Most cities have office buildings that look like one big corporation, but it's actually a large group of individual entrepreneurs in small offices and cubicles. They share the copier, the watercooler, the internet connection, the receptionist, the break room, etc. For some people that might be a fun and cost-effective alternative to renting a whole office to yourself. Something to consider. |
I spend a lot of my time working at local espresso cafes or other places with wireless Internet. If you miss social interaction that's a great way to get it. The good thing about working at home is you can get social interaction on *your* terms--minus the fake camaraderie, office politics and other BS of a traditional work setting. I can always go out and get social interaction when I want it, meet friends for lunch on my schedule, take time off for whatever reason, etc. The only co-workers I have to deal with in my home office is my two dogs, and my commute is about 100 feet from my bedroom to my office.
In other words, you'd have to drag me kicking and screaming back into a traditional office...
