Musings of this paper's editor
One day I was a writer, the next day I was the editor of the nation's first successful, widespread community journalism newspaper--The Northwest Voice. Writing has always been my passion, and I had contributed upwards of 60 submissions before I became editor. Now, I'm basking in my good fortune and loving every minute of compiling what I believe are masterpieces of unpracticed, non-professional, straight-from-the-heart journalism.

A blog about News, Neighborhoods, and Family & Home.

Exhausted

As many of you know, I This is spam on Mondays.  How do you feel about working at home?  Do you feel like you'd be successful?  Take too many breaks?  A long lunch?  Maybe even a nap??

I think the main concern most employers have is that an employee will slack off.  If given the freedom of being outside the watchful eye of the office, perhaps employers think that we won't do what is required for the job.

Not a chance!  I got more accomplished today than I would have working in a busy office with phone calls and visitors. 

I am here in the defense of all homeworkers!  I am fortunate enough to work for an employer who treasures family, so they like to make whatever concessions they can to keep their employees happy.  When The Voice hired me as the editor, I was told that I could This is spam (yay!), and so I do.  And, boy, let me tell you... 

Today after I took my daughter to school, I sat down to work...and I don't think I got up except to get a drink of water!  I worked both Fri. and Sat. night at the Jazz Festival, so I thought I'd work a little today and take the day off tomorrow.  GUESS WHAT?  No way, baby!  It's the finale of the prom issue this week...  I am having to assemble and collect and post all the prom pics that have been coming in the past couple of weeks  Thankfully, Debbie has been helping me!

Speaking of the Jazz Festival...did anyone else go?  It was a blast! I highly recommend that you go next year!

I, unfortunately, don't get a lot done at home for work.  But, I have youngsters.  If I'm at the computer trying 

to work, then my four year old is grabbing things off the desk and running.  Yesterday, it was the stapler.  My poor walls!!

Monday is definitely a productive day for both of us as a team! Haha, we make a good team in getting things done on Monday. I believe you with this. :P

I also feel if I'm at home, I get quite a bit done, then I would at work. No distractions really, and once I'm into working on something, I won't stop. Sometimes I even skip lunch.
