Don't get high on your own supply.

I work from home 100%.

Yes, you want to get the hell out of there on the weekends.

Waking up whenever you want (within reason) and not having to get dressed every day is pretty sweet.

I'll probably give it up soon though.

Yup, it's a dream job for me. I don't like people that much, so I don't miss the office interaction. And I'm self employed, so I don't have to justify my goofing off on the OT.

You do have to have a good bit of self discipline. When it's time to work, it's time to work, no matter what foolishness is on the OT, or what's on ESPN, or whether the hot cougar next door is laying out by her pool.

I work from home a couple of days per week. I had a stretch earlier this year where I worked from home for about 2 months straight and it actually made me miss the office. I just wanted to get out. I think that working from home 3-4 days per week and being in the office 1-2 days per week would be the ideal situation.

Lunchtime with the SO

I work from home 4 days a week. I am much more productive at home, using my giant dual monitors and a PC that can handle the level of multi-tasking I do -- also very quiet. Wife at work, daughter at daycare, no one to interrupt me unless I choose to answer the phone. It's not like I can be lazy with my line of work anyway, since I have to produce actual results by hard deadlines.

I love it, but it's not without its drawbacks. It takes discipline not to develop a sloth-like habit. I often go a few days without shaving, and I find myself staying up a lot later simply because I don't have to wake up at 7am the next day. Work and home life tend to meld together a lot more, too. Rather than being able to leave work at work, I tend to read and answer work e-mails at night, jump on a couple of tasks before bed every now and then just because I'm bored, shite like that which can kind of make you go stir-crazy.

I work from home occasionally and hate it, you'll miss the office after the novelty of getting up and working in your pajamas wears off.

On the days I work from home I have to go somewhere just to be around people or I feel like I may go crazy.

If you are a loner type though who likes to keep to yourself you may love it

If you have kids they will hate you because you are home all the damn time.

I'm able to work from home 2/5 days per week but do not. I much prefer to be in the office and around my co-workers. Best for my leadership to see me everyday.

My previous company I worked in the field for 3 months straight without seeing my manager. I hated it

I'm in business development for a major medical treatment provider. I get to work from home maybe 1-2 days a week but it's certainly not a vacation. No ifs, and or buts- you've gotta have discipline. Don't get me wrong, I'll definitely clean my house and even watch the occasional episode of Boy Meets World, but when I have to grind out the work I can get in the zone and focus.

It doesn't bore me to work from home. I'll call a coworker if I need something, but I usually have gchat up most of the day to communicate with my friends in the outside world. If I need a brief change of scenery, I'll go for a quick 20-30 min run in my neighborhood.
