Day 8: A Flexible Schedule

For the last few years, I have had the luxury of working in a place that respects the amount of work and dedication I put into my job.  Without going into too many specifics, much of what I do requires me to be on a computer all day and, as long as I have a reliable internet connection and a phone, I could pretty much work from anywhere.  Because of this, I have had the flexibility to work from wherever I need to.

Now, out of complete respect, I try not to abuse this.  I usually get up early, get to the office shortly after 6 a.m. and put in the required time in my gopher-farm cube.  But there are some days, like today, when I just really need to be at home.  Sometimes it's to stay with my sick husband, sometimes to take care of appointments, and sometimes just for pure mental sanity.

So for today, and many other days like it, I am thankful that I have a job and a boss that allow me a flexible schedule.
