Today I finally got access to the work VPN which means that now, I can access my work email and documents from home.
Now that could be a good thing – I’ve got a couple of reports to write and I wanted to do that in the relative peace of home – but instead I’ve been distracted by my email. In fact I’m just as busy doing the busy-work of the hour to hour crap running a network at home as I am at work.
Plus now that I can access my emails all the time… I am!
So now work impinges on home and home is impinging on work.
This is nuts. I can see that I’m going to have to work out some limits.
Do you work from home? How do you manage it.
Do you have to set up a separate home office? Set aside “work” time?
Coz now that I have it, I don’t want to give up my VPN access.

careful!! remember the home is the home!
but vpn is bloody good tho! cos when you DO want to work you actually can – its great being able to access those documents you need and forgot to save to the stick.
i chose to do only some kinds of house work – washing clothes – this is a good job cos my front loader takes a long time to wash about 45 minutes – or in other words time for a break and a walk around any way. good compromise – if i’m gunna do housework it will the the laundry, otherwise if not i am simply avoiding work. bad!
