They call us telecommuters. We wake up, eat breakfast and punch in. We work at home, most of the time in our pajamas haha! Our main equipment: a computer with a high-speed internet connection. Most of our communication is through e-mails, chats and sms. Yup! No annoying daily commutes, no pushing just to get on the train, no sucking up of regular pollutants and no MSG on lunch food.
It took a while for me to adjust to this kind of setup. The fact that there are no IT personnel to help me set up the softwares. Setting up shop is a very complicated thing. They tell you its easy but, really, it not haha! Anyway, I finally got settled hardware/software-speaking and now I have to deal with another major thing -- the medium shift.
Let me explain. Medium as in medium of communication. I was a graphic designer before. Graphic design deal with CMYK inks, printing press, paper stock, color separation, crop marks, etc. Now I shifted to web design and I deal with HTML, CSS, javascript, bandwidth, optimization, tags, etc. Its on the same field, its just a different medium. (I admit this is boring stuff. I'm amazed you're still reading this haha...)
The best thing about this - no annoying and gossipping officemates lurking! Yay!
