Winter is continuing to hit us hard, although today is a rare work from home day without much snow on the ground. Last Friday I made plans to be able to work from home in the event that schools were cancelled today (Monday). While we continued to see that the snow would miss us (unlike northwestern Ohio) the temperature predictions had us see single to below zero regular temps with well into double digit negative temps with wind chills factored in.
I do not normally get to work from home. It is just something that my office doesn't allow for normal circumstances. However, with special permission we can on a limited basis. So today, I got to get up, put sweats on and sit down in our home office to begin my day.
The one thing I noticed was that I had fewer distractions here than I do in the office. And that's even with an 8-year old in the house. No one walking by or wanting to talk. No phones ringing. While I don't think that I would want to do this full-time, I am grateful for the opportunity to still work while being there for my son.
Now tomorrow is going to be another story as we are expecting cold temps again. But I will trudge into work. I might cheat a bit and pay to park close to the building though. Just can't see walking in with the really cold temperatures.
