looksgoodinred Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 ok.. the giving up daily showers is just plain weird! but i guess if it's only you at home to offend.. have at it. i'm surprised that only 15% of people would give up half their vacation to work from home. i think i'd give up all my vacation to have the privilege of working from home when i felt like it. i don't think i could give up a favourite food forever though (i love cheese. and blueberries). would you be willing to give up something? http://www.mnn.com/money/green-workplace/stories/what-would-you-give-up-to-work-from-home Link to comment

StandFree1982 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Why would you need to give up Daily showers, chocolate or your phone to be able to work from home? Surely all of these things are more readily available at home? Link to comment

Surely all of these things are more readily available at home? they are. i think the point was figuring out what people would offer up in exchange. chocolate being representative of a favourite food, i expect.

Nespa Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 wouldnt want to work from home at all....and also the fact i wouldnt get anything done! ........I have a big enough habbit just now without being in the house alone all day with the internet at a touch of a button! would rather have lots of dough, not work and be travelling around the world or be in the pub!

Redmist1903 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I would give up fuck all, I'll glad to get away for my month in the heat. Link to comment
tainboy Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I've done it and it needs some serious discipline. Some days when youre just not busy it's tough not to please yourself. Also on the flip side when you are busy it's hard not to work daft hours. I've seen the day when I'm still working away at 3am. On another note, LGIR I think you need to bend over a little more in your avatar. Link to comment

dervish Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'd enjoy giving up the near 2hrs of travel a day so in exchange I'd work an extra 30mins and give up half of what it costs for me to travel to work in pay. Win/win. Link to comment

Right now I'm posting bollocks on the interwebs, but at the same time I've taken a call from a client who wanted me to troubleshoot a locked Desktop. "Pull the plug out and stick it back in." Tricky stuff. :thumbs: Link to comment

Ke1t Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 You should be a footballer Ke1t Unfortunately my inherent laziness and desire to do the bare minimum means the only club I'd get a game for is Aberdeen. And, you know, fuck that. *Edit... just to add.. I recognize a Darren Mackie inference when I see it Link to comment
