to work at home by the use of an electronic linkup with a central office
Today was my first day of telecommuting from home. What wonderful timing too. I needed to unpack my suitcase and do laundry (which I did over my 'lunch break' of course).
How did they come up with the word telecommuting? Shouldn't it be teleworking or tele'not'commuting? I'm not commuting anywhere. That's the joy of it.
According to the ITAC telework survey:
45.1 million Americans worked from home last year according to the 2004-2005 ITAC American Interactive Consumer Survey.conducted by the Dieringer Research Group. Out of 135.4 million US workers, 45.1 million worked from home; 24.3 million worked at a client's or customer's place of business; 20.6 million work in their car; 16.3 million work while on vacation and 15.1 million work at a park or outdoor location, Some 7.8 million work while on a train or airplaneSeriously, people work from their cars?
I'm going to Kim's tonight to eat Pad Thai and watch our Israel video. This activity is very counterproductive. I'm already sad enough, should I really be emmersing myself in more memories?

People definitely work in their cars. Pharmacutical reps, real estate agents, etc. They even sell work desks that fit on your passenger seat so you can use your laptop.
Been mobile and a telecommuter for most of my career. If video conferencing goes mainstream, working in my pajamas will have to stop.
I want to work from my car!! That sounds brilliant. I could be in Nebraska for all they know. All I need is a wireless card!
