Idolize Cole Hamels

You can take a few hours to just idolize Cole Hamels and the rest of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Prepare for the next two upcoming games this weekend in the NLDS that will simply be amazing.

I'm pretty sure it hasn't happened yet but they may just pitch 4 perfect games in a row to win the series.

Watch Primer 3 Times

2010-10-15T13:41:00.000-07:00

Something that will consume the entire work day is watching and trying to comprehend the movie Primer. Primer is a movie that came out in 2004 and is about time travel? Honestly, I have no idea what it's about and have seen it several times back to back. I can run through the plot and it still would not give away any spoilers.

Basically these guys make a machine or microwave or something and I think one of them goes back in time? Maybe they both go back in time or something. They're driving in a car at one point. The one guy is married and has a house and stuff and there is a cell phone involved as well. Then it just kind of ends abruptly. I think they try to explain what's going on near the end or maybe not.

Either way, I think it was a pretty good movie and wouldn't mind seeing it again.

"Working" From Home

2010-09-29T11:42:00.000-07:00

While it may not be that ethical to do things other than work while at home, they really aren't paying you that much anyway so the hell with them.

Here are some things you can do while "working" from home:

Go to the driving range
Play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Play Mario Kart
Drink
Play frisbee
Blog about working from home
Stalk on Facebook
Get lost on Wikipedia for hours
Make a big pot of chili
Go shopping

Remember that during all of this do not forget to wiggle your mouse every once in a while so you don't go idle.

The Workstation

2010-09-29T11:39:00.000-07:00

Your workstation when you work from home can consist of, pretty much, anywhere you can sit with your laptop.

Here is a list of some places I've worked from whilst working from home:

A giant bean bag chair
A cluttered desk
A hammock
A beach chair on the beach
Couch
The floor

The Commute

2010-09-29T11:36:00.001-07:00

Since there is no commute when you work from home, on average, you will save close to $20,000 per year.

The downside is that you miss out on the road rage that occurs every morning. Some will say this is a good thing, but nothing gets me fired up for the start of the day other than an 80 year old woman flipping me off and trying to run me off of the road.

The Work From Home Office Romance

2010-09-29T11:35:00.001-07:00

Masturbating does not count as an "Office Romance".

Dress Code

2010-09-29T11:31:00.000-07:00

If you have ever worked in an office where there was a strict dress code you would love working from home.

Unless you impose a dress code on yourself you can wear whatever you want. Pending your roommate is ok with it.

For instance, today I am wearing boardshorts and no shirt. Not on principal, I just forgot to put on a shirt and am gonna roll with it.

Working From Home

This blog is dedicated to all the hard working people in America who are fortunate enough to have a job that does not require them to go into the office. Sure the lack of social interaction may be a small downside but there are many upsides to working from home.
