Random Thoughts: Working At Home
One of the things that I really love about working at home is being my own boss. It’s hard sometimes, keeping myself motivated and on task. It’s easy to get distracted by other things, like chatting and reading web sites. It’s also easy to get distracted by doing things around the house.
One of the major things, however, that I love about working for myself is the fact that I don’t have to worry about poor performance reviews. That was the one thing that I always hated when I was working in data entry. Everyone has off days, but judging whether someone should keep their job based on one day? Screw that.
The last data entry job I held, I was not offered a contract extension because my error rate was too high. I asked what data they were using and they had used the previous day, where I was given batches that were completely screwed up. None of it was my fault, it was the fault of whomever batched them. But whatever.
Working at home, I have no one to be accountable to but me, myself and I.
