I have had a lot of opportunity to work at home in my various jobs,
and in general I don't like it. One of the big attractions of work
is the social aspect of it, called 'schmoozing' by one psychologist.
After I have worked at home for a few days, I start to feel like a
mole. It is a mystery to me how women have managed to stay home with
the kids all these years; it would make you crazy. Come to think of
it, that is what happened to my mother. (Please, let's not start
some side issue on women staying home...I think they ought to be
able to work, if they want to...)

On the other hand, I still work at home from time to time because I
am so much more productive. I can do eight hours of work in three,
because there is no one with whom to schmooze.

My experience with employers is that while most of them say you are
free to set your own hours, work at home, etc, they don't really
mean it. First time your boss needs you in a hurry and you did not
come in that day, you get the little speech about what's good for
your career, etc...
