I just realized that today marks 5 years since I was directed to start working from home. It was so scary at the time, my phone constantly buzzing about which sports league was delaying their start, companies I followed announcing closures, etc. When I got home, I set up my work station, took all of one hour, and then I was ready to go. Luckily I was hired onto what turned out to be wonderful project. My first day was early April 2020. Immediately I knew that since I could do my job 100% at home, I never wanted to go back to a traditional office.
Since then I’ve had to pivot to another industry just so I could stay remote, but it beats having to take a day off work whenever a repairman needs to come to my home. If it’s a very slow day my supervisors don’t care if I work in my garden (as long as I’m still near my computer).
I can now spend my weekends actually relaxing rather than catching up on chores, or unwinding from the barrage of typical office life drama. This is the life!
