The Hazards of Working from Home: Dinosaurs, Monster Trucks and Socks

I need one of these signs for my office. Of course, I’m not sure I’d ever get to put a number on the bottom.

Since I work from home, it’s not unusual to step on a dinosaur or two during my short walk from the living room to the office.

If it’s not a dinosaur, it’s a monster truck, plane or Hess truck.

Sometimes, it’s a stray lego or a lost sock.

These are the hazards of working from home. I guess it could be worse.

I love the fact that I get to make my own hours, drive my son to school every day and pick him up at the school bus stop. I can wear jeans or sweat pants and don’t have to worry about the annual anti-sexual harrassment training from HR.

While it can get lonely sometimes, I don’t have to go far to find people with whom I can interact. Living in a downtown area means there’s lots of stuff going on at all times.

Of course, who would get bored with all the dinosaurs roaming my house?

Do you work from home? What workplace hazards do you contend with?

    Currently, I have a sidekick who needs me about every 30 seconds. So while it’s not a hazard, per se, it’s disruptive! It’s a hazard to my brain. 1.5 hours til baby sitter arrives!!

      Sidekicks can be troublesome, even if they are cute!
