Since joining my new firm last October I have been observing what it truely means when I hear people (myself excluded of course) in my group say, "I am working from home on X-day". It is a slick way of saying, "I will get up early, log onto sametime, throw the TV on, or open a book, and do nothing". I have observed that the people who work from home do the least in the group, but are most likely to 'speak up' about 'working' in a group meeting. Perhaps, to them, attending a meeting and actually opening their mouth is what they constitute as work? It makes sense, considering that the rest of the week they are sitting on the couch in their underwear, watching family feud, porn, or young and the restless.
I would like to clarify for the record that I have been guilty of all the aforementioned tasks at one time or another, but more often than not, I am actually producing something worthwhile.....Like this rant on the ROER blog!
Good Day.

Fine job, there. And a wonder outside today in the greater Detroit area. Do you ever cut the grass while WFH?
