Sorry office workers, but honesty really is the best policy and, to be quite frank, us at-home workers have it way better than you.
Okay, so admittedly there are always negatives in any situations, like when my cat decides to jump-attack my keyboard and have a mini feline field day. However, the benefits of working from home far outweigh the negatives, and I would encourage any office workers, especially the introverted types, to look into it more. Now. Do it now.
You can wear pyjamas all day
That is right. No more two-hour professional makeup sessions, less washing, and a whole lot of comfort and coziness. Of course, there are times when you may have to suit up, such as when it comes to online meetings. I guess I am extra lucky in that all my online conversations do not include video chats.
None of the humans
Urgg… people. Who needs ‘em? Not me. Not you. Especially, not at-home workers. They talk. They breathe. It’s just altogether very rude and I simply won’t have it anymore. Except if you want to bring me lunch. Then it’s fine. We’re cool.
No awkward office politics
I only have three big hates in this world and they are as follows: Number three: sexism; Number two: racism; Number one: office politics.
Just the thought of navigating this realm of workplace gossip and broken-telephone immaturity turns my stomach into a nauseating death curdle. Luckily, working from home minimizes the possibility of office drama by, say, 100 percent (unless you’re looking for it).
So, to all the office workers thinking about working from home, join us. We have less anxiety.
