Sitting right now in a small cubicle, how I wish I had a job that would allow me to work from home. It seems like an ideal job. You don’t save to spend money on commuting, you can wear what you like and above all, experience all the comforts of your home. But that’s not the case at all. If you live with a family or, say your children, your life would not be less exciting than being a superwoman. Balancing work and home can be an amazing art, check out how.
1. You are doing ten things at a time: You won’t be able to take breaks in between as you’ve got to balance work, home and kids at the same time. While your bai is ringing the bell, your baby starts crying, just then your boss calls you and… Oops! You forgot that you’ve kept milk on stove for boiling!
2. Your desk turns into a dining table: Everything your do is on your desk and in front of your computer. You eat you, you work, and you eat again.
3. Your house is no less than a garage: Working from home does not bestow you with any special time to clean your house. By the time you are done with your work, you house is full of toys, dirty cloths.
4. You cannot work for more than 5 mins in peace: You keep getting interrupted by your maid, children, husband, your children again, and this will just not stop.
5. Your best friend gives you a surprise visit: What’s worse is that when you are busy working towards your deadline, your BFF lands up to meet you. Which will you choose to ignore?
6. You look like a complete slob: No suiting up ever. You always end up being in your pyjamas, looking like a lazybones forever.
7. There is no one around to ask for help: The only thing good about working from home is it will make you independent. Quite literally.
8. Your pets will add to your trauma: Just when you are about to finish your presentation, you smell your cat’s poop. Ah disgusting.
9. You fall victim to every urgent assignment: Everyone knows your are working from home and have access to the speedy internet. Be it mailing at 12 or making a quick ppt, the burden is put on you.
10. You are imprisoned at your own home: For you there is no such thing called ‘done with work, going home. For you your work is home and home is where the work is.
