See, that's why I can't work from remote anymore

January 14th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

I had conversations with a couple of people today about the fact that I cannot stand working from remote any more. It turned out that the night would prove the point.

Spent the whole day at XOcamp, being tired I decided to head back home. Stopped at Legal to take some food. Gah! I left my power cord at the office! Grab my shrimps, run back, get in with some difficulties. Run into Mel, which also lost her power cord.

Well, a few hours later my stomach was complaining and my shrimps was cold, but I had spent a beautiful night with beautiful people. Mel trying to find the cheapest flight to Australia and later drawing us the plan for her travel around the world. Martin entertaining us with awesome New Zealand pictures and stories, while helping her out with the tickets. Adam noticing our excitement and pointing out that Martin has already found a new job… at the Wellington tourism office. Yifan looking very skeptical at the travel map, “But Mel, normal people usually spend six months to do *one* of the travels you drawed there”. “Sure, but they don’t sleep just three hours per night like me!”. Bernie and Michael friendly fighting about OLPC and Sugar Labs closeness, while migrating the build system.

Too tired and happy to say anything meaningful, I headed back home.

    The title seems to be wrong, as your post explains why you clearly MUST work remotely in order to get stuff done.

    Fair enough. I had forgot that the purpose of having job is getting stuff done!
