You don't go to the sushi bar at lunch time with your Japanese speaking Cow Workers when you telecommute. You don't get to sit down and negotiate with colleagues when you telecommute. I have telecommuted, before there was a word for it and 1200 baud modems were hot shit. It sucked then, it sucks now. Working where you sleep is usually called prison. Except were you in an actual prison, you wouldn't have to fix your own meals. You sit alone, hoping the damn phone would ring. Knowing that the phone will ring when you finally do take a shower, or sit on the pot catching up on Vanity Fair. Telecommuting is a lonely, miserable existence. -- Christmas is coming up and you are becoming more desperate. There are suicide hotlines that you can call and volunteers will talk to you.
