The Home Office

Working from home is great. No commute, no boss looking over your shoulder, no dress code, no stress, no hassle. Most of the time that is.

Discipline can be awkward. Yesterday for example. The plan was to work straight through the day & night on optimising a couple of features for the AN Guide (geek: really couldn't justify loading 250K javascript on every New Thread page just on the occasional off chance it might be needed...).

It wasn't a big "pressure cooker" working day, the self set deadline of "before sleep" was vague enough to allow for plenty of pizza & half life zombie killing breaks, maybe even check New Posts every hour or so to keep the brain from stagnating. And yes, gosh darn it, friends could visit for a little while on the understanding I'd continue to work.

That's the plan explained. "Gatecrash Woolies' for a party" means that the next morning hosts an empty case of cider, full ash tray, red wine stains on the bed and debris in a forumer's bladder. The javascript works though. I think...
