Working From Home for the Wrong Reason

I think it is a fallacy to think that given a chance everyone would work from home.

(a) no discipline to working at home.
(b) because of the mixture of work and hours you never really stop working, i.e. you tend to work less for longer periods.
(c) the whole point to coming to work is to get away from your domestic life to work, so therefore what you really want is no so much a home office, but an office which is exclusively yours away from home.

I am lucky on point (c) as one of the companys I work for has an office they dont use which is mine 24/7. Its there that I do my own private work as well as writing.

Well today was one of the those days when I needed to be in work, but for whatever reason (I wont bore you here - as if you aren't already yawning?) I couldnt. Thanks to remote desktops and pcAnywhere I am able to run a payroll remotely from home. Good for me!

Havent been doing much writing, but have made lots of characterisation notes for mid and end chapters.
