[Vision2020] work from home

[Scott Dredge]

My opinion is that if a job is allowed to be performed out of the home, it's not much of a stretch for that same job to be performed from the ballpark?  And yet Safeco Field still does not offer free WiFi.  This is an outrage!

For some of us, the internet is a convenient way to share a joke or stay in touch with family and friends.

 

For others, it is their livelihood and they can go to work in their jammies if they wish. But it does take a motivated self-starter, like I said before.

 

Both of my oldest step kids show up to work in their jammies and it's working out very well for them.  They work for someone, but that someone is not standing over them with a physical presence.  

 

My youngest took it a step further and became his own boss.  He's a whiz at getting you a website up and running complete with a working shopping cart if you so desire. He'll design you a logo,  create a t-shirt and matching hat for each of your employees, get you business cards, tri-fold brochures. . . you name it.   He's a print broker and 99% of his clients he's never laid eyes on.   His "office hours" are 11:00 a.m. til 6:00 p.m.  Being his mom, I thought 11:00 a.m. was because he wanted to "sleep in" on work days.  Imagine my surprise when the phone started ringing off the hook at 8:00 a.m. and woke me up when I was visiting him!  Then, imagine my consternation when my kid looked at me in shock and said "but, mom! It's already 11:00 on the east coast!"

 

My kids utilize the internet to it's fullest and the way it is intended.  Me, I'm just surprised and happy my e-mail works.
