OK, I think I’m the only person on the planet that remembers that song. Or did I imagine it? At any rate, here’s a rather stylized rendition of a Bird of Paradise. Next week I’ll show you something closer to the real thing!
Why is it that so many people think that if you’re working at home that you’re not really working. It really does seem to be a very common thought.
My first encounter was when I was working in corporate America but was working from home b/c of some health issues. Perhaps that comment was meant as a joke as it came from a co-worker who also worked at home. She mentioned something about working from home and then added the “wink wink, nudge nudge” to the end of her sentence. It may have been her own frustration b/c she had encountered the same resistance and resentment from management and co-workers.
Just over three years ago, I left corporate America and went into business for myself. I’ve been doing it from my house. No reason to find me an office for one person. At first it was my dad who thought I wasn’t working. I could kind of accept it. He was older and didn’t quite ‘get’ the concept of making a living out of my house with a computer.
But recently, I’ve had several encounters that told me that a lot of people don’t think of me as working. First there was the friend who thought I was retired. (Yes, I took early retirement, but I never really said I was retiring.) Then another friend thought that my web site business was more of a hobby than a business. And just last week, I was talking to a friend that is a school teacher. She mentioned that she would be out of school starting next week and suggested we could get together and go here and there. And she ended with “I won’t be working.” And I replied, “Well I am.” Her reply was that I was, but not really. I think she meant that I could set my own hours. But it sounded more like she thought I didn’t really work. Don’t tell that to the guy who just hired me to build his web site.
Do you know someone who works from home?
Just as long as it’s just you and me. Can you believe the size of this car? The brand name on the back just said “smart”!
