The turmoil of the dot com world isn't over, but I've started working from home and things are already turning around. I was afraid that without contact to the people at work, I would be isolated and unable to produce any work. I found it was quite the contrary! The last few months have bred such an oppression feel around the office, being able to sit in my own chair, with my girlfriend near, our cats roaming the house and my music turned up as loud as I want has really given me clarity!

I roll out of bed around 8am and start working. I do some solid work until around noon, when I take a shower and grab lunch. Then I climb back in and put in some more solid work until 5 or 6pm. In the office, I really didn't even get into good working mode until 1pm.

I'm not sure that my manager believes me yet, but I think he'll come around when he sees the results of my productivity. :) It's amazing what being happy and relaxed can do for you.
