Still not getting it.

I grew up in NJ - in the middle of nowhere - and our pool was surrounded by trees. Stuff falling from trees wasn't the problem so much as dead animals. Wake up in the morning, scoop the crap out, and you are good to go.

I couldn't disagree with you more.

I work for a company that is based out of Europe, but has a huge affiliate base here in the US. Our office in the UK can't help much because by the time people in California are coming on line, people in the UK are going offline and going home. We have three offices in Europe, yet we still have other people in Germany, Italy, Japan, and of course the US. We plan on moving into South America shortly, and we will be sure to hire someone local there too - It just makes sense.

Working from home is much more productive too. I start work earlier, take a shorter lunches, less breaks, have no co-workers to bother me, and can work later. If three is an emergency or a big project, I don't have to "drive" back to the office... Weekends too - I can work weekends without leaving home.

It's perfect.

You have to have a routine.... I start work at 6am by answering emails every morning, but at 7:30am I take my kid to school - which requires me showered and dressed on time. I take lunch at noon every day, and try to quit at the same time every day.

Honestly, you are so full of shit. If we were to believe everything you claim to be true about yourself, well then there is nothing you do not know and have not done at the most elite level :1orglaugh

I'm not getting it, LOL? You just proved my point perfectly: You have to skim the debris and dead animals out of your non-screened pool every god damn day. I too remember doing this daily as a teenager as part of my household chores when my family had a backyard pool in NY state also surrounded by trees. Guess how many times I have skimmed my screened pool in Florida? ZERO point ZERO times.

It's quite good to work from home, but I think it's better if you are in the office with your colleagues because If you need help asap thank you can just walk to the person who you need.

I have worked from home for 17 years now, If a project warranted it I would rent office space, but my business does not require it.

Three minutes a day spent skimming the pool vs having a pool that is not really outside.... I'll go with the outside pool.

What's in the law about it?

I work from home, love it :thumbsup

I used to work from "home office", after 1,5 years it was really boring. Now I am working from office and enjoying lunch with my colleagues :thumbsup

Oh boy... Let's start with this .. do you live in the USA?

WOW not at all what I expected from you. I guess dont judge a book by the cover lol. Please looks great..

Like i say, advantages and disadvantages. Plenty on both sides...

I've been working from home since 1997 and I wouldn't want it any other way.

To each his own, but you do realize that the screen around the pool is just a light weight mesh 25 feet over the surface of the water which lets the sunlight, the air, the weather and temperature through, just not leaves and mosquitoes? It's not a hermetically sealed enclosed glass panel that shuts out the outdoor environment!

Arguments that people need an office to be productive are b.s. Frank Schilling, the most successful domainer, runs a business from home. Within 4 years after starting, he had a $100 million buyout offer for his company.

In an interview with DNJournal, Frank said "The most important dollar I ever made - the one that made me shout for joy and feel rich - was the dollar it took to allow me to work from home and to stop going to an office. Everything since, everything, has been anticlimactic for me."

Yeah, I get that... but if you want a thirty foot running start on a belly floop.... You can't do it.

What I don't is why only Florida does this? I've never seen this kind of screen enclosure outside of Florida, and it's not like "you all" have to deal with fall and snow and what not.

When I lived in West Boca I couldn't imagine living without the screened in pool. My buddy Ray was a purist and did not have an enclosure, he regularly had to fish out frogs, snakes, palmetto bugs, vegetation, lizards & worry about gators.

And the mosquitos , flies etc were ridiculous.


Now, living near the inter-coastal in Boynton .. no problem foregoing the cage.

I work in my home... I don't have any other choice since i dont make a lot of money.
If i sometimes make enough money i might think about buying an appartment with 2-3 rooms and making one of the rooms my office :) But thats too far to think for now :D

I guess what it comes down to, if your role is to reach out to prospective clients or manage your inpersonal properties you can do very well with a home office.

If you actually need to manage people or things as a part of the executive team, that's a whole different story.

Well, I could always leave one of the screen doors open if I really want that running start, lol. But I would guess the popularity of screened pools in Florida as opposed to other hot summer places like Arizona or California has to do with the sub-tropical environment here and keeping all the vegetation, insects and critters out of the water like Trend was saying.

If I ever end up in Hungary (or wherever ur based out of hah), can I rent a desk LOL

I would have problems going back to an office. It's not getting up and dressed and being on time, I'm fine with that... It's people stopping by desk to bother me about stupid shit I don't care about. You got a new puppy? Well isn't that special? Post it on Facebook so I can ignore it. I don't want to have a twenty minute discussion about your fucking dog when I am knee deep in HTML.

I hardly ever have this, just be clear on things.

That's because nobody likes you at the office Roald! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

The older I get the more I crave an office environment... I used to work at a dotcom 11 years ago and those were some fun times.

Yeah, the camaraderie at an office is something I miss.

The weird thing to me is reading some people saying that they are more productive at the office than a home-office.

When we had our office...we fucked around all damn day. lol
Telling jokes, drinking, going to Hooters for lunch, finding funny pictures and vids online to pass around.

I remember that around 6 p.m. everybody would be gone and I'd settle down at the office and actually get all the shit done that I needed to because nobody was bothering me. lol

Here at my home office...I work uninterrupted. No music, no television. Just me and my giant freakish brain. :1orglaugh

Lol thats probably true

Me ??? I work from Home.
 

I work from home and honestly, I'm trying to figure out how to make a living doing this stuff. I build a website or two for a small businesses, but I'm trying to get this adult stuff up and running. Any insights would be helpful.
