Really Amazing Working Experience
So I've been working at home this weekend, and I have to say, it's an amazing experience. I can take a little time Saturday morning and fix up a new data import table for the business user and not sweat about it Monday morning. Liza and the kids are asleep, and I'm awake, and after a nice bowl of Raisin Bran, I can work for an hour and get some stuff done without having to worry about what I'm missing with the family, or making someone angry that I'm too involved with work.
I can pop open the laptop, write a little code, do a little magic, check it in, do a run, and then call it done. That's pretty sweet!
This is what I'd hoped for when I thought about developing. Something as effortless as just doing the work. Work a little when you have the time, and then during the week, pound out some major hours. But always be flexible enough to take a trip to the grocery store if needed.
When I think of the joys of self-employment, that's it. If I could do that with the place I am now, I'm not sure I'd ever leave. Ever.
It's just that great to me.
