Oh, that was terrible as long as we lived close to our family. "Can you pick up my kids from school?", "Can you take care of this and that around noon?" etc. etc.
We moved 300 km away 10 years ago and work-wise it was one of the best decisions ever made.

This is an interesting point. I find that a fundamental problem, at least for myself, is that there's no real distinction between my work life and non-work life. It allows me to push a lot of routine activities aside since I believe I'm justified in doing so as I'm always "on the clock".Comment

Sucks if you can't take 5 minutes to go do whatever. It defeats the whole purpose, you are basically just working a 9-5 in your house in which case i would much rather work a 9-5 in an office.☻Comment

very frustrating, one thing i did not consider when moving back close to immediate family was the assumption that i have free time all day to do things whenever they may need me.
its just not the case, just because i work from home does not mean i sit around all day.
I dont even watch TV i work so much lol
but yes it is a horrible assumption for the work from home group, that we sit around got it made.
Some get it though, i have some family members who own their own busines and understand that when you work for yourself, you work much harder, but some will simply never see it that way., These people work hard jobs and think "working from home" must just be sitting on your ass watching TV. Not the fucking case.

Yeah no one I know seems to understand that either. Working from ANYWHERE even home, is still working. It doesn't mean I can just waste time doing whatever I want and magically make money (although sometimes that happens) but usually it means I am busy, backlogged even, and I cant just "finish my shift" like i could at a regular 9-5. I don't get to just walk away from each project at the end of the day and hope its completed by the end of the week. Most in offices get a paycheck regardless, when you work for yourself it's 100 times harder.Comment

That's why I actually enjoy coming into the office, heheComment

that's the reason I got an office. I had family/friends etc. asking me to do all kinds of stupid things during the day, because it would just take 20-30 minutes or so. When you add up 10-15 people asking you to do stuff even just once each during the week, it adds up

My biggest pet peeve... My girlfriend is bad with it too.
I watch our daughter while shes at class from 8 til noon because its easier for her to get her work done, because our daughter just sits in her pack and play and fiddles around while I have her. But when she gets home, she immediately thinks "hey, he can do stuff for me" and asks me to do stupid shit for her.
Then friends think "Hey, he doesn't work a real job, lets tell him to do this and that, and when he says no, say 'why not, it's not like you have anything better to do!'" Fuck that.
I am actually no longer friends with one of my best and closest friends because he got pissed off at me one day and just blew up for no reason... why? Because he works hard from 5am until 3pm busting his ass at this factory job for $8/hr and I wake up at 10am and stop working at 3pm and make 10x as much as him... He was jealous, kept telling me to get off my lazy ass and get "a real job", yet I was making more them him.Comment

It pisses me off beyond what you can imagine. And you know what? Nobody gives a fuck either... they all get together and bash me about it when I have something to say. They always pull the "We work hard at a real job while you sit around looking at porn all day" line... then I say the "It's a shame I have no education and still make more money looking at porn all day than you do at your real job that took you years of college to get" line... I always look like the asshole in the end. So I just said fuck everybody and now I just say "No" with no explanation to whatever anyone asks me to do while I'm on the god damn computer. It makes me look like a bigger asshole than before, but at least I get to skip all the bullshit argueing.Last edited by CyberHustler; 03-23-2009, 08:55 AM.“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket.

I had a problem with this when I first started doing this full time. I had a friend who called me up one day and told me he had to work late and so did his wife and asked if I could go over to their house and meet his son when he gets off the bus from school and hang with him for an hour or so until one of them get home. No problem. I am always happy to help a friend. Well, this quickly turned from being a one time favor to something they wanted me to do 3-4 times a week. I also had other friends calling to ask if I could do this or that for them while they were at work. Finally when I said I just couldn't they said, "But you don't have a real job." I had to explain that I put in more hours than most of them do at their jobs and if I take 3 hours out of my day every day to watch their kids that is 3 more hours I have to work that night. Finally we had a talk and I explained I am happy to help people, as long as it isn't something that happens every day or all the time because I need to work.
Eventually we came a pretty good understanding and they came to realize that contrary to popular belief I have shit to do and work hard. )Comment

I can agree with all of the above. I also find it some what entertaining when people presume that because I work from home I must watch tv all day. LOL
Thing for me is I work in complete silence as noise disturbs my concentration so for all those ppl out there who think that I watch Tyra and Oprah.....WRONG! LMAOComment

Worst line I get a lot is
"Hey dude lets go play a round of golf!"
If my buddies that work "real jobs" get the luxury of having a nice day off, they know they can call and ask me to play as I have "nothing to do". I know I could just turn the offer down, but turning down a round of golf is near impossible. Golf is usually then followed up with a trip to the bar, and then sure enough the entire day is gone!
It also starts to hurt the bank doing this 3-5 times a week!Comment

I hate the people who feel like they can just do the unannounced pop-in just because you're home. Also, people feel like they can just setup times at any time of day to get together like you're schedule is wide open. I think most people who work from home probably put in moe hours than the 9-5ers.Comment

People who don't work at home assume that people who work at home don't work much if at all when in fact they work more than people who work in office and don't have the luxury of "leaving work at the office". Especially if things are going rough when you don't have the luxury of a fixed amount paycheck, however small it would have been.
And yea, most of the people in my life assumed I would have more free time when I quit my job and it was tough getting them to realize that I really don't, but I think they've finally figured it out after a year and a half.Last edited by PornMD; 03-23-2009, 02:29 PM.Want to crush it in mainstream with Facebook ads?

In most people's lives work and home are so separate they have great difficulty understanding the concept of working from home. To them if you're at home there's no way you can REALLY be at work.Unvaxxed, still alive.Comment

This seems like a pretty common thing.
I sometimes got the impressions others were just jealous and wanted to purposely screw my work up.
If they are jealous cause they work real jobs, they have no problem screwing you're job up to force u to get a real job and bring you to their level.
It's sad when people that should be happy for you, instead are jealous and would rather see you fail so that you're at their level.
I always found it super distasteful when this came from family. Instead of family being happy for you, they are jealous and want to see you fail so they feel better about themselves.Comment

People in my family had me babysit every monday all day from 10AM to 6:30PM because I was home.
I couldnt do 5 seconds of work i had to entertain him around all day, take him to the park, feed him, play tag, out for games cuz he gets bored easily. No money of course, family obligation.
This lasted for 6 months then they started asking for Fridays too.
I put a stop to it, and when I did it caused a huge family blowup where *I* was the asshole.
grrrr, fuck them.Last edited by Guest; 03-23-2009, 03:06 PM.Comment

But......but.......but what's the point of being your own boss and working from home if you're not willing to use your freedom and flexibility to help your friends and family?
You sure are stuck up nowsig too bigComment

mmm I think people imagine or have this concept that when you work from home you have basically no obligations and pay no heed to anyone other than yourself... many may consider working from home as "true freedom" ... but that is overrated or maybe even misunderstood ....
The only way I would kick around and not care about business is if I was making big money (50k+ a month at least) ... and even then I am sure I would be juicing it as much as I can and not taking even 5 mins off.....
I work full-time from home and I understand all this bullshit...

My favorite was when I left my last job to do this full time one of the guys I worked with comes over to me and is talking to me about it. He says, "So how about sliding me some money?" I say, "For what?" He says, "because we are friends." I say, "Tell me this, when you get off work what do you do in the afternoon/evening? Do you watch TV, hang with friends, read?" He tells me about how he watched tv shows and movies, he reads a little. He goes to the elks lodge and plays cards and has an all around happy home life. I then say, "That sounds nice. Me? I got home and work for 8-10 hours and I have been doing just that every day for the last 9 months. While you play cards and watch TV, I am working. While you watch a movie or read a magazine, I am working." He just says, "Oh, I didn't realize it was that hard. . . does this mean you won't give me any money?"
It was classic.Comment
