Every time my parents come to visit, they are amazed by the technology I have in my house. Although they have cable and internet in their home, the idea that I can use a Bronx T1 to work from home and not go in to the office every day is a totally foreign concept. They still poke their head inside my office to see who is talking when I am on a teleconference and just shake their heads in amazement. I personally love the flexibility being able to work from home affords me. If I had to go into and office every day I would have to take the day off any time they come to visit. Being able to work from home allows me to pop in to meetings or on conference calls while they go for a walk or pick up supper; then we can pick right back up where we left off! As amazing as they find it, I know they appreciate it as much as I do and for the same reasons!

It seems to me that I am getting more and more tired when I get home from work. I guess my age is catching up with me. After getting to work and doing things all day, I always seem to have to wait in traffic before I get home. It’s getting tiresome.

Luckily, I have the privilege of doing some shopping online when I get home. This always seems to relieve the tension that has built up all day. I like knowing that my money is well spent and bringing home the things we need provides me with a good feeling. Shopping on the internet can be fun.
