      <title>Yet Another Good Reason to Work From Home</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
I was reading this &lt;a href="http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2006/02/brain_death_by_.html"&gt;article on Creating Passionate Users&lt;/a&gt;, and I realized that this was yet another good reason to work from home rather than to work from the office.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
At work, all of the offices look the same. Even those with windows. Sure, people do decorate their offices, but there is a not too much that can be done to create a playful environment to stimulate the brain.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
At home, I create a stimulating environment by listening to music, have some toys around or even repaint my home office with no complaints from
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;facilities&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;co-workers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;management&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;
It's my house after all, and I can do almost anything I want with it.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Quite often, I would feel like I was caged in while working in my assigned office. I could look across the aisle and see an identical office to mine. Granted, I shouldn't complain too much since I had an actual office with a sliding door to muffle the noises. Still, it wasn't the most stimulating environment around. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Working from home is great :)
&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>Hey FJ!

I was just surfing Technorati.com and your blog came up in the Featured Blog link... the nitrozac'd picture of you. Very cool. 

small Internet isn't it! :-)

Working from home is great, except it's a LOT easier to procrastinate and on the flip side, a LOT easier to overwork too.  :D</description>
