vpn and working from home

...kind of fun, and kind of repetitive.

Mostly, logging into my work desktop is surreal and still novel enough that I enjoy doing it. It's also a little dangerous, since I'm anal enough that sometimes bringing work home is really tempting.

Of course, I'm on my third day of VPNing and I think I've doubled my week hours, not including the overtime I did yesterday at the office, then came home and logged back in until midnight.

Currently finishing up leftover testing. As I have been since noon. Its possible if you see me tonight, I will still be doing this. God, my life.

Oh, snap! Since last week, for the first time, I can also log in to my work desktop from home. Surreal, definitely. I keep doing it, just because I can. ;)

Huh. So, you're overtime exempt? Also, yes, working at home can be very, very nice.

I have deep affection for our VPN. Since our business unit has decided that we don't really need an office of our own in 2011, I'll be depending on it for all access to our corporate accounting system and file servers while we're housed at a (very uptight) customer site.

Remind me again why I need to get dressed in business formal and drive to some office every day, when I can stay home in jeans with the good coffee and do the same job?

... huh. VPN is a remote-access thing? I thought it was a wireless network security program (it's what my university uses to protect its on-campus wireless network).

I'm sorry you have to work so much overtime; hopefully your bosses, if they can't reward you with overtime pay, at least say thank you (with baked goods if possible)!
