Hi Buttercup, I've just joined SS today. I don't work from home but only work 3 days now, I keep working because I think I would become a bit insular if I didn't, I enjoy the interaction with my colleagues, even though some of them are really irritating Having said that I sometimes wish I had more days to do the things I enjoy but there are weeks when I just want a day at home to catch up. Why is it that if I get invites they all fall on the same day?
What work are you doing from home?

To be honest Primate I'm finding it a bit difficult to navigate my way around here which is embarrassing as work a lot with IT. Somebody answered one of my posts but I can only see the answer and can't remember what I posted!

Hi & welcome. I've never worked from home so I can't imagine what it's like but am not surprised you find it isolating, altho I find offices can also be lonely places even when they're full of people.

Hi Buttercup58, I am getting ready to leave the corporate work force and work from home myself. I am very much looking forward to the quiet environment but will also have the opportunity to meet individuals interested in the accounting services that I will be offering. I would be glad to chat with you and keep you company.

G'day Buttercup58. I have also just joined, so I thought I'd say "hi" or "g'day" as we say down under! I understand your feeling of isolation due to working from home because I used to as well. Now, however, I'm agoraphobic (or 'agro-phobic'!) so don't go out much anyway!

We're obviously in different time zones, but I hope to hear from you anyway.

Cheers,
Ding
