Like a lot of people, I have started working from home because of the virus.
Ever since I got the job I currently have, in 2017, I have recommended that we stop paying rent on an office space and instead work from home.
That has always been met with resistance, and no one has listened to me. But now, they were forced to. Okay, but even so, my boss decided to have us start working every other day from home, so that means I have to go into the office every other day. To tell the truth, there are a lot of advantages to both. The good things about working from home have more to do with my life than with the work. For example, I can take a few minutes to do laundry and no one knows or cares. For another example, I had to schedule an HVAC repair the other day. Normally, to get the HVAC repair done, I would have to use time off of work and waste my precious paid time off. I would have to schedule a time when my boss would allow it, and I would also have to sit and wait for hours for the a/c guy to arrive. They always give you an HVAC repair time “window,” right? So, the a/c company can arrive anytime during that window and you have to be there to let the a/c guy in. That means sitting and waiting and wasting time off. The HVAC repair I needed the other day was so much easier to schedule while working at home.
