss working from home **SO** much... did it for 2 1/2 years and I`m the most easily distracted person I know... still always found a way to get the work done...

I love the freedom... I could go for a week and do next to nothing (worked for myself), then work 16hr days for a week to catch up... the work ebbs and flows and so did the hours. the only reason I`m not still working from home is that the work ebbed a lil too much, without corresponding flow... so back to the real world for me.

I also **LOVED** the fact that working from home allowed me to me mr. mum... did it through isaac (my youngest`s) preschool year, so I got to do the school run, preschool morning teas for the mums... the only dad on the preschool excursions, pack lunches... draw pictures on the brown paper bags holding his morning tea... *sigh*... miss all that

as I was working from home, I worked for a few different clients; I found my biggest problem was that I took on pretty much every job thrown my way, `just in case` the work started to dry up, so I worked some crazy hours sometimes (but then I do now, too )...

As Sym already said, he works at home. And I can quite honestly say he doesn't stop bloody working!

I don't know what his hours are, they seem to be from when he wakes up to when he goes to sleep, with breaks for food and poi, and maybe a bit of telly in between.

Perhaps he's a robot, i don't know, I couldn't tell you!
