Ahh, yes... the telecommuting question. I've been working as a telecommuter for about 8 months now, and couldn't be happier with it. I'm kind of a loner anyway, not that I'm anti-social, I just prefer to work by myself. I have a phone, ICQ, and email client, WebCams focused on me and lots of web bandwidth, so it's not like I'm REALLY by myself. I have a lot of interaction with others, just not face-to-face.
There was a point made about using the day for errands and the like, which REALLY is nice. No more checking with the boss every time I have to get a haircut or some other trivial thing. It's not like they weren't getting enough hours out of me anyway.
I wouldn't give this up for the world! How many of you office-types had ties on today? Ironed clothes? Uncomfortable shoes? Me? Sweat pants, and an industry-related T-Shirt. I'm lucky if I brush my hair in the morning (yes, I brush my teeth).
