my job

this is what a typical work day looks like for me:

if you look at my computer in this photo, you can see that i've gotten sidetracked from my work... ;)

lots of sunshine, lots of sitting on the couch, lots of watching kitties grooming themselves

working from home is great. i can wear pajamas. i can work anytime i want. i have the luxury of a flexible schedule.

but some of those benefits also become drawbacks. being able to work in my pajamas means that i pretty much ONLY work in my pajamas. i don't really like sitting on the couch all the time. and forcing myself to get my work done feels like torture sometimes. when you have the option of working whenever you want, it can be difficult to actually SIT DOWN and DO IT. it's really easy to put it off and do something else instead.

with that said, i DEFINITELY wouldn't trade working from home for an office job. no way. no how. i've got it made. it's also been really good for me to learn some more discipline. since i'm the one in charge of my schedule, i've really had to crack down on myself to get things done. i think this is making me a better person and allowing me to improve myself in an area where i sometimes lack - sticking with things and self-discipline.

also, i get to hang out with gretel and lily all day! they're pretty good office mates.

  1. Fact...cat is at my feet, still in my jammies, and the work I have to do is obviously not getting done because I'm commenting. :)

  3. I love this post! I currently have a cat curled up next to me, impeding my computer use... and the other two are here somewhere... probably eating my houseplants. Kitties are the best office mates around! It was lovely to see your "place of work"

  6. I love this! I dream of working from home. I would simply love it so much. Working at an office gets sooooo mind-numbing some days. I would love the flexibility of time and wardrobe that I'd get from working from home.

    I'm curious - what type of job do you do? Do you freelance or is it an actual office job for an actual company that you just happen to do from home?

  7. ok, that first photo is just awesome. i do wish i could work from home... but then i realize the main reason id want to is so i could sleep in, every day and that would end up being very bad:)
