| I: Ok, Michela. You work from home now. Can you tell me about a typical day? | |
| M: Sure, I always get up around seven and the first thing I do is get the kids ready for school. I take them at eight thirty and then I always start work at nine. | |
| I: Do you ever have a day where you decide to have the morning off and start work later? | |
| M: No,you can't do that. It's important with home-working to have a timetable and stick to it. If you end up watching TV or doing the cleaning then it isn't for you. So I have lunch at 12 and finish work at 2:30 to get the children. | |
| I: Was that why you gave up your office job? | |
| M: Yes, I wanted to spend more time with the children. It gives me more flexibility. Sometimes I need to work in the evening but usually it isn't a problem. | |
| I: So how long have you been doing this kind of work? | |
| M: For about five years. | |
| I: So your employer doesn't mind. | |
| M: No. It means the company saves money on office space and as long as I get the work done, they're happy. Sometimes I still go into work to meet clients and so on. For example, I'm going in nearly every day this week because we have visitors from another company and I can't really invite them over to my house. Besides, it's nice to go in every so often. I like to see people and catch up on the gossip and the news with my colleagues. I miss that side of going into work every day. | |
| I: Is there anything else you miss? | |
| M:Ermm,no, not really. And I'll tell you what I really don't miss and that's having to spend two hours commuting on the bus and train every day.... |
