For at least a couple months. They approved my work from home application! 2 days next week since I’m on vacation starting Friday. Once I’m back to work it’s 4 days a week from my comfy basement office and only one day a week of commuting. SO FREAKING HAPPY! ---

Yay! Working from home is awesome! I got to work from home for about six months a year for the past two years, and right now I’m waiting to see if they’ll let me work remote again starting 8/1 (and if they do, it’s possible I won’t have to go back to the office until next May).
