The most important part of working from home is having a reliable fast internet connection (I have cable internet). Now more than two years later, I can't imagine working any other way. If I could have written MY perfect job description - this is ITВ ! -PegДЄt first, working for a virtual company sounded daunting. The worst part - lunch at your desk - everyday! The best part of working from home is the flexibility to take care of your children. I dress like I'm going to an office everyday - it's psychological!! I transfer my incoming calls to my cell phone to be able to pick up children from school or run a short errand. (YIPPIEВ !!)I have a 3 phone lines, fax and modum link to the companies inventory system. I am the only employee working from home. The only ones who DON'T like my home office are my kids - they'd rather I be out in the backyard with them! - Lori of I work for a compay with 19 branches offices.

My latest addition goes in my purse - a smart phone that makes everything just a bit more portable and allows me to work anywhere. To do all this, I have a desktop, a laptop, a workhorse thumbdrive, and a printer/scanner/fax machine. And in MY corner, I help hopeful adoptive couples fix up their adoption profiles. In another corner, I'm a conference planner and registrar for a K-12 education group. In one corner, I plan the classes that I teach through a home-school co-op. My Company wins too, as my breaks and lunch are shorter, or non-existent, and I work as long as I need to to get the job done rather than picking up at 5 o'clock and going home. Still, having the ability to throw a load of laundry in, forego the office garb, and most importantly, be here for my family, is invaluable. My home office makes my old off-site office look tame! My home office consists of 2 laptops, one for the my full-time insurance job, and one for managing my personal business and investments, 2 fax lines, 2 phone lines and 2 cell phones. And going 'wireless' doesn't seem to help much! Joli

At some point, someone's go to figure out how to get rid of all of these cables and wires. Sometimes I feel I'm in a technological wonderland, and them I peek under the desk. I have a lot of monitors, and they're configured to span data across them. I even have a couple of Tablet PCs, a Blackberry, a scanner, a few printers, and a few sets of speakers around too.
