Technically, I work from home :) In reality, I often have to go in to
the office (last few weeks it's been every day) because as others have
suggested, there are still things that need doing in person - and
besides, I like to at least look as if I'm doing something useful.

Yesterday was another 15 hour day so today I had extra sleep, did a
little admin from home and am about to go in to the office for an
all-nighter, suits me, I prefer working at night when I can play loud
cheesy music and get on.

Term time is fun though, I work remotely using ssh, occasional X exports
and vnc when really needed. Still, sometimes you have to go in -
especially when ``the printer isn't working'' and you just know it's the
end of the world :P
