Working from Home

I am working from home. You all know what it means, right? Whoever came with this wonderful idea about telecommuting, work-from-home, home-office must be a genious! What else could be better than earning your bread without having to pass on the dessert?

Well, it all started in morning when I went out to pick up NYTimes, you know the first shiver that you get when you just step one foot outside, you then even contemplate the decision of picking up newspaper...is it worth the trouble? But I can't live without first dose of wars, killings, genocides and racial profiling in morning...that along with coffee gives me a kick in morning. (Oh by the way, I changed my coffee,....ok ok don't get too excited, I did not order special coffee from Colombia or so....remember I am a grad student, just changed from Folger's Regular to Folger's Custom Blend, which is great!)

Ok...so while having coffee and news, I started getting all these thoughts...how much more productive I can be, if I don't have to get ready for school, showered, all dressed up , finding parking space, getting to office and then leave for a lunch in a while...obviously, working from cozy bed than crowded school won the battle....(oh gosh, I feel sheepish, there wasn't even a battle).

Well, then opened computer all fired up to work, logged on to MSN, just to see that buddies from India are online after a while...that's where I saw my dreams of working from home started going downhill and unseen pleasant break on my way!

Well, not to embarrass myself, I am alt-tabbing to work window for past 1-1/2 hour between paying bills and checking news.

Ultimately, now it's almost lunch time, after all errands and nice cup of tea with Mahesh, I had to write here....yea I am working from home!
