*dimsumdolly* - the different morsels of the life of a foodie

Working from home

I've been granted permission by my boss to work from home today and tomorrow because there's renovation going on in the office unit next door. The occasional drilling can cause quite a disturbance to a usually quiet office.

When I complained about an oh-too-quiet office, I really didn't mean it to be remedied by the sound of drills and hammering.

But guess what? I'm back in the office! I decided to come into the office 'cos there were some things I needed to do which could only be done at work. Moreover, it's not like the drilling and hammering goes on all day. It's very occasional and something I can live with for those few moments.

I think working from home requires plenty of discipline. I could do it--but only if set up properly with everything I need to work with in my study. But if I had to choose, I think I'd still prefer to go to work in an office. At least it gets me out of the house and there's a change of environment. The best is if I had a choice as to when I want to work at the office.

The nature of my job does actually allow that kind of flexibility, but due to corporate rules, I'm can't do so. Bummer. It'd be great if I could work from home on alternate days, coming into the office only when I need documents signed and handed over to relevant parties or attend some meeting.

But I guess I could just dream on.
