I am now working from home, with a select group of clients who actually appreciate the work I do. Sure, I won't see the sort of dollars I did as a principal of a good sized firm, but I get to:
Walk away from the PC when I feel like it;
Do some gardening if it takes my fancy;
Play with the girls (and the pool has been great fun the last few days);
Log onto AP anytime I feel like it without answering to f*ucking admin employees of mine asking why I'm not working;
Not have my email vetted by people I paid to work for me;
Play a game of pinball just because the games are three feet away;
Sit and chat with my beautiful wife whenever either of us feels the urge;
Have as many coffee breaks as my caffeine levels will allow!
Balanced against the former dollars, all I can see is I'm miles ahead! (Might feel different if the cash flow slows too much! :)
