Where there is delight in wearing jeans and sweatpants, there is also loneliness where day-to-day interaction with colleagues is absent. Dan of Geek to Me understands what’s coming as he faces working from home,
I’ve worked some from home before. At that Wyoming paper, I took video home to edit from time to time. There wasn’t a reason besides wanting to be at home. I was still working, but I hadn’t slacks on. Or jeans if it was Friday. Sweatpanted bliss.
Then, when I returned to Chicago, I still did work for them through the ol’ VPN from the comfort of my couch. By simply glancing away from the screen I was able to look into the maw of Soldier Field or out across Lake Michigan.
The self-discipline to turn off the television and give your full attention on what’s before you could be challenging, especially with a fridge just a room or two away or a dog barking for attention.
