Yeah, I've been doing it for around 12 years now. It's nice until your business partner shows up every other day 'cause your office is better than theirs and 'we need to work together' which translates to 'stop what you are doing and help me'. Laugh | :laugh:

But why when you were already living the dream?
Did you loose your internet at home?

Not much of a dream after five months anymore...
No one to share idea's with or to learn from.
I live alone, I work alone, I eat alone, I sleep alone.
I'm an introvert if ever there was one, so some weeks I'd only see my parents because I eat there every Friday night.
That's A LOT of loneliness even for me Laugh | :laugh:

Besides, I'm always at home or always at work.
It makes coming into a working vibe quite difficult.

A change of scenery and some people may be a nice break.
And it's a bit of networking as well.
Who knows what'll come from that Wink | ;)

Best,
Sander

Working from home is just a bit different when you live alone.

It sounds to me like you are experiencing the effects of social isolation mixed with boredom/loneliness from repeating the same behaviors in the same environments. While I hope your new work venue meets some of your needs, I can't help but wonder if you are reaching a place in life where you need to find/try some activities/pastimes outside technical/mental work.

It is never too late to develop new social skills ... once you stop repeating to yourself: "I am an introvert" Smile | :)

cheers, Bill

Thanks Boll!
It's not just that, but I'm struggling a bit to get in a working mood while at home.
And sitting at home all week isn't good for my weight either Laugh | :laugh:

I do have some social activities, just not daily... Sniff | :^)

I've got plenty of friends too, but I don't see them daily or even weekly, they've all got other stuff to do or live an hour+ away.
It runs in the family, I'm not energetic and not social.
Since being social takes up a lot of energy that I don't have it's not something I particularly enjoy.
Being around people and in a different environment for a few days a week should be a welcome change though Smile | :)

Best,
Sander

Motionlessness. One birth in a hundred? Quite the opposite. (10)

So, clicked a link in "Latest News" and came across Johnny J's September post in the lounge The Lounge[^] and from there found this - my must-have-this-for-work mug[^] !
They already think I'm a little strange here - may as well confirm it for them Laugh | :laugh:

A mug is not good enough. Get yourself a 3D printer and make a hat that fits the style. That will freak them out.

How about this one[^]? I personally would need one more like this[^].

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

No chance - you take your own risks apologizing to Herself!

Or better, let's just not mention it to her and we can both keep our anatomy intact ... Laugh | :laugh:

Apologize? What for? Is there no freedom of speech? Or at least the traditional fool's license?
