Im rather enjoying working from home; as long as I get the hours in the pay period, I can put em in pretty much whenever I want to ... the real PITA is having to be reasonably coherent on an 0800EDT telecon (which fortunately isnt a daily occurrence)

I get more done working from home, but I also drink more coffee (although much of it is decaf).

I almost always get done more at home but lately a few clients have done these all day WebEx conference bridges and I've lost my mind being on for 8-10 hours. I've now banned them.

my limit for a conf call or WebEx is about 2 hours at a stretch; even with planned/choreographed bio breaks, if the discussion is likely to go more than about 6 hours I'll generally try to figure out a way to be there in person

On a slightly different note, having a 65+ lb. dog put most of his weight on one of your leg bones is rather uncomfortable.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to ask: would another term for that be a Peeking Tom?
Please do not think that I flipped the bird with that fowl sense of humor, for I am just winging it baste upon what I have already read to keep abreast of this discussion.

Agree completely. Nothing worse than a WebEx more than 2 hours. You can never really tell whos taking and miss the jokes in the room and the whole ability to read people.
