"  1. Working from home is great.No, seriously, it is a dream come true. There&amp;#039;s no commute, you can eat cereal all the time, and there&amp;#039;s a TV right down the hall. Or right next to you.  2. There&amp;#039;s no commute.And no bathroom line. Like, ever!  3. You control the temperature.You want to make it hotter? Do it! You want the entire place to rival the Ice King&amp;#039;s fort of frozen solitude? All you. This is your house; you play by your rules. 4. You will want to nap constantly.The couch is right there. You&amp;#039;re on the couch. It would be so easy to just close your eyes for 30 seconds and wake up four hours later feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world. 5. But you must resist!That nap will ruin you. You will wake up even more tired, your mouth will taste like an abandoned sewage plant, and you will have a pounding headache. And you will be cranky. Crankier than anyone ever known to man. You will be Mr. Wilson and the entire world will be your Dennis the Menace, trying to harsh your mellow. 6. You will never, ever wear pants again.Approximately three weeks in, you will start thinking about how weird it is that anyone ever puts on clothes at all. When you go out, you won&amp;#039;t be able to shake the feeling of cloth against skin. 7. You will need to focus on laundry consciously.Once you start working from home, your relationship with clean clothes and the process of keeping them that way will become more and more tenuous. No one likes washing clothes and when you never have to leave your house, there&amp;#039;s really no point to it. Until you do have to leave the house and you panic because the only thing that&amp;#039;s clean is your Halloween costume from last year. Partially.  8. With great freedom comes great responsibility.Just because no one&amp;#039;s watching doesn&amp;#039;t mean you can goof off. You will have to work doubly hard to remain disciplined. Remember when you were in college and wouldn&amp;#039;t start your term paper until you found just the right music to set the mood? It&amp;#039;s like that. Except every day.  9. You should never work in bed.It&amp;#039;s tempting, but if you have a bad day at work you&amp;#039;re going to have a harder time falling asleep or eating pizza in the same bed later. Keep that space for recreation. 10. Being on your own all day can be great!No coworkers bothering you, no weird smells coming from the kitchen you can&amp;#039;t identify, no cubicles to hamper you. You can turn your GChat off whenever you want! 11. Being on your own all day can be a total downer.Venting on chat or through email just isn&amp;#039;t the same. And it&amp;#039;s all on record. Gossiping with your rabbit or cat just isn&amp;#039;t the same. 12. It takes a lot of discipline to keep a schedule.And you must keep a schedule. It will provide you with structure and allow you to make the most of your time. 13. You must take breaks.But not for six hours. I don&amp;#039;t care if there&amp;#039;s a Housewives marathon. Get back to that computer!  14. Your grooming habits will be affected significantly.What is a brush? Why deodorant? Who is shower? 15. You might overwork.No set schedule? That means I&amp;#039;m here 24/7. Party! 16. On the other hand, you might underwork.No set schedule? I&amp;#039;m never here. Party! 17. No matter what, though, you can&amp;#039;t ever really leave work.Because it&amp;#039;s in your house! The work is coming from inside the house! 18. And you&amp;#039;ll be so happy to see people. Any people.It&amp;#039;s like a holiday when your roommate comes home! Someone should get the balloons! What, mom? You want to come over and talk about what a disappointment I am? I&amp;#039;d love to! Get in the car now! 19. Your social skills might lag.A few weeks indoors and you may not have anything to talk to anyone about ever again. 20. You will develop a unique physical characteristic.Poor posture or one crazy eye that won&amp;#039;t adjust due to excessive computer use. Very attractive! 21. But again: No pants.Worth it!
