Looking Out Of My Bedroom Window At The Snow This Morning I Saw How Fortunate I Was To Work From Home
Today, when I got out of bed, I opened the curtains and viewed a blanket of snow. There weren’t any footprints yet, this was virgin snow which had fallen overnight. It looked like a picture, from inside the house.
My car was white with the snow and I thought how privileged I was that I Work From Home and did not have to spend quarter of an hour or more, removing snow and ice from my car before setting out to work, making sure the windscreen washer was not empty and could clear the salt from the window, heating up the inside of the car too, all before starting my journey into the office.
Once on the road, I would be faced with the snow dance in the car. Hoping the tyres were going to hold the road and not have me skidding into the path of oncoming vehicles, or brakes not stopping the car because of black ice. No, I am part of the Internet Business, so am free to stay in my home when the weather is bad. I can sit in my snuggly pyjamas and dressing gown, drinking coffee while I tackle those Online Jobs which have appeared overnight and then, when all my neighbours have left and are on their way to work, I can take a break to enjoy the snow.
My children love snowball fights, sledging and building snow castles, so that is what we do. The opportunity to Work From Home gives me this flexibility. I can work from early morning, take a rest in the middle and then work later in the evening, if that suits my family best. So, with no feeling of guilt, I park the Online Jobs which I have not yet completed, get dressed in warm clothes, wrap the children up in hats, scarves and gloves and out we go.
Some time later, we are all happy to return to the house having enjoyed our hours in the snow. A warm drink and something to eat and I return to my Internet Business. I can now continue with my daily tasks, having been revived by my time playing with the kids. They are willing to entertain themselves for a while now to allow me to get on with my business, so we are all winners.
Had I not been fortunate enough to Work From Home, I would have probably left my house while it was still dark to commute to the office, then because it is winter and the nights draw in early, it would be dark when I arrived home. I would be promising my kids that if the snow was still there at the weekend we could have fun in it together, but there would be no surety, of course, that the snow would still be there at the weekend and we would all feel let down.
I, however, could run my Internet Business at hours that fit in with me and my family, so games in the snow, when it is there, and work on those Online Jobs when we are done playing is a real bonus for us. I love the fact that I am one of the fortunate ones who found a job working from home, which gives a good living and at the same time affords me the flexibility to enjoy time with my kids whenever we want, and work early hours or late, depending on our current requirements.
