WFH... how cool is that?! :D

Hayyyy I am so loving my work right now. Yesterday I woke up at my usual schedule of 10 in the morning, ate breakfast, chat with mama for a while while watching Wu Chun in DVD... Then I took a bath, started to get dressed and while I'm still not done getting ready for work, it started to rain!! Thanks to the wonderful world of technology, I was able to log into our office network. So I texted my boss saying I'll just wait until the rain stops before heading to work but that I'm logged in the network anyway.

And so I did start working from home. Read a few emails, sent my replies... worked on my existing projects and chatted with colleagues thru sametime. After maybe two hours and still the rain outside doesn't seem like it will stop... my boss went online in sametime as well. And he told me that looks like traffic is unbearable in Makati because of the rain. He said "Don't go in na lang." I said, "well, hopefully the rain stops." He said even if I leave house for office I'd be stuck in traffic anyway..." So I said "so, can I work from home today?" He said, "sure, ok lang."

Hahaha! How cool is that?!

And work from home I did. Hay, I was logged in from 1:30pm and logged out at 2 in the morning! So parang I was in the office lang?!

Naaaahhhh!! Of course it was different. Hahaha... I had the bragging rights and pleasure of teasing my close friends that while they had to endure the long hours of travelling to work because of traffic and while they had to bear with wet clothes... I was completely dry and warm and in my bed! (*evil laugh*)

Sometimes I'm still amazed on how technology works... Ang galing... I actually have a scheduled conference call to attend that night. Arrrghhhh.. Pano na yun? This is where Sandy's expertise with telephony comes in. Ahahaha! He patched me up in my call at 9pm. Just imagine, I'm home, in an average apartment in Makati... with my PJs at this time... But here I was taking part in a call with colleagues from Easton office, Polaris office and I think even Tampa office!

Again, how cool is that?!

Actually I think I was able to do more at home than I did at the office... Oh well, at least for the first six hours anyway. Kasi when the clock hit 9pm, most of my officemates are there na in the office. So ayun, hahaha... I stopped working and starting chatting na lang via sametime. Eh kasi for some reason, looks like they don't have much to do anyway so ayun. Hahaha.. Chat galore :D

"Work from home" Hmmm.. First time :D

I love it.I love my laptop, I love my VPN token and I love my internet!!!

I hope it rains all the time!!!

Just kidding :)
