Work From Home?

[ClubMed]

If you are one of the following don't post here:

1. Self employed.
2. Web-designer or something to do with multi-media.

Now to the others:

Have you ever had a job where you could work from home?

I'm just wondering what kind of jobs these would be and how it's set up.

Thanks .
CM.

I am a Network Engineer and can work from home up to 2 days a week. All it requires is being able to check email, and get into the switches, routers and firewalls. Oh yeah and an instant messaging program of some kind. It had reduced my commuting costs as well as increased my company loyalty

I'm working from home right now. Well, I was until I opened TechIMO.


I'm accessing a Terminal Server over the Internet to do some work. Normally I work on site but, my wife is sick so I'm home with here (she's sleeping now).

I don't work from home but I am working on it. Our company uses Nortel VPN for access, some use dial-up but that will be going away in the future. I could do my job from home maybe coming into the office once a week. I mostly do product support, mostly dealing with problems through e-mail and everything I access I could access from my house. If I get called at night I have to log in anyway so why not work from home

I don't, but the EPA has a fair number of people who do work at home: some with asthma or multiple chemical sensitivities, some partially disabled, some just for convenience. Lotus Notes Remote can be installed on a home PC with not too much difficulty and can connect either via dialup or through an ISP. It's not secure enough for dealing with Confidential Business Information, though, so people don't do that from home over the wires. They can take CBI home if they have approved storage there, but it's very unusual.

We're not well set up for teleconferencing on a routine basis.

Remote admin tasks are quite easy for network admin duties.. although there are those pesky times where you have to reach over and kick it
Hell here at work we can even kick it from remote
There for a awhile we had a lot of people "sick" and "working from home" ... it was getting a little crazy so the lords upon high said stop that SH..err stuff lol
So we're not allowed to anymore!
