[Cialug] Programming telecommute

[Theron Conrey]

I'm with Derek.  Have you asked about working from home a few days a week?
I'd certainly start there.  I "worked from home" for years, and while I'm
not saying it's terrible, it's certainly not for everyone.  I was sure I'd
love it and I didn't.

Getting a couple days a week from your current employer and a few months
under your belt you may know better if working from home is for you.

just my 10c, and what I wish someone would have told me :)
