9.Have you ever heard about teleworking?It means working from a distance,in other words,not working in an office but working at home.You use the computer and the Internet to keep in contact with your boss,working in the comfort of your own home.
The theory sounds fine,doesn't it?Why travel to work every day when you can be lined by modem?You can do all your research on the World Wide Web,and send in all your work by e-mail.Well,that's exactly what my boss said to me two years ago."Jenny,how would you like to work at home?"he said…
At first everything was fantastic.It was really good being at home,too.I didn't have to waste any time travelling,and I could stop and make myself a cup of coffee or a sandwich if I wanted to--I was totally free,and first totally happy.
But then things started to change.I put on weight,because I wasn't going out as much as I had before.I stopped wearing smart dresses,because a jogging suit and trainers were so much more comfortable.My friends stopped telephoning because I didn't meet them on the bus or in the cafe.I started talking to cat.
It was when I realized that I was looking forward to chatting with the postman that I knew something had to change.I needed to get back out into the world.So I phoned my boss:"Please let me come back to the office--I'm going mad on my own."
And thank goodness,he did.If you want my personal opinion,teleworking may catch on in the future….but not for me.
