work from home

the greatest (or worst) blessing that i have is to be working in a world class MNC which promotes work-life balance. as such, i enjoy tremendous flexibility in my working style, environment, etc. 

but the thing is, work-life balance is promoted in the organisation, but not really in my department. we used to be able to work 1 day from home a week. ever since the majority of our customers shifted to the Asia Pacific region, there is not much reason for late night working and hence the justification to work from home (WFH) the next day.

and so, i decided to test the system again today. not that i juz wanna try to be funny and to ''go as close to the line as possible without stepping on it or crossing it" (quoted from my discipline master about me back in Secondary school days).

genuinely, i appreciate such arrangements. that would mean: 

1. i would have more time (even that 1 hour of traveling time saved counts!) for me to spend time with my baby! 
2. i save $2 on transport a day (if i take the train that is).
3. my makeup collection lasts longer.
4. i dun have to fret about wat to wear and what not to wear.
5. i can enjoy my Class 95 in the background while working.
6. i can eat instant noodles for lunch. yes, that's my comfort food and i can eat instant noodles, anytime.
7. i can sneak an hour of power nap during lunch time! in this time and age where sleep is a luxury, any 40 winks is vital to maintain my bodily functions.

but then again, for the boss, WFH means:

1. she can't keep track of me and what i am doing... which is not true! unless you tell me the amount of work i do is measured by the amount of emails i send. if not how to keep track! anyway if you're expected to answer phone calls faster than u say ''hello'', working in the office will still mean i'm too s.l.o.w...
2. it's troublesome for the rest of the staff, eg if they were to look for me, etc.etc. well, the rest of the staff dun look for me half the time, what trouble is there?
3. it's unfair for the rest of the staff who do not WFH. erm, then juz let everyone WFH la. i'm sure they will not reject such kind gesture.

 so here am i, working from home today. hopefully everything turns out fine. *keeping fingers crossed*
