I very rarely get the chance to work from home, but I didn't feel like driving through the snow to work today, so I stayed home. So, the neighbors aren't home, wife's not home..

I'm sitting on my couch in audio-nirvana (and doing some work) hanging out with Larry Carlton, Clapton, The Eagles, Norah Jones and even a little James Taylor. What a great day with the LSi's

How many of you guys work from home regularly? I'm lovin it, but can't stay home on a regular basis.

    I work from home a couple days a week, more if I can avoid some meetings. Love it.

    At least one day a week! Sometimes two if the meeting schedule is light. I'm at work today in Schaumburg. You are a wimp!

    I was a couple miles down the road and my boss called me telling me to stay home. ....he doesn't have to tell me twice.

    All the time... Its good and bad I guess. It's convenient, but it also allows/forces me to work alot of nights/weekends. Working through a VNC session just isn't the same and I'm not as productive though. I guess if I shelled out for dual 20" LCD's at home it might be better.

    My boss quit last week (well not on his own accord however :o). So my boss is now in CA and can't understand this weather stuff.

    I was supposed to be in japan and Taiwan this week (which obviously got changed around) so I didn't have anything scheduled all week. I got a boatload done this week.

    I'm a lot more productive at home (when I'm not wasting time on the forum)

    My last job I was able to work at home quite frequently. Now, working for a large insurance provider, I need to be at the office in case something goes horribly wrong.

    Of course I can do my job at home 99% of the time at some and get to every so often :)

    I do it once a week. Music all day long (although, its not a sweet since my 2-ch system is kaput). With the hellish drive in Atlanta (21 miles= 35-55 minutes each way), its the only thing that keeps me sane. Well, that and my alternating Fridays off (called a Flex Schedule). That means every other week, I only drive to the office 3 days.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...
