1. All your mates with regular 9-5 jobs think that you’re living the life of Riley
“Oh, it must be nice not having to get up early and having the day to yourself.”
Oh, if only it was so blissful.
2. In fact, everyone assumes that you’re just secretly at home watching daytime TV
In fact, they can’t say the word ‘working’ can’t be said without air quotes/winking.
3. On the offchance that they have a day off, they expect you to drop everything and meet them
Oh yes, no hassle at all. It’s not like I’m working or anything.
Not.
4. Sometimes you can go for a full day without actually speaking to anyone
Which results in you being so starved for human interaction that your other half/housemate is forced to listen to everything you’ve been storing up inside you all day.
5. You end up taking way too many snack breaks
“A cup of tea? Sure I’ll have a Hobnob as well. Or seven.”
Damn you, self-control.
6. You are your own boss… which is a good thing and a bad thing
Remember when you were in college and you had to be like, “I’m going to start studying… in five minutes,” and had to rely on your own self-discipline?
Working from home can be a lot like that.
7. There are distractions… everywhere
One click of a button and you’re suddenly trapped down a Facebook rabbit hole.
8. As well as reminders of all the shite you need to do
*looks at overflowing washing basket and winces*
9. At some point, a serious dose of cabin fever will begin to set in
“GET ME OUT OF THIS HOUSE”
10. Still, though, you don’t always have to get dressed which is a nice perk
You can even forgo a bra if you like.
Heaven.
