Virtual Commute

It’s official, I’ve started working from home on a permanent basis. While I never thought telecommuting would work for me, I’ve been trying it out in the weeks since Ella’s birth and it has worked very well. Basically I just lock myself in my office and the kids leave me alone, except for the occasional visit from Sam. The IP software we use allows me to connect to the ADP network and login to our phone support queue. This routes calls to my home phone and also routes calls from my phone through the ADP switchboard. This means I don’t have to worry about expensing long distance…because there isn’t any. This saves over an hour a day in commute time, not too mention $20-$30 a week in gas. In the words of Napoleon’s brother, Kip, [singing] “Iiiiii love technologeeeeeeeee…”
