I usually arrive around 7:30 am and work until at least 4 pm, but depending upon the situation it can be 6 or 7 pm.

Given that it's 5 a.m., there's no traffic. The commute isn't so bad.

No set hours - just get the job done. Most folks I support are on the east coast, so I usually start and end early - say 6:30 to 3:00. The lack of a commute helps me - and being home-based, I can unplug in the middle of the day if circumstances permit. But along with that comes late nights and weekends when the situation calls for it.

Best thing is the flexibility - when I'm in St Louis in a couple of weeks, I work from my mom's house, so no vacation time is used up. Nobody cares where I am so long as things are handled.

Long time ago I did work 3rd shift for almost 2 years. It worked out ok because I went to grad school during that time, and things on 3rd shift were either really quiet or a three-alarm fire where nobody else was around. 90% of the nights were quiet, and I got alot of school work done during those times.

Now I just get in when I get in, and leave when I leave.

What were you thinking? You knew better than to take a job like that. You should have Leroy call and straighten this out.
OK, I'm declaring war on all you posters who take a weekend hiatus. Post on the weekends, dammit! It's the only way I can get through this imposed ban on work surfing!
