I opened my eyes on Thursday morning with a ikky feeling in my stomach!!! I groped for the mobile and the digital display showed the time to be 3.30 AM!!!! Now, Y in God's name had I woekn up at this time?? Then I remembered!!! My bad tummy.. i had to jump out of the bed and rush to the loo....!!!!! and had to continue doing this every 30 minutes from then on.!!!! Must be something I ate.... When it became obvious that I'm not going to sleep, I decided that I would start to office late... and I started working from home using the VPN that I had installed last week.. That was the first time I was using the MLAB (thats my office computer) for a long time from home... The speed was simply amazing!It was just like working from office... and I was pleased with myself.... and as I got involved in working, I didnt notice that I no longer had that ikky feeling.. The clock showed 7 AM when I realised that I was feeling perfectly fine and I could even get ready and catch the shuttle at 7.45... But I didnt want to... coz, I was working full-fledged now and didnt want to stop and then start all over again.. I gave a call to Sankar(thats my manager.. he is an AMAZING person, later about him :)...) and told him that I would get to office in the afternoon and that I was working from home.. He seemed to have no problems..!!
Its simply amazing how much worh one can get done when he/she is working from home.. I got to read the paper, made my own filter coffee, had breakfast - all this along with getting a good amount of work done.. Ofcourse, there was some disturbance coz my roomies were getting ready and there was noise around-doors opening, cupboards opening, etc etc.. But i had no problems blocking them out.. I have always been a person who can block out sound easily!... around 10 the house was peaceful again.. and I continued working undisturbed till 12.. Then I decided to go to office coz I had some doubts to be cleared by my mod lead... so left home @ 12.30!!!
That ended my day @ work from home.. :) :)
I hope i get to do this once in a while coz its a welcome change.... ofcourse, too much of it owuld probably be boring!!!!
(and what happened to my stomach upset?? well.. nothing.. it just went away :D )
