The Off Topic Topic

I do a lot of stuff for my current job from home anyway, so I don't think it would be a shock or anything. Hell, I have a voip phone on my desk at home and my office extension rings there when I am logged into it.

The other night I was installing a new Exchange server while playing Skyrim and watching Netflix.

I neither need nor want to commute downtown to my expensive office to work. But it was not negotiable.  Their point was that lawyers should be communial so that if someone wanted a quick consultation there would be no problem. Mine was that, as the firm takes up more than 4 floors of a huge offoce building, in practice lawyers usually actually "consult" with emails and calls anyway.

Why is it that so many lawyers appear to be technophobes? The corporate world churns on with video conferencing and flex schedules, while lawyers remove their monocles and stroll down the hallway into the library for a consultation and quick nip off the bottle?

Oh, wait, now I get it

I just think old people are suspicious anyone 'working from home' isn't really working

True story. I don't have much love for Best Buy at the retail level but the corporate office has made some great strides in flex scheduling.

I could really imagine working from home being tough. It is hard to concentrate seated in the same place and at the same computer you normally do all your fun stuff on.
If however its a job where getting the work done rather than putting the hours in is the priority then it could be excellent.

I just consider it a quality of life thing;  I try to make a very distinct demarcation between my work life and my home life, and I do not like to have either spill over into the other.  I really, really hate that.

Yeah, me too.
I even usually like to keep different parts of my personal life compartmentalised. You've the family zone, the friends zone, the 'girls' zone, etc...

With regards to working at home one story that keeps coming to mind for me is that of Mr Song and Ice and Fire who has two houses across the street from each other, one as his house and one as his office. The office one quite neatly has a old computer disconnected from distractions.

Too bad he only crosses the street once a week.

New official portraits. There is inevitable ageing of course, but I prefer the style of the 2009 portraits.
