[…] but sometimes it may not come as fast as you hope. So during those down periods when you feel like returning to your day job like I have a few times, you can come visit me and share a laugh at each other’s struggles […]

Haha funny YC - Make sure you hide this from any future employers ;)

Working from home is good, but for me it has its downsides too. It can be hard to get motivated or at least maintain it over the years at the same kind of levels that any initial enthusiasm buoyed you with. Complacency and ennui can set in, which is why its always good to have a little bit of an authority saying hey dude, try and get to there please or else kinda thing..keeps us on our toes

I have to be honest and say that given the choice I’d much prefer a team. As for the office politics and stuff, heck, if its one of those environments then its no big deal to up sticks and move on. I’m currently applying for and getting invited to various interviews for some cool online roles. I can’t say how psyched I am at the prospect of working with real people with similar passions for this online stuff again. For me ( and lots of others I don’t doubt) it’s not always about the money :D

Thanks people, fun to know most of you got it - Jordan’s got very good points too.

End of the day - you have a choice and you have to follow what you desire or do not have strong desire for. Nothing is really as easy as what people make it out to be - or simply, nothing’s free!

LMAO - very funny YC, but I do get what you’re saying…

Were ya having a bad day?

I had one of those kind of jobs years ago. And it’s all good except like most others that work at home… my name is Heather, and I’m a workaholic :) And so even though I could do all those things, I generally ended up working the 80 hour week and not having a social life anyway. Atleast at home, I don’t have to wear business attire to do it.

I almost forgot about all these perks…. but there are certainly some benefits to working at home too :D And not all these perks apply to every job either (ex. slacking, free beverages, etc.)
