Not really sure you keep posting mundane things like this. Who does this? Do you get calls from Malaysia at 2am or something? Do people email you and tell you they are watching Days of Our Lives? I don't get what this has to do with anything.

It has to do with WAH. Capsice? I am of the opinion that WAH is an elaborate scam. Why do I think this? Because every WAH person I know has confessed this to me in private, while publicly they proclaim they are the model of productivity.

As for the calls in the middle of the night, just look at the testimony in the thread offered by others.

Oh I see.. I am sure the couple/few/lot (??) of people you have run across is a good sample of the 40 million American's that telecommute.

It's alright, no ones changing anyone's minds here, I know what I do, my boss knows what I do, that's all that matters to me!

Clearly you hang out with the wrong people, then.

WAH is only going to expand in scale going forward as companies realize it costs less to maintain fewer office buildings and as managers start being hired and groomed from the ranks of those who WAH and wouldn't want it any other way.

I don't think it's 40 million. The economy couldn't tolerate that many slackers.

I do hang out with the wrong crowd. They are all WAH types!

Many suffer from delusions about their rise to the top

So now you have seen another perspective. And right here on FT @:-)

P.S. Richard last time I heard from you I thought you were going into business for yourself. Am I recalling someone else?

Likely. I like the home/work balance I have right now. Maybe when the kid gets a bit older.
