There is no such thing as w0rking at h0me.
Really. It doesn't exist. It's not possible. And who are you kidding anyway?
Says who?, you ask?? Just Everybody.
You know Everybody...as in "Everybody says..."
Everybody knows you watch game shows and soap operas all day.
Everybody's sure you can handle this errand. After all, what are you doing that's so important?
Everybody's so glad you're at h0me...would you watch little Daemon for a few hours?
Everybody gets a good laugh at this
"w0rk-at-h0me" thing, because Everybody will tell you that Everybody
has to work for a living. By the way, when are you getting a *real*
job?)
Nosirree, no such thing...Instead, there's...Slavery-at-home.
Forget what they say about Lincoln.
Who gets the grocery list, picks up the kids, drops off the dry
cleaning and prepares a sumptuous meal replete with exquisite
delicacies, a breathtaking sensual delight?
Oh, okay...but who opens those cans???
And all at the same time, you have those
annoying, trivial "w0rk-at-h0me" details...Scheduling appointments,
meeting with clients (on and/or offline!), answering e-mails,
processing orders, conducting marketing campaigns, toting barges,
lifting bales...
No, my friend, this "w0rk-at-h0me" fantasy
is only a dream. How, in reality, can someone rise in the morning and
not jet off to a forced enclosure where you are carefully guarded and
scrutinized by "b0sses" and "superiors" who zealously hoard the money
you earn and pay a position (not you!) what they determine it to be
worth.
How, in reality, can someone enjoy a
moment of reflection, introspection or distraction that is not rigidly
scheduled and officially ordained, where your "co-workers" labor,
hurriedly assigned without regard to their interests or desires?
How, in reality, can someone enjoy the
comforts of their own home in a place uniquely theirs and a destiny
they create and *not* embark on a crowded, frustrating, lengthy and
perilous trek to and from this foreign place where, despite their
diligence and loyalty, they can find themselves cast out by authorities
unseen and unknown through no fault of their own?
(Oops! Fell off my soapbox...Insert your favorite dream here.)
Nosirree, w0rking at h0me is a liberating,
self-actualizing, creatively fulfilling, ultimately challenging and
supremely rewarding dream. But, you know...dreams aren't for Everybody.
