Empty IBM building,   

I know what you mean about hubby needing attention haha. Same for me when he's home. But I wouldnt want to go out to work anymore. Im very lucky to be able to work from home, not having to get dressed, put on makeup, etc...AND, I dont have to see my bosses haha....now the latter is the best part of it. A cubicle or a room with a lock is a necessity !!!

You're right, time will tell. I cant see it being so bad as you can see each other via cameras and talk to each other, so its like being there with others. I like that idea very much so. Especially with IBM, they use Second Life which is a internet site where you pick an avatar and interact with others....pretty much like a game. It mixes reality with fantasy. Might make "going" to work more fun......can you imagine no more traffic jams???

So what do you do that allows you to work at home?

I do customer support. Just look for work to do at home in your area and im sure you'll be able to find something.

Maybe this company Capita is also having their employees work from home but they're not saying? Some companies are afraid of having it be known. They still have interaction and laughter since they're all connected via an internet site called "second Life". They have their avatars and all meet in a virtual meeting room, they can talk as they all have microphones and headset. I personally would like it very much. The funny thing is that the employees of Second Life, do work in an office......but they have their meetings in a virtual room and most of them have virtual offices even though they have a physical office.......how weird is that!!

It wouldn't appeal to me but I suppose I'm "old school" and like human interaction with, er, humans as opposed to the virtual world. Maybe IBM are testing out new technology on their employees (nothing sinister of course) to see if it works. It's a possibility isn't it?

Apparently, they are past the testing period. It seems to be the way of the future for them. It saves everybody on fuel, clothes and it saves the company a lot of money also. Sick leaves have been down drastically as people can still work if they're not well. They say the company loves it and the employees also. You can always ignore the person you dont like at the office that way haha!

Well that's true. I'd not thought about that. I've worked with some right battleaxes in my time lol.
