Continued: 8 reasons to NOT work at home
- I live in organised chaos
- Sitting for long periods has made my bottom the size of the moon
- I walk around leaving jobs half done like some lost mental patient
- I have now become a huge fan of Jeremy Kyle- This is no joke it actually happened.
- No-one else does any housework because apparently, that is my job being at home all day
- The animals create opportunities to distract me from my work at ANY given opportunity.
- I have become a social recluse and I am a midget gem away from creating a friend out of a football.
- For sale sites and eBay have become the most effective way of spending my earnings…boom!!
Part 7
It is a sad fact that working at home can be lonely. It is hard to understand that I appreciate, given that my days are extremely busy as point 1-6 suggest, but it is all the same very isolating.
As a result, you start to talk to the animals as if they are human, the postman drifts into an uncomfortable silence as he is almost talked him into a coma, and you start to randomly talk to yourself, or anything that is in your way. My husband, well at least who I think he is ( Looks a bit like the man on a photograph in the house) breezes in after his work and moans that I insist on talking at him when all he wants to do is rest and eat his tea. The craving for conversation is constant.
I had a bizarre conversation with a carrot once, but that is for another story.
Listen up buttercups, if you want to remain sane, get an outlet. It worked for Tom Hanks in Castaway when he made a friend called Winston out of a football.
I may make a face on the TV screen and kill two birds with one stone as that should get a conversation out of the hubs!
lmao WILSON!!!!! It can make you a little batty. Working from a cafe if you can helps, but then you're still alone staring at strangers lol.

Yes... butthe freedom to get up and walk out the door at any given time is a perk. And when I decide to travel somewhere, work is only a laptop away. Put in a few hours and that's it.
Many people at a workplace only have a couple of hours of concentrated work a day anyway.

LOLOL! Someone told me the other day that I had a wicked sense of humor. I said it was by-product of homeschooling all three of our kids - my wittiness (or lack thereof) evolved from talking to inanimate objects to keep from losing my sanity (mission accomplished? LOL). I totally relate to all the above, except in my case, it was Steve Wilkos. 😂
By the way, not sure if you get any type of notification when I tag you in a post, but I nominated you for the 7 Day Black and White Photo Challenge. 😀

That was my interpretation of it, although I've seen some with body parts... wait, that sounded ominous...LOL! Meaning, I've seen some shots with hands resting on a table, feet crossed at the ankles, that kind of stuff.

I've been suffering panic attacks of late and have been working from homme more often. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not buy it working for now. I have always talked to the animals so that hasn't changed. Lol. Going to follow you as this looks like a good series.

I have just finished this series,but if you want to see them, they are here :-)...https://steemit.com/workingfromhome/@sarahewaring/the-unglamorous-truths-about-working-from-home-all-links-here-in-case-you-missed-any... I get the panic attack thing, I had agoraphobia in my early twenties as I suffered badly. Joking aside, working from home is great, just take some breaks and get some fresh air as it helps. Hope you feel better soon :-)
