Pros and Cons of Working From Home

I'm pretty lucky to be able to work from home with my current job so I got to thinking about the pros and cons of the situation:

Pros

  • all you can eat buffet (all day, anything item desired and the chef is cute...after 10 am)
  • fruit smoothies (free and not $5 each)
  • coffee is always made right and just the way I like it, no line ups and always in my favourite mug
  • get to roll out of bed and work in my "pajamas"
  • I'm on time
  • go home for lunch
  • get to listen to my music as loud as I'd like without having to use headphones
  • usually get lots more work done due to the lack of interruptions because no one knows where my desk is!
  • don't have to get ready, figure out what to wear, iron, or walk to work with a heavy laptop on my back!
  • I have an office with a window and a great view

Cons

  • my "office" is hot as hell
  • likely potential to gain weight as I don't get my daily 40 minute walk
  • the maid never comes
  • go home for lunch
  • don't leave my apartment all day (not that I leave my office either when I'm there)
  • I can spend the day not speaking to anyone which can turn a person antisocial
  • Don't get to bump into any cute boys
  • The noise of the sirens can get on your nerves and make phone calls difficult

Anyways, that's all I have come up with for now. I just finished my smoothie and now it's time for me to go for my coffee break.
