Smile is like a secret love note

I have an option to work from home which allows ‘work’ office to be in my home. I got flexibility to manage my work hours and work places. I know I should be thankful for this benefit but for some reason whenever my manager called me, I felt guilty. It’s not like my manager don’t allow me to work from home but for some reason I don’t feel comfortable answering "where are you?" when he called me.

I love working from home. I can have lunch with my chubby hubby who work 15 min from home and wear what ever I want. Turn on the radio or even play mp3 loudly on laptop.

Some people might abuse work from home option by going out shopping and etc…Some of my colleagues don’t seem to have problem to be online only till 5:00pm and stop answering their mobile phone after 5:00. They don’t feel guilty as they claimed it’s their right. I tried to do the same but end up feeling guilty.

I feel that I work longer hours when I’m at home. I don’t know why but I seem to have problem switching off my office vpn and laptop even after 7:00 pm. If I’m working from most of the time you would see me online on my office network till 11:00pm.

I know I can also opt to go to office and do my stuff there (like my previous job) but I hate:

1. drive to office
2. stuck in jam a
3. make a few round in car park (hard to find parking)
4. eat fast food

Work from home = freedom with responsibility…
