        <description><![CDATA[I have been working from home for over 5 years and the list is very accurate.  For me work avoidance is a significant issue, usually followed by long hours, but #1 is still my #1.  When you are at home, you are still at work.  I combat that by trying to get out of the house on a regular basis, even if it is just to take a walk.  Sometimes it works.........]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Ooooo! A 25 cent word. You probably are of a lower life form because you live on an island, just like the the Iguanas of Easter Island. Didn't Darwin come up with some theory that way, about animals living on an island?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[What on earth has being British got to do with anything?  Is it more or less relevant to how anyone works from home or the issues they have to deal with?  Or is it because you are one of those parochial Americans who think of Brits as a lower life form?Just wondering...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[No he hasnt got me trained, I chose to do this so I get a &quot;weekend&quot; off - the more I can do on the Friday, the less I need to do over the weekend.   The idea is that just because i am working at home - i am still working and therefore should work to office hours - the housework in the lunch break is my way of improving my me-time]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I agree - although the one day at home is used working for my Husbands business, I still set a routine.By 9am, I have to be showered and dressed for the office (jeans acceptable - dress down day - with basic housework already done - dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier) - break for lunch 12/12.30 - empty dishwasher/washer/dryer and refill/start as necessary - 1pm back to work until 4.30.  No distractions allowed at work - ipod on shuffle and loudspeaker for low background noise.  Even have a thermos of coffee with me in the separate office so I dont have to go to the kitchen and a downstairs cloakroom so no long visits to bathroom - Works really well so long as you have self discipline]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[If your IT boss is the &quot;business&quot; kind, not the &quot;technology&quot; kind, he or she can easily forget what is needed about what you do.  This gets even worse if you happen to be the only DBA, or the only Web App programmer.Working from home can isolate you fairly quickly from what's up at work.  (It's very similar to being the only evening-shift guy.)  People forget to tell you about important changes at work.So when there's a budget crackdown or the black-ink turns red, you'll find yourself trying to defend the importance of your job!  And trust me, if you're doing that, it's too late already.So make your presence felt in the office regularly, even if there's no desk available to sit at.  See your team members face-to-face, bring up current work issues in real conversations.  If you do it often enough, you'll stay relevant.]]></description>
