[QUOTE=1920s Style “Death Ray”]  
For those who work at home, how do you find it? Do you have difficulty seperating home life from work life? Do you work on your days off because it is there and needs to be done? Do you skive off when you should be working?  
[/QUOTE]

It’s OK. Sometimes I work when I could be playing, sometimes I play when I could be working. It’s not difficult separating work & home life, but they’re intermixed more than they used to be. Like just now, when I had to tell the kids to get downstairs so I can dial into a call.

Oh, and you really floored me there **jayjay**. Many obscure reference points for you. (Unfortunately, the bitchknocker in that story has really failed her way up – she’s now my boss’ boss’ boss. Of course, that means she really doesn’t have time to directly piss me off anymore)

Heh! I’m an (occasionally overboard) Office Plant Person. I remember those sorts of threads for a long time…

That wasn’t intolerance - I don’t care if you leave your back hair untied! But I’ve made a mental note not to go to the beach with you… 😛
