I work from home and I love it. I enjoy staying inside on those nasty, cold winter days. Not having to scrape off my car is one of life’s little pleasures that never gets old.
I tend to spend a good amount of time talking on the phone so it is nice to not have to worry about bothering an office-mate with my gabbing.
