How about this, which I hearby call the Beer Principle (patent pending):
If being "on call" means I have to remain sober the whole time, you need to show me the money. If being "on call" means I can get drunk in the privacy of my own home and not get in trouble if you call me whilst in my cups, then we're cool.
Agreed. You don't want to look at your code. ABAP gives me a headache, and the way SAP designs their code.... I guess I'm just not smart enough to follow what's going on after the 20th INCLUDE within an INCLUDE within an INCLUDE. It's poorly documented, and usually the comments [in the code] are in German.
Hydrogen Economy has nothing to do with automobiles and everything to do with sound-waves bumpin' uglies with your hypothalamus. And techno. And whack-azz beatz. It's about getting one's groove on and rubbing some funk on it. Who knew Rhode Island could rawk so hard?
I hate to "me too" a post, but I feel strongly about this ruling too. I've been trying to getting my boss to let me telecommute for almost a year now with no success. It's one excuse after another. When I heard about this decision, I knew that I could forget about the big dream of coding in my boxer shorts and getting paid for it. I agree with the posters that say that an employer should help with office equipment. For instance before I could even think about telecommuting, I'd need a faster internet connection (56k right now *grin*). I'd expect them to help me out with a DSL connection or something, not to mention software. But office furniture? Come on! What about the other 120 hours a week when I'm using my computer for non-work? Like when I'm slashdotting? Do you think I could when a disability case because I spend 40 hours a week on bad equipment for work, and another 40 playing quake? I dunno. I just want to telecommute. Is that so wrong?
