  • I could never work from home . . .

    I've discovered something about myself recently. 


    I'm a hard worker.  When I know people are counting on me . . I give over 120%.  When I'm doing a job for others . . for a client, for my boss, for my co-worker . . . I make sure that it is done, and done correctly. 


    When I do a job for myself?  I'm a slacker. 


    Take today for instance . . .   my boss has decided to work from home.  And it has taken me all morning to do something that it would usually take me 2 to 3 hours to do.  And here I am . . writing about it online.  I can't even say that I'm horribly worried about it either. 
    This job is extremely high-volume and fast paced.  I'm constantly working my fingertips off (literally . . it hurts) . . . and its just nice to have a relaxed day . . . even though I know it'll just get crazy again tomorrow. 


    Is that wrong of me?  Should I feel bad that I'm easing off a bit today?
