Go to work in your underwear!
Well, that’s the idea, right? Go to work in your underwear because you work for yourself at home and life is easy. Hmmm…I think not. All the work-at-home gurus tell you that you can work from home lounging about in your underwear. Here’s the deal: if you work from home for yourself, you don’t have time to change. you might be in the same pair of britches for 3 days straight. You’ll have your back to the window so you can’t tell if it’s day or night; AND, you only happen to know it’s late at night because you just called and woke up your DSL tech-support guy at 3am because you’re getting a bunch of 404’s you can’t figure out until you realize your cat chewed half way through your CAT5 because you forgot to feed it today, (the cat not the cable). Post it notes keep you up most nights because that’s how you track your projects. If you have the note up, the project is still pending some kind of action. You would gladly pass a lot of this work off to your Web designers but they just give you a blank stare when you look in the mirror. Yes, you would love some Starbucks but they’re usually closed at 2 in the morning and you don’t have time to go get it anyway. The phone rings off the hook…well, there is no hook but if there were it would do that. It’s 5 in the morning and I think I’ll get a couple hours of sleep before checking in with a couple of content writers from New Jersey.
Enjoy the journey!

For the record, I do not own a cat, (though I did see one in a magazine once).
