Is really kind of awesome! At my new job, we get to work from home as long as we don’t abuse the privilege (i.e., when you have to sit at home during a 6-hour window for a 3-minute service call).
I had to wait for the not-blind blind man to come measure the basement sliding glass door so we can get new vertical blinds put up – which took him all of 37 seconds. So I left work early this afternoon – which meant I was 2 hours behind on my workday.
But, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, I was able to vpn into my work network and remote desktop to my machine. And work for two hours!
My tiny little laptop screen isn’t the best thing for juggling a java ide, two web browsers (gotta make my web app work in IE and FF …), an oracle ide, notepad++, and my services manager, but it works well enough. Especially since now I’ll be able to have a regular-ol’ 8-hour friday tomorrow.
