So about two seconds ago I saw a post on the twitter from @AllisonNazarian titled, Coming Out Of The Closet: My Name Is Allison And I Work From Home. You can read her post hear.

Anyway it made me think that I to have always felt, or had some anxiety or insecurity, about the fact that people think that if you work from home don’t have a real job, or your on one of those crazy get rich from google things, or you just hang out and play madden all day. (Ok it is really tempting to play the PS3). But I took moment to reflect, and I realized I am way, way more productive at home then I ever, anywhere else in my whole life and more productive then any office person.

Take today for example. up at 8:30 – made coffee, the commute and the coffee took 3 min tops, so lets call it 8:40. From there it was productivity time till about 1:30. Quick break for lunch at my desk, while I watched a video on how to install some software on my server, real downtime 15 min. its now about 4:45 I realize that everyone is coming home, I have not showered and we need dinner, Oh and I really do need a break at this point, so shower, dinner, we had Fajitas and chips and cheese dip, from scratch.

When your a chef you can rock dinner out in about 30 min. So Eat, Chat, and Kiss the babies and were back, Total Time, 1.5 hours. I am sure I will get a little slack as the night goes on. I will have to take a peek at the olympics, aye. But I wont till crash about 1 am, so shave a hour for Olympics. Add that up and 8:30 to 1 am is 17 Hours back out 3 hours for dinner and other stuff and your looking at 15 hours or real work.

Compare that with the office crowd who lets just say have no way to be as productive, with commutes and pesky coworkers. I think I hated that the most. People you work with some who you love, some who you don’t, but you have to be chatty just the same. Oh lets not forget the pointless meetings or the meetings about meetings. So that being said I think we have got em beat. And now I as well am happy to come out of the closet and say hi my name is Tom and I work from home and office people your just jellouse!
