Its different

So it was my first day. Working from home feels 'different'. Woke up aaraam se at 8. Got ready by 9. Remotely logged into my office m/c. Worked till 11. Then had a sumptuous lunch. Didnt feel like sitting at home any more. Came down to office at 12:30. Rest as usual.

How it was different:
*No frustrating/abusive attempts to kick-start/electronically-start my huge bike at 7:30 in the morn. Soemhow this mountain of a machine refuses to start for any less attempts than a dozen.
*No full-time-pass(ftp) early in the morning in the office cafeteria, waiting for my 'sweetheart's' face-darshanam ;-)
*No post-cafeteria-ftp ftp in the third floor pantry. again the same leitmotif there.
*Minimal clothing gives me maximum pleasure and whats better than chaDDi-banyan at home!
*But nobody to talk to, besides mom and rudramma, my maid :-(
*Lunch!
*Helmet and overcoat at noon. That hurts :-/
*I actually worked!! Cant find a bigger difference.

Gotta see whats in stake for the morning to follow.

Work from home.. work at office also

Ok. So finally its kicked off. This TransTII thingy. Now I can start working from home. Atleast thats what it promises.
What with my new ACER 1641 laptop, a decent 256kbps Broadband connection, I guess I can become a rare sight at office. Hell no! I just heard about this core hours funda. Gotta be present in the office from 10:30 to 5 every day.
Aha! Now I get the cruz of it all. All it says is the remaining seventeen and half hours I SHOULD work from home. Guess the concept of weekend will soon be a thing of the past.What the!!
