Working from home: dream versus reality

Working from home.....

The dream: Tapping happily on my keyboard in my luxurious feng shui design office, sun shining through the window, the sounds of children's laughter and birds chirping outside, the deep satisfaction of a job well done warming my soul. Life is beautiful.

The reality: Jesus Christ it's 10pm and I still haven't even started this piece of crap work. Oh god oh god oh god. I hate my fucking life. Panic panic panic. Right, settle down now, focus. Move the dirty plates, mugs, school bag, books, eye liner, dog lead out of the way. Clean up the split gravy. Make a 2 foot space for the laptop. Plug it in. Okay, just check Facebook once. Right, ok, settle down, work. Hmmm, just one coffee and then knuckle down. Okay okay. It's now 11pm. I'm officially having a nervous breakdown. Why in the name of christ don't I have a normal job? I'll never get this done. I'll be up all night. Oh god help. Could I pretend I was knocked down? Maybe I'll say my computer exploded? No no. Can't. I used those excuses before. Okay, work, focus. Hang on, haven't checked Facebook in 2 minutes. Right, grand. No more Facebook. Oh jesus. It's 11.15. Help. My life is over..........

12:31am. All done. Yay. Another successful freelancing project. Not a bother on me.
