4 out of 6 children are still at home, so I'm seriously considering leaving the comfort of my home office for a nice loft space in a converted factory. Besides the cacophony of the kids, here are the "other" reasons why I'm thinking about getting an office outside the home.
Thought some of you might be able to relate ...
10) I want to hire a "hot" assistant, but my wife won't let me.
9) My neighbors think I'm a drug dealer.
8) Oprah is retiring.
7) The pizza delivery boy is becoming overly friendly.
6) I haven't showered, shaved, gotten out of my pajamas, or left the house, in a week.
5) Networking to me, is talking to my 3 year old son.
4) My wife thinks I need to get a "real" job.
3) When I take a break, I throw in a load of wash.
2) All I hear is... " Since you're home all day anyway, can you just do this...?"
1) I feel like I "live" at the office... Wait, I do !!!
LOL!!! I too trade from home full time and can definitely relate to what you're feeling! Bummer you can't get home office tax deduction unless the home office is part of your primary residence/home.
Part of my morning routine is running or hitting the gym - and I go out of my way to pass by the Financial district to see the miserable drones marching to their offices. It always makes me feel good. I will never miss the drudgery of trekking to the office and sitting through pointless meetings.
I farmed for a long LONG time, (home=work=24x7) so I empathize but only to a point:
10) You wana trade or you wanna do something else?
9) You need to move to a better neighborhood
8) see # 10
7) How tight does your chair feel these days?
6) NOW I am worried about that pizza boy
5) better that talking to the computer
4) does she need a real bank account?
3) well, at least you are working off the pizza
2) then wear headphones with motivational tapes and repeat them out loud all day long
