[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I telework full time and have been doing so since 2011.  Just today, I've made breakfast and lunch for me and the kids, done two loads of laundry, put away the Christmas stuff that had been packed up but not yet stored, and packed up a box to mail later.  And done two conference calls. I could have done some of that in an office at lunch time, but not much. [/quote]

Are you doing any actual work??[/quote]

Not PP but I used to occasionally fold laundry while on conference calls. My job involves listening and providing guidance, so it wasn't like it detracted from the call.

I teleworkerd FT for 7 years. I moved back to an office this year when I took a new job. I get less work done AND my house is falling apart. Nothing else is different. I blame the fact that I now have a 45 min commute each way. I have to get ready and be in office mode which takes longer (blow dry Vs towel dry. Make up vs not. Suits vs jeans). Reverse all that when I get home (can't deal with the dogs until I change clothes), can't start dinner prep on my lunch hour, so dinner is rushed.

Basically life is more hectic now.

I do like some aspects of being back in the office, but I literally just this week requested and was approved for a day of telecommuting. I. Can't. Wait. [/quote]
