I started working from home

If you're talking about the usual sense, I worked out of a home office for 10 years while I was doing real estate inspections.

The company I worked for was headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, my District Manager was in Minneapolis, MN, and I was here in Nebraska doing what my computer told me to do. Inspections to be done were posted on my computer, reports were submitted online, etc. I'd spend a couple of days on the road doing inspections, and then spend a day or so in my home office doing reports and other paperwork. My sole contact with the company was by computer. I only met my District Manager and other company executives a few times at seminars and training sessions.

It was OK when I started and my wife was still working. I had the house to myself when I worked in my office. After she retired, she drove me nuts. She never had a job that required her to use a computer on the job, so she didn't look at working at a computer as actually 'working'. I could be totally wrapped up on my computer trying to get a footprint of a building worked out, or something similar, and she would walk into my office, plop down in a chair, and start talking about remodeling one of the bathrooms, or something.

But, I survived, although working from home is not for everyone.
 
Yeah,, it doesnt always work out.

I tried to be a stay at home astronaut, but I never got it off the ground.

Then I switched to a butterfly therapist, but that ended up being too flighty.
