on Feb 1st, 2010Today is Working Naked Day.
Today is Working Naked Day. No it’s not what you think. Today is dedicated to those of us who are working from home “naked”— stripped of the resources that millions take for granted in the traditional corporate workplace. Things like a never-empty coffee pot, a cafeteria and, most important, social interaction with colleagues.
That’s probably what I missed most when I decided to go solo as a consultant and work out of my house. Not that there aren’t perks to offset what you’ve lost: the ten step commute to my office down the hall, going to work in my jammies if I feel like it (though I never do), getting the laundry done during “coffee breaks.” And, of course, the luxury being able to work on my murder mystery when nothing of a more lucrative nature is in the queue.
So, for all of you who work naked, have a happy day. And check out the website dedicated to our fellow/sisterhood: http://www.workingnaked.net. They have some pretty good ideas for improving your website, if you’re at a loss for something to do during your solitary lunch break.
