Date: May 21st, 2013 2:36 PM Author: comical puce home No, it's not. It still has the same problems associated with modern life -- feeling like you constantly need to be in front of comp, check e-mails, doing work, but end up just wasting a vast amount of time doing dumb shit on the Internet, just like I would if I were at the office.
But it's still definitely better than going into the office. Don't waste hours a day commuting. Can go do random shit during the day. Ultimate flexibility. |

Date: May 21st, 2013 2:56 PM Author: comical puce home lol if you think there is much 'mingling' in the typical law office. even when you are at the office you end up just e-mailing and calling people most of the time. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2261633&forum_id=2#23242759) |

Date: May 21st, 2013 2:58 PM Author: electric carmine ratface I do this once every 2 weeks in BIG FED. I always pick a Friday. Usually can fit a "training" into another Friday afternoon and it means I rarely "work" more than more than one friday a month.

Date: May 21st, 2013 3:00 PM Author: comical puce home Nice bro. I was offered a bigfed gig in a really shitty department and I remember the selling point was you could work from home 3 days a week after a year or some shit.

Date: May 21st, 2013 3:01 PM Author: electric carmine ratface It's got ups and downs. I try not to abuse work from home because I do legitimately want to have a career. You'll never get promoted if you're not involved heavily with the day-to-day shit. It's just nice to have in my back pocket.

Date: May 21st, 2013 3:04 PM Author: electric carmine ratface Sort of, but they can always *make* a job for you. I'm a GS-13 and the only way I will get into a 14/15 job in the next few years is if our office director decides to request another 14/15 position.
These boomers sitting in the 14/15 jobs are late 50s and going absolutely fucking nowhere in the next 10 years (cop dat pension at 65).
Hence, having a good personal relationship with the director is important. Working at home 2/month is NBD, I don't even think they notice, but I am so fucking life pwned if I don't get into a more senior level job before my early 30s. |

Date: May 21st, 2013 3:01 PM Author: comical puce home I'm seriously considering golfing once a week. Just find a cheap $10 per 9 course and roll out solo. Get a quick 9 in before 10 a.m. and be back with no one the wiser. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2261633&forum_id=2#23242793) |
