I was given the opportunity for a job that support working from home. I work from a laptop everyday - my job as a secretary working from home i liase with colleuges through e-mail or phone if required. With a young family, mortgage etc, it was a fantastic opportunity as we had more income and less outgoing in particular child care and petrol thus more favourable then going back to work full time at the office. The choice of hours that I worked, be able to take my children to school and pick them up and not worrying about the school holidays is perfect. For me not having face/social interaction with collegues is not a problem however, I travel up to Christchurch once a week/fortnight to complete work as required up there. Where my family is now, working from home is favourable for us and i am enjoying it!
