The office is alive with whispers. People at every corner of the cube farm discussing the latest buzz. We get to work from home! You have to understand that my company is not an IT company. They believe in face-to-face interactions. People not in the office are no longer necessary. But the new CIO, decided that this should be an option and now.

The kicker is that you loose your cube and you have to work out of the office at least 3 days. They are still working out details like what they will pay for and what happens to your office phone, mail, supplies, timecards, expense reports, and all that jazz.

You can imagine the office is quite in a twitter. I’m okay working from home. But I find I’m one of those people that needs interaction, drive-bys, and just noise of humanity to work. I get a little too paranoid when left to my own self. I also don’t seem to know when to stop working. And darnit the laundry fits right into my schedule. Run something on a server and change a load from the washer to dryer.

Some managers won’t even admit there is the possibility. Others tell their people horror stories and then ask. My boss just forgot and then said he needed a decision yesterday. But I finally have my window seat! But if I worked from home, I could have my window seat and not have to get dressed till noon. And have a door to close… tempting tempting…
