Having a bad boss can make any job lousy. That’s just one more motivation to work at home, to get away from a rotten boss and poisonous office politics. I love freelancing from home. I never want to work in an office again.

Interesting blog. I predict that in the future, a lot more jobs will allow people to work from home because it lets companies have smaller, less expensive offices and less infrastructure. Telecommuting is on the cutting edge of modern business.

One of the best investments I ever made as a tech writer was a laptop with a wireless card. Having that little beauty lets me work anywhere there’s wireless access. I’ve done some of my best work at Starbuck’s. Of course now I’m a total java junkie, but oh, well.

This blogger’s post points out one big problem with being a tech writer. If your boss is a jerk, he or she may not understand how valuable you are to the company and won’t appreciate what you do enough to pay you well or give you raises.

Technical writing really should be done at home, where it’s quiet and you have a minimum of distractions. The only time I ever go to the office is for meetings, and then I get the heck out.

I like working at home, but in some ways it demands more discipline than working in an office. You have to be sure to maintain a steady output and it’s pretty easy to get distracted with housework or a phone call from a friend, or just surfing the Net.

This blogger’s right. Working from home totally rocks! If you can land a gig like tech writing or editing that you can do from home, you’re really fortunate. You save a ton of money on gas, and you don’t have to get dressed up to work at home.
